WHEN YOU NEED IT
Signs Your Aircraft Needs Paint Correction
These defects sit within the clear coat or paint layer itself — no amount of washing or waxing will remove them. They require controlled abrasive correction.
Swirl Marks
Circular micro-scratches from improper washing or buffing. Visible as a halo effect under direct light.
Oxidation
UV-degraded paint that looks chalky, faded, or dull. Common on aircraft parked outdoors without a hangar.
Scratches & Scuffs
Surface-level scratches from hangar rash, cover contact, or handling. If your fingernail catches it, it may need Heavy correction.
UV Damage
Prolonged sun exposure degrades the clear coat layer, reducing depth and gloss. Especially common on wing and stabiliser surfaces.
Water Spots & Etching
Mineral deposits from hard water or rain that bond to the paint surface and leave permanent marks if untreated.
Pre-Ceramic Preparation
Ceramic Coating seals whatever is underneath — including defects. Correction before coating maximises protection life — Standard 2–3 years, Premium 5+ years.

PROCESS
How We Work
STEP 1
Inspection
Paint depth readings + LED inspection of every panel. We map the defects and recommend the right correction level.
STEP 2
Correction
Panel-by-panel machine correction with inspection after each pass. We stop when the target level is reached.
STEP 3
Finish & Protect
IPA wipe-down reveals the true finish. Sealant or ceramic applied. Before/after photos and paint depth report provided.

RECOMMENDED PAIRING
Protect What You've Restored
Paint Correction restores the surface to its best condition — but without protection, UV, rain, and airfield contamination begin degrading it again immediately. Ceramic Coating seals the corrected finish for 2–3 years (Standard) or 5+ years (Premium), preserving the gloss and colour depth you've just recovered.
The professional protocol is Paint Correction first, Ceramic Coating second. Together they deliver a surface that looks better and stays protected far longer than either service alone.
Ceramic Coating
Seal and protect the corrected surface. Prices for Small aircraft — see full pricing on the Ceramic Coating page.
