Car Paint Correction Products And Accessories To Lock In The Shine, Enhance the Gloss And Safeguard Your Finish
Paint correction is the only way to eliminate common defects and restore the original lustre of your paintwork. During this stage, imperfections are removed to give your vehicle a refined look and that coveted showroom shine.
Defects in your paintwork, lacquer or clear coat tend to reflect light in different directions which often gives a dull, shallow finish. But, by using advanced abrasives and deep-cleaning polishes to achieve a super-smooth, refined surface, you can create a top layer that reflects light uniformly to create the appearance of increased depth and gloss. Here at Auto Finesse we have not just the advanced compounds and polishes needed to get the best results in the hands of any detailer, but the premium tools and professional accessories, too.

The Auto Finesse Revitalise System V2 is a comprehensive three-step machine polishing kit designed to restore and perfect your vehicle’s paintwork. This system includes three grades of compounds and corresponding foam polishing pads, each colour-coded for ease of use. Developed alongside our DPX and MPX Dual Action Machine Polishers, the Revitalise System V2 effectively removes oxidation, holograms, water spots, etching, and swirl marks, delivering professional-level results at home. By systematically working through each step, users can achieve a flawless, high-gloss finish on any gloss paint surface. - How do Auto Finesse’s car paint correction products address common paint defects?
Our range of car paint correction products is specifically formulated to tackle various paint imperfections, including scratches, oxidation, fading, and swirl marks. Utilising advanced abrasive technologies, these products work to remove surface defects and refine the paintwork. For instance, our selection of polishes and compounds can eliminate scratches and swirl marks, while our glazes enhance depth and gloss. When used alongside our machine polishers and appropriate pads, these car paint correction accessories ensure a professional-grade finish, restoring the vehicle's original lustre. - What types of polishing pads are included in the Revitalise System V2, and what are their specific uses?
The Revitalise System V2 includes three distinct foam polishing pads, each engineered for a specific stage of the correction process:
- Restoring Pad (Heavy Cutting): Designed to eliminate severe paint defects such as deep scratches and heavy oxidation.
- Polishing Pad (Medium Cutting): Targets moderate imperfections, including swirl marks and light scratches, refining the paint surface.
- Finishing Pad (Fine Finishing): Used for the final polishing stage to enhance gloss and clarity, ensuring a mirror-like finish.
Each pad is colour-coded to correspond with its respective compound, streamlining the correction process. - Can Revitalise System V2 be used by beginners, or is it intended solely for professionals?
The Revitalise System V2 is designed to be user-friendly, making it suitable for both beginners and professionals. Its colour-coded compounds and pads simplify the polishing process, guiding users through each step with ease. Whether you’re a seasoned detailer or new to paint correction, this system provides all the necessary components to achieve professional-grade results on your vehicle's paintwork. - What car paint correction accessories does Auto Finesse offer to complement the polishing process?
We provide a variety of accessories designed for both professionals and enthusiasts. Our range includes machine polishers like the DPX and MPX Dual Action Polishers, which offer precision and ease of use. We also supply foam and microfibre pads tailored for different polishing stages, pad cleaning brushes to maintain pad efficiency, masking tapes to protect trim areas during polishing. Furthermore, we offer detailing lights like the Swirl Spotter to identify imperfections. These accessories ensure that users have all the necessary tools to achieve optimal results. - How does Auto Finesse’s Tripple All-in-One Polish benefit my vehicle’s paintwork?
Tripple All-in-One Polish is a versatile product that cleans, polishes, and protects your vehicle's paint in a single application. It contains fine abrasives and deep-cleaning solvents to remove minor imperfections and contaminants, while an infusion of carnauba wax provides a high-gloss finish and durable protection. This makes it an ideal solution for those seeking a quick yet effective enhancement of their vehicle's appearance. - Do I need to clay my car before using Auto Finesse polishes and compounds?
Yes, claying your car before using our professional paint correction products is highly recommended. The clay bar removes embedded contaminants that washing alone cannot eliminate, ensuring a clean surface for polishing. If these contaminants remain, they can cause additional micro-marring during machine polishing. We suggest using the Auto Finesse Clay Bar with Glide Clay Lube to safely decontaminate the paint before proceeding with correction. - What is the purpose of the Auto Finesse Pad Prime, and when should it be used?
The Auto Finesse Pad Prime is a specialised pad lubricant designed to prepare foam polishing pads before the application of compounds or polishes. Priming the pad with this product ensures even distribution of the polishing medium, reduces the risk of pad-induced marring, and enhances the overall efficiency of the correction process. It is recommended to apply Pad Prime to new or freshly cleaned pads prior to any compounding, polishing, or refining tasks, ensuring optimal performance and a flawless finish. - Can Auto Finesse paint correction products be used on ceramic-coated cars?
While our professional car paint correction products are effective at removing defects, they should not be used on a ceramic-coated surface unless the goal is to remove the coating itself. Abrasive compounds and machine polishing will degrade the protective ceramic layer. If a ceramic-coated car has light imperfections, it is best to maintain it with non-abrasive products, such as Auto Finesse Finale Quick Detailer or Glide Clay Lube, to preserve the coating’s longevity. - How often should I use Auto Finesse’s professional paint correction products on my vehicle?
The frequency of using our paint correction products depends on your vehicle’s condition and how it is maintained. If your paintwork has significant swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, a full paint correction may be required. However, for general upkeep, light polishing every 6–12 months can keep the finish looking pristine. To extend the results, we recommend maintaining the paint with Auto Finesse’s glazes, waxes, and sealants, reducing the need for frequent correction.
