This Detail is the ultimate of Diablo Detailing's machine polishing services, often removing up to 99% of paintwork imperfections including light scratches, swirls, marring and holograms; only the complexity of the bodywork, severity of defects and the limit of previous repairs can limit full paint correction. The finished, highly polished paintwork will surpass the original factory paint finish. Full paint correction is often seen as an excellent alternative to a costly respray at a fraction of the cost.
The completed full paint correction detail will significantly enhance the colour and feel of the paintwork and over-all surface gloss of the finished vehicle. Metallics, pearls, and straight paint colours will be brought to life, showing their true and often varied hues.
