Paint on a classic car often looks tired long before it needs a respray. Swirl marks from years of washing and a general dullness hide what's still good paint underneath. A respray is expensive and loses original finish that many owners would rather keep.

Micro-correction removes the damage from the surface of the paint and brings back the depth and gloss. A ceramic coating then protects it, so it stays that way for longer and is easier to clean.

What's involved

  • Washing and decontaminating the paint to remove tar and embedded grime

  • Measuring paint thickness across the car, so we know how much can safely be corrected

  • Machine polishing in stages, taking off as little paint as possible

  • Applying a ceramic coating

Why DS-specific expertise matters

We've been working on these cars since 2006 and have looked after many hundreds of them. We know what to look for because we've seen what happens when it's missed.

Paul and Rad have looked after my cars for the past twelve years and I am very grateful for their expertise. There's so much to learn about the DS, and Paul has always been generous with his time and knowledge. He'll provide an honest appraisal on any potential purchase and identifies the many cars that are best avoided.
