Paint correction

A ceramic coating is a liquid protection for gloss, easier washing and resistance to UV and chemicals. PPF is a thicker clear film that physically stops stone chips. Ceramic protects against the environment, film against damage – for new cars the best answer is often a combination of both.

Interior detailing takes one day, paint correction one to two days, ceramic coating two to three days, PPF three to five days. The duration is confirmed in your quote and I stick to it. You collect the car when the work is truly done – I never rush at the expense of the result.

A new car, gladly – it is the best moment, while the paint is still flawless. Freshly repainted panels must fully cure first; we usually wait 30 to 60 days, depending on the body shop. Call me and we will arrange the timing.

Everything listed under each service is included: preparation, labour, materials and the final inspection. I am not a VAT payer, so the quoted price is final, with no hidden extras. A surcharge is only possible by prior agreement, e.g. for heavily neglected cars.

Of course – the inspection and the quote are always free. The workshop is in Dol pri Trebnjem, two minutes off the A2 motorway, 20 minutes from Novo mesto and 45 minutes from Ljubljana. Tell me in the form what bothers you; the condition of the paint I assess at the inspection, under proper lighting.

It depends on the number of stages. A single-stage polish removes up to 60% of defects – light swirl marks and dullness. Two-stage correction removes up to 85%, three-stage up to 95%. Scratches you can feel with a fingernail go below the clear coat, and polishing will not fully remove those.

Before polishing I measure the clear coat on every panel with a gauge, so I never polish blind. On cars with thin or previously polished paint I adapt the process and tell you beforehand – clear coat can only be removed once. I would rather leave a small defect than take the paint to its limit.
