Prestons Paint Correction Experts: Restoring Faded and Oxidised Paintwork
Your car’s paint is constantly exposed to sun, rain, road grime, and harsh washing chemicals — all of which slowly degrade the surface. Over time, your once-glossy paint can become dull, rough, or chalky. This condition, known as oxidation, is common among Sydney drivers, especially in the hot western suburbs.
At Infinity Detailing Studio in Prestons, we specialise in professional paint correction, restoring depth, gloss, and clarity to tired and faded paintwork. Whether your car is mildly dull or heavily oxidised, we have the expertise and tools to bring back a finish that truly shines.
What Causes Paint Oxidation?
Oxidation occurs when the clear coat — the protective top layer of paint — breaks down due to UV exposure and environmental contamination. Once that barrier is compromised, oxygen reacts with the pigment layers beneath, leaving the surface faded and rough.
Other factors include:
Infrequent washing or waxing
Harsh detergents and automated car washes
Bird droppings, tree sap, and industrial fallout
Improper polishing or machine buffing
This type of damage is especially noticeable on red and black vehicles, as fading and chalkiness are more visible under sunlight.
How Paint Correction Works
Paint correction is the process of machine polishing your vehicle’s clear coat to remove defects and restore a deep, reflective finish. At Infinity Detailing Studio, we approach each job carefully — starting with inspection, paint thickness readings, and test spots.
We begin by washing and decontaminating the vehicle using an iron remover and clay bar to remove embedded particles. Once the surface is clean, we use multi-stage polishing techniques with varying compounds and pads to safely level the clear coat.
This process removes oxidation, swirl marks, water spots, and minor scratches. Depending on the paint condition, we may perform one-step, two-step, or full multi-stage correction.
The Transformation
After polishing, the difference is striking — colours look richer, reflections are sharper, and the surface feels smooth and slick. Many clients are surprised to see just how much colour and gloss can be restored without repainting.
To ensure the results last, we strongly recommend following up with a Ceramic Coating application. Ceramic coatings from CarPro provide long-term protection against UV rays, water spotting, and oxidation, locking in that newly corrected finish. You can learn more about this on our Ceramic Coating page.
Ongoing Care
Even after correction, proper maintenance is key. Our Maintenance Wash packages are designed to keep your paint in top shape while preserving the coating and preventing new swirl marks. We only use safe wash methods and pH-balanced soaps, ensuring your freshly polished finish stays flawless for as long as possible.
