Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Paint Correction?
Paint Revival adds precision wet sanding to reduce orange peel and remove far heavier defects, it is the highest level of paint refinement we offer.
Is wet sanding safe for my paint?
In experienced hands, yes. We take thickness readings and assess every vehicle individually before any sanding begins.
Should I protect the finish afterwards?
We strongly recommend it. A multi-year ceramic coating, graphene upgrade or PPF preserves the results and eases maintenance.
Is this a maintenance polish?
No, it is a specialist restoration service for those seeking the ultimate finish, not a routine enhancement.
How is it priced?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition and defect severity. Contact us for a tailored quotation and assessment.
