Paint correction questions.
Do you do paint correction?
Yes. Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove swirl marks and light scratches from the paint. We quote it after seeing the car, because the price depends on its size and condition.
What causes swirl marks?
Swirl marks are fine scratches in a car’s clear coat, most often caused by poor washing and drying technique. They show as circular webs around a point of light, especially in direct sun.
Is paint correction the same as a polish?
No. Paint correction aims to remove defects such as swirl marks and light scratches. A shine polish, like the one in our Executive Detail, improves gloss and adds no paint protection.
Do you offer ceramic coating?
No, we do not offer ceramic coating at the moment. Our Executive Detail polish is for shine only and does not add paint protection.
Are you insured?
Yes. The Car Bath carries public liability insurance.
Can I bring my car to you instead?
Yes, by appointment. You can drop your car at our bay at 27 Honeyside Rd W, Frere Estate, Cape Town. Book first, because we do not take walk-ins.
