Restoring the Magnetic Grey Finish on This Focus RS

This Ford Focus RS came to DMD Car Detailing in Paisley for my Minor Paint Correction treatment, with the goal of refining its Magnetic Grey paintwork before locking in long-term protection. Once the correction stage was complete, the owner chose a Carbon Collective ceramic coating to keep that finish looking sharp for years to come. The alloy wheels were removed from the car and ceramic coated separately, ensuring full, even coverage in every hard-to-reach area.

What Minor Paint Correction Involves


Minor Paint Correction sits a step above our standard Paint Enhancement package. Where an enhancement focuses on light swirl removal and gloss refinement, this process uses a heavier-cut compound to tackle deeper, more established defects in the clear coat. A second machine polishing stage then follows, refining clarity and boosting reflectivity across every panel.

Depending on the condition and paint hardness of the vehicle, most cars treated with this process see around an 80% reduction in visible swirl marks. For paintwork with more significant damage, my Major Paint Correction service is available as a more intensive alternative.


Locking In the Results with Ceramic Coating

Correcting the paint is only half the job — protecting that finish is what makes it last. Once polishing was finished, this Focus RS received a ceramic paint protection coating, available with either 2-year or 5-year durability options. A quality ceramic coating adds hydrophobic properties, UV resistance, and a deep, glossy finish, while making everyday maintenance washes considerably easier.

For owners of newer vehicles looking to protect factory paint from day one, my New Car Ceramic Coating package is also worth a look.
