Silver detail.
Our SILVER correction detail is designed for 'medium' level paint defects, which can be present on brand new cars.
Our SILVER correction detail is designed for vehicles with ‘medium’ level paint defects – which may have been picked up over time, but may also be present on brand new cars.
The SILVER correction process will deal with swirls and scratches, dullness a reduced depth of colour caused by poor hand washing techniques and automated car washes. Other defects that can be removed with this process are light car park scrapes, water marks, ‘buffer lines / holograms’ left by body shops or less experienced detailers, and minor bird dropping stains. The darker the colour of your vehicle, the more noticeable these defects will be (lighter colours will not show damage as much as a darker colour). This is why sometimes we need to carry out a SILVER detail to remove defects on a darker coloured car that would be improved ‘enough’ by a lesser package on a pale coloured car.
The SILVER correction process will consist of two stages: firstly, a rough/aggressive abrasive machine polishing stage removes a very fine layer of the clearcoat, which removes the surface defects along with it. However, this stage leaves its own faint/hazy marring behind. Secondly, we use a much gentler machine polishing process to carry out a refining stage – this brings the paintwork up to the exceptional gloss finish you’ve been hoping for.
This two-stage process can take between 20 and 30 hours of machine polishing alone, and we aim to achieve around 85% defect correction on a swirl-mark covered car.
