Paint correction in Al Quoz
Bring back the depth in your paint. Reduce wash swirls, light scratches and haze with a polish chosen for the condition of your car.
At My Car Repair Dubai, we assess the paint and discuss the finish you want. A single-stage polish is typically estimated around AED 400–800; deeper correction needs a separate assessment.

Start with what you can see
Different marks need different treatment. Choose the closest concern for a useful starting point, then let us assess the actual panel.
Fine circles visible in sunlight
Fine swirls in an otherwise sound glossy finish may improve with a single-stage machine polish. More pronounced marks may need a cutting stage followed by refinement.
What we check: depth, paint condition, previous repairs and how the surface responds to a test area. The aim is a worthwhile improvement while preserving the finish.
Haze, flat reflections or water marks
Water spots may be mineral deposits on the surface or marks etched into the clear coat. Cleaning removes deposits; any remaining damage needs a separate assessment before polishing.
What we check: whether suitable cleaning restores clarity or correction could improve the remaining haze. Light oxidation may improve, but peeling or failed clear coat cannot be restored with a polish.
A distinct groove, chip or exposed color layer
Polishing cannot replace missing paint. A deep scratch, stone chip or exposed primer may need a touch-up or panel refinishing. Trying to remove the whole mark can take away too much surrounding clear coat.
Next step: send a close-up and a wider panel photo. We can discuss paint repair and respray options after assessing the damage.
Matte or satin paint, wraps and paint protection film need their own care process. Tell us about them before booking a machine polish.
Choose by condition, not stage count
Vehicle size, paint condition, previous repairs and the agreed level of correction change the price. More stages are only useful when the paint needs them.
AED 400–800 estimated sedan price
SUV: AED 600–1,100
For light swirls, mild haze and a gloss refresh on suitable paint. One polishing stage aims to improve clarity without chasing every deeper mark.
Allow roughly 3–5 hours for a typical suitable car, subject to preparation and its condition.
AED 800–1,500 estimated sedan price
SUV: AED 1,200–2,200
A cutting stage followed by a finer finishing stage, where the paint condition permits. Useful for more visible swirls and defects that need additional work.
Plan for a full day or longer. Larger vehicles and more involved correction may cost more and need extra time.
These estimates include washing, suitable paint decontamination, the polishing stages described, standard wax or sealant protection and 5% VAT. We agree the finish and full total after assessing the paint. Ceramic coating, interior detailing and paint repairs are separate.
Send the model, year, color and photos in good light. Mention repainted panels, existing coating or PPF. A final correction plan needs the paint inspected.
Care before correction
Before polishing begins, preparation and a small test area show how the paint responds. That helps us choose the level of correction while preserving sound paint.
We review visible defects and repair history, then explain which marks are likely to improve and which may remain.
We wash the car and remove surface contamination using suitable methods, then protect sensitive trim and edges before correction.
We use a controlled test area to choose the pad and polish combination, with extra care around edges and repaired panels.
We inspect the finish under suitable light, explain any remaining marks and apply the agreed finishing protection.
Different jobs for your paint
After improving the paint, the next choice is how to protect it. Polishing, wax and ceramic coating have different jobs; adding protection does not remove existing scratches.
Improve the surface
An abrasive polish smooths minor defects by removing a small amount of the surface. On clear-coated paint, that means working within the clear coat, so thin or previously polished areas may limit the correction.
Add finishing protection
Adds a protective finish with its own maintenance needs. Some products temporarily disguise fine marks; that is different from removing the defect.
Plan longer-term care
For protection beyond the standard wax or sealant finish, ceramic coating is a separate treatment with its own preparation and aftercare. Careful washing is still needed.
We do not recommend aggressive correction just to chase a flawless finish. Matte and satin surfaces should not be treated with conventional gloss polishing. Existing film, coatings and fresh paint also need their specific care requirements checked.
Black and dark paint
Fine swirls and polishing haze can stand out on darker colors. The right finishing stage matters as much as the initial correction.
A finer finishing stage can reduce trails left by an earlier machine polish, often called holograms. We also explain which deeper marks should remain to avoid removing too much surrounding clear coat.
Your quote follows vehicle size, paint condition and the work needed. A well-kept black car may need less correction than a heavily marked lighter-colored car.
Keep the finish looking good
After correction, careful washing helps keep new marks from replacing the ones removed. Rubbing a dusty panel or using a dirty cloth can scratch the finish again.
Rinse first, use clean wash materials and work on cool paint. Avoid wiping a dusty car dry.
Use clean, soft drying towels. Deal with bird droppings and other deposits promptly using a suitable cleaning method, without scrubbing them into the paint.
Wash timing and curing requirements depend on the wax, sealant or coating applied. We discuss the relevant aftercare at handover.
There is no need to book aggressive correction every few months. Maintain the finish, then assess new defects before deciding on another polish.

It can improve suitable light scratches and swirl marks in sound glossy paint. Deep scratches, chips and missing paint need a different repair. We assess the depth and condition before recommending correction.
For a sedan, single-stage polishing is estimated at AED 400–800 and two-stage correction at AED 800–1,500. SUV estimates are AED 600–1,100 and AED 1,200–2,200 respectively. These include washing, suitable decontamination, standard finishing protection and 5% VAT. Condition and extra repairs can change the total.
No. The appropriate process depends on the paint and the defects. Extra cutting is not automatically beneficial and may remove more material than necessary. The aim is a useful improvement with an appropriate level of correction.
A suitable single-stage job may take roughly 3–5 hours. Two-stage or more involved correction can take a full day or longer. Preparation, vehicle size and any additional protection affect the handover time.
New wash marks can develop if dirt is rubbed into the paint or unsuitable washing materials are used. Some products also temporarily fill marks rather than fully correct them. Careful washing helps preserve the improvement.
Conventional gloss polishing is unsuitable for matte and satin paint. Wraps and PPF need product-specific care. Tell us the finish or film fitted so we can discuss the appropriate cleaning or assessment instead.
Only if ceramic coating is explicitly included in the agreed quote. Polishing corrects the finish; coating is a separate protective treatment with its own preparation, application and aftercare requirements.
The timing and method depend on the refinish system and its cure requirements. Tell us when and where the panel was painted. Follow the paint supplier or repairer’s instructions before polishing or applying protection.
