When you live in Cairns and Far North Queensland, your car’s paintwork faces some of the harshest conditions in Australia. Strong UV rays, heavy rain, humidity, and even flooding can all take a toll on your vehicles' finish. At Samurai Auto Detailing, we specialise in paint correction services in Cairns and Edmonton, QLD, helping restore cars that many people would think are beyond repair.

Recently, we worked on a vehicle that had been neglected since day one.

The transformation was incredible, and it’s a perfect example of what paint correction can achieve.

Take a look at the photos attached at the bottom of this blog. The result was night and day, a finish that went from dull and lifeless to glossy, reflective, and protected.

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the professional process of removing imperfections in your car's paint to restore gloss, depth, and smoothness. This is achieved through careful machine polishing, using specialised compounds and pads.

Paint correction removes:

Oxidation and fading caused by the Cairns climate
Scratches and swirl marks
Water spots and etching
Staining and dullness from environmental damage

Unlike a quick polish, true paint correction levels out the paint surface, delivering a long-lasting, showroom-style finish.

The Paint Correction: Step by Step

The Chrysler we recently corrected had been neglected for years, leaving the paint rough and badly contaminated. Here’s how we restored it:

Wash & Decontamination – A deep clean to remove dirt, salt, and minerals left behind due to neglect.
Paint Correction – Multi-stage machine polishing to cut through the oxidation, refine the finish, and restore gloss.
Protection – Sealing the paint to lock in the results and defend against UV, water, and future oxidation.
