Paint Enhancement vs Paint Correction
Paint enhancement and paint correction both use machine polishing to improve the appearance of a vehicle's paintwork, but they are aimed at different levels of improvement. An enhancement focuses on increasing gloss and clarity while reducing lighter imperfections, whereas correction involves more extensive work to tackle a greater proportion of visible defects.
When Paint Enhancement Makes Sense
A paint enhancement is well suited to vehicles where the paint is generally in reasonable condition but has lost some of its finish through normal use and washing. A single-stage machine polish can improve gloss, sharpen reflections and reduce lighter swirl marks and imperfections without the additional time involved in a more intensive correction. It's often the appropriate choice when the aim is a noticeable overall improvement rather than chasing every individual defect.
When Paint Correction Is the Better Option
Paint correction is intended for vehicles with more noticeable swirling, scratches, oxidation or other defects that require additional polishing stages to address. The process allows more time to assess and work the paintwork, with the level of correction depending on its condition and what can be safely achieved. At Vos Detailing, both options can also provide the preparation required before adding longer-term protection such as a ceramic coating.

No. Valeting is primarily cleaning and maintaining the car. Detailing covers more involved work such as decontamination, machine polishing, paint correction and ceramic coating, aswell as cleaning and/or restoring parts of the vehicle a valet simply would not touch.
-
It depends on the package, vehicle size and condition. A maintenance valet is quicker than a deep interior and exterior reset; the expected times are detailed on the detailing services price list above, and will be confirmed when booking.

Tell us the vehicle, where it is located and the condition it is in. We can point you to the appropriate valet rather than selling more work than the car needs.
