To say Lando was jittery when he arrived at the track in Melbourne for media day ahead of the first race of the season was an understatement. He had barely slept the night before, tossing and turning for hours, and sending Lottie an endless number of TikTok videos that had been amusing to his sleep deprived brain, but probably weren't as funny to her. He half wondered if he needed to text her and apologise. He'd given very little thought as he was doing it to what time of day it might be for her.

He didn't have the brain power to think about it for long though. As the car slowed on the approach to the track, his knee bounced nervously, and he felt sick to his stomach. There were crowds of fans lining the approach to the entrance. This time last year he would've wound down the window, waved and stopped to take photos with them. This year though, he just kept his head down and hoped that the glass of the windows was a dark enough tint that they might not be able to see who was inside.

There was a twinge of guilt that hit him that he was ignoring these people who had made such an effort to come out and support him. It settled uneasily on top of the anxiety at the thought of facing the media, not helping the nauseous feeling he'd had all morning. Breakfast had been out of the question that day, and even knowing his stomach was completely empty he still felt like he might throw up any second.

Of course he was scheduled to be in the press conference with Max. He'd seen that one coming a mile off, when the McLaren press team had told him it had just been confirmation of what he'd already known was coming, and had been absolutely dreading. He could already hear the questions, different variations of the same ones he'd been asked at the end of the previous year. The world wanting to hear a detailed account, from Lando himself, of all the ways he'd managed to fuck up his own chances at the championship while having the faster car.

It had occurred to him that morning to stay in bed and try and claim he was sick, anything to avoid having to go there and face the media. He was starting to wonder if the McLaren team had some kind of sixth sense though, because just as he was contemplating making the call, one of the girls on the team had turned up and knocked on his hotel room door to tell him it was time to go. Having an escort to the waiting car meant there was no escape.

It didn't help that he hadn't seen Max since the end of the season either. The two of them were friends, and they had been for a long time. He wasn't sure why he felt quite so anxious about seeing his friend again, after all it wasn't like Max was the type to hold it over him that he'd beaten him. Their friendship had survived several incidents on the track during some rather heated battles last year and he'd never questioned it. But for whatever reason, Lando found himself desperately wishing he could avoid him for a bit longer. Even though Max would probably have nothing but kind words and some encouragement that maybe this year would be his year, Lando simply didn't want to hear it.

He was slow to get out of the car when they parked up at the entrance to the paddock, just sitting there and staring into space until someone from McLaren opened the door and looked at him expectantly. "Sorry, I'm coming." He mumbled, feeling his cheeks flush with embarrassment that they'd just caught him staring into space like an idiot.

"We want to film a few clips on the way in." The woman explained to him as he climbed out of the car. "Highlight from last year, what you're looking forward to this year. Same thing we do every year, you know the drill."

"Right." Lando nodded weakly, scouring his mind for something positive he could say about last year, or this year if he was being honest. Would it be a bad thing if he said he was just looking forward to getting to the summer break because that would mean he'd survived the first part of the season?

His eyes flickered uncertainly towards the crowd of fans gathered outside the entrance to the paddock. He could already see things being held out in the hope that he might sign them or perhaps stop for a photo. There was absolutely nothing he wanted to do less in that moment, what he really wanted to be able to do was teleport into the sanctuary of his drivers room. But, if he walked past them all without acknowledging them then it was just going to pour fuel on the fire of the internet hatred, people would be saying he was rude and ungrateful on top of all the other things they were already saying about him.

So, he rearranged his face into what he sincerely hoped at least closely resembled a genuine smile, pulled his hat down a little bit further over his face and set off in the direction of the turnstiles, pass gripped firmly in his hand. He stopped at the far end and signed a couple of caps, trying to keep the smile on his face as he heard them tell him how disappointed they'd been that he'd missed out last year and they hoped that this year would be his year. He knew they were only trying to be nice, to offer some words of support and encouragement but he didn't want to hear it.

He picked up the pace after that, skipping his way along the line before splitting off in the direction of the turnstiles, keeping his head down as he heard people calling at him to come back. The only way he was going to survive this was to get his head down and make his way through the paddock and in to the safety of his drivers room as quickly as possible. He was so entirely focused on doing this, that he'd all but forgotten about the McLaren cameras that were trained expectantly on him once he got through the turnstiles.

"Lando?" They prompted, causing him to look up from where his gaze had been firmly fixed on the floor.

"Oh right... sorry." He mumbled, forcing another smile onto his face. "I uh... well, it's good to be back here for the start of another season. Last year obviously didn't work out the way I wanted it to in the end, but I'd say the highlight for me was getting my first win in Miami. I'm hoping I can do a better job this year and we'll have plenty more podiums to celebrate as a team."

He didn't hang around long enough for them to ask any more questions or tell him that it wasn't quite right. He just got his head back down, almost breaking into a run, as he headed for the McLaren hospitality. He'd actually ended up climbing through some bushes and taking a detour when he'd spotted sky sports in the middle of doing an interview stood in his path, unwilling to take the risk of walking by them in case they tried to talk to him.

Eventually though, even with the detour, he'd made it into McLaren. He'd mumbled his greetings to a few members of the team he hadn't seen for a while, then jogged up the stairs two at a time to get to his room, locking the door firmly behind himself in case anyone was tempted to come and find him. Then, he flopped down on the sofa in the corner of the room, throwing his head back with a groan.

It was going to be a very, very long day indeed for him.

Lottie meanwhile, was tossing and turning in her bed at Flo's house, trying to get comfortable enough to get a couple of hours of sleep. Her leg was throbbing, an unwelcome reminder of how much more it was going to hurt in a few days when she had her surgery. She'd already taken another handful of painkillers, usually they knocked her right out and she'd then get to sleep, but on this occasion they didn't seem to be doing anything.

After another half an hour of trying to force herself to sleep and failing miserably, she gave up. She flicked on the bedside light and picked up her phone.

She couldn't help but smile as she saw a stack of TikTok notifications from Lando. One perk to him being on the other side of the world was that when she couldn't sleep, he was generally awake and willing to entertain her.

She scrolled through the videos, sending various reactions as the silly videos made her laugh. It was only a couple of minutes later that her phone started ringing, the notifications that she'd been replying to him obviously clueing him in that she was awake, despite the weird hour of the night.

"Hey." She yawned, answering the phone.

"What are you doing awake?" He asked. "Isn't it like the middle of the night there?"

"Yeah. I couldn't sleep. I was entertaining myself watching all this TikTok's that you sent me." She shrugged. "How's your day going?"

"Why can't you sleep?" He asked, and she could almost hear him frowning at her.

"My leg hurts and I can't get comfy." She told him, although she suspected he could've firghred the answer to that question out without having to ask her. It was the same reason she hadn't had a good nights sleep in months. "And now I don't have someone here who's willing to spend the whole night watching Netflix with me to keep me company."

"Trust me, I'd much rather be there with you doing that." Lando sighed.

"Where are you?" Lottie asked curiously.

"I uh... I'm at the track." He told her. "It's media day and then I've got some meetings with the team before tomorrow."

That more than accounted for the strange tone of his voice. "How are you finding it?" She asked softly.

"It uh... it's about what I expected." He told her. "I'll live, I'm sure."

"Tell me about it." She suggested.

"It's fine, I'm fine. You'll be bored. I'm making a problem out of nothing."

"I'm sure you're not." She told him. "And if you do bore me to sleep then that would be a win, maybe I'll finally get some sleep." She joked.

There was a faint laugh from Lando's end of the call but it didn't sound at all genuine, and she suddenly wished she could see his face. It was hard to get a read on it through the phone, but something was wrong.

"Oh it's fine." He said dismissively. "I'll be fine once I get back out there I'm sure. I might've just done a bit too much of a good job hiding from everyone over the break. I think I've forgotten how to do this, and then they're all just going to ask me questions about last year that I don't want to answer.... And yeah, it'll be the first time I've seen max and I just... I don't know, I'm being stupid I think. Ignore me."

"You're not being stupid." She reassured him. "I get it, it makes sense. I know he's your friend but it's always going to be a bit weird. You are allowed to be disappointed about last year, Lando. You don't have to keep trying to pretend that you aren't."

"I need to get over it and start thinking about this year." He sighed. "I think Zak must've told me that about one hundred times since the end of last season. I haven't seen him yet today but I can guarantee now that he says it at least three times before I can even get to the press conference."

"I know you don't want to hear it and it feels like people are saying stupid things that just make it worse, but they're only saying it because they care." She said softly, and she could hear him sighing on the other end of the phone.

"It doesn't make me feel any better though." He huffed. "I just want to forget about it. Pretend none of it ever happened."

"I don't know if we should really pretend that none of it happened." She disagreed. "If we did that then we'd have to forget about Miami too. Remember how happy you were? God Flo was crying when you won."

"Yeah." He sighed. "I was so happy, and then all of a sudden it went from 'he's never going to win a race' to 'he's going to win the diver's championship' in the space of a few weeks. I never even got to enjoy it really. The pressure was... is... it's ridiculous."

"I know." She agreed. "But neither of us can do anything to stop them. All I can do is say I'll be here if you want to call me up and rant about it after you're done?"

"God I wish you were here." He groaned, and then immediately felt embarrassed that he'd just said that out loud.

"I will come to a race as soon as this surgery is over and done with, I promise."

"When is the surgery again?" He asked, he'd been so wrapped up in his own stress and the thought of going racing again that he'd very nearly forgotten all about her rapidly approaching surgery.

"Wednesday." She told him. "So I'll still be here to watch you on tv and cheer you on this weekend. I think we're going over to have lunch with your mum and watch. I think she's missing your dad, she's been spending a lot of time here. It's really winding Flo up." She couldn't help but laugh at the memory of Flo and Cisca having an incredibly heated argument after Flo had come home from work to find her kitchen cupboards had all been rearranged into what Cisca had deemed a more logical order.

"I don't know why she didn't just come with him." Lando sighed. "Or he could've stayed home, they don't need to be here to watch me fuck it all up in person do they. It's there on tv for everyone to watch live."

"First of all, you're not going to fuck it up." Lottie told him firmly. "You've got absolutely no idea what's going to happen until you actually get out there. Secondly, they're your parents. Of course they want to be there to support you. We'd all be there if we could. Even Flo, as much as she jokes and moans and says she wouldn't, we all know she'd be there in a heartbeat if she thought it would help."

"I've been hiding from Dad." Lando confessed. "He's as bad as the rest of the team for the motivational speeches trying to convince me that this year will be my year. I just can't face it."

"Have you actually left your hotel room since you got there?" Lottie asked.

"Well, I was at Daniel's for a bit. It was okay there, he's been in my shoes and he gets it. He just sort of knew I didn't want to talk about it so we just talked about anything but racing and messed around on his farm..."

"And then?" Lottie prompted.

"Then I spent the rest of this week trying to hide from Carlos because he wants to play golf and that'll just turn into a whole day of him saying whatever he thinks will make me feel better and probably him complaining about the fact he had to leave Ferrari. I feel bad, he's my friend but I just... I don't know, I just sort of want to be on my own."

"You could just tell him that, instead of hiding from him." Lottie pointed out. "I don't think you're going to be able to hide from him all weekend, are you? And he's probably just worried about you. We all are."

"You don't need to worry about me." He mumbled. "I'll be fine."

"The minute you stop telling me you're fine every other sentence then maybe I'll start believing you." She rolled her eyes at him, not that he could see her.

"I don't think you can talk." He laughed.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you're just as bad as I am. Every other word out of your mouth is I'm fine, even though you're up in the middle of the night talking to me because you're in too much pain to sleep." He pointed out. "That hardly seems like something that someone who's absolutely fine would be doing."

"We aren't talking about me, we're talking about you." She tried to shake it off. "I am fine, it's a temporary thing, they're going to stick my leg back together properly this time and I'll be good as new."

"How do you stay so ridiculously positive about it? If that was me I'd..." he trailed off, because honestly he didn't know the answer. He had no idea what he'd do if he were in her shoes.

"I haven't really got a choice." She pointed out. "Just gotta keep going and try and trust it'll all work out for the best in the end. If not I'd probably end up actually driving myself mad."

It was the honest truth. She couldn't quite bring herself to tell him that actually, the only thing that was keeping her going was the slightly delusional hope she was going to come through this and beat all the odds to mean she'd get her life back the way it was. It didn't matter how many times the doctors tried to tell her it was never going to happen, she just ignored them in the hope that maybe they'd be wrong.

An insistent knocking on the door to Lando's drivers room stopped him before he could say anything else. "I have to go." He said quietly. "It must be time for the press conference if they've come looking for me."

"You can do it, you'll be fine." She reassured him, hearing the anxiety in his voice at even the thought of it. "I'll be right here watching on the tv, you can call me back straight after. I'll be awake."

"You need to get some sleep." He argued, and she could hear him shuffling around in the background as he got ready to go, the sound of the door being unlocked and him quietly telling someone he'd be two minutes.

"I haven't slept properly in months. One more night of broken sleep is not going to kill me." She joked. "You'll be doing me a favour really, providing me with something to watch."

"Do you think they'd notice if I didn't turn up?" Lando asked. "Or do you think maybe I can just ban every kind of question that's in anyway related to what went wrong last year?"

"You can try." She laughed. "You can do this though, I promise. I know it's easy for them all to say now that you could've and should've won, but remember this time last year it seemed absolutely ridiculous to anyone to even suggest that someone other than Max might win the championship. The fact that you gave him a bloody good run for his money and people actually thought you could win it is an achievement in itself. Don't you ever forget that."

"Maybe I should keep you on the phone and let you answer the questions for me." He joked. "You're very, very good at this."

"I know... but I haven't got that much of a filter. I'd be coming out with all kinds of things and you'd be doing so much community service you wouldn't even have time to race anymore, so I think it's probably best I just leave you to it. You'll be absolutely fine, I'm sure of it."

He was quiet for a long moment, as if he were carefully considering her words. "I've got to go, Lottie." He sighed, reaching the room the press conference was being held in. It looked like they were only waiting on him now before they could get started. "I'll call you back later."

"Yeah, okay." She agreed. "Good luck, Lando."

"Thanks." He sighed, hanging up the call. He shoved his phone back into his pocket and made his way to the front of the room to take his seat next to Max.

kid fic 👀

Thank you for your patience, anon! Posted below is the 'prologue' of the fic. My google doc for this one is 13k words and counting, so look out for a part one on ao3 (hopefully) really soon! -> WIP game

It’s a Saturday in Melbourne when Carlos is called to the track early for a meeting with his manager and the team’s legal department.

He doesn’t think much of it - maybe it’s about some merchandising opportunity, or a special race suit for Spain. Or maybe he said some comment in an interview yesterday that he shouldn’t have, though he can’t think of what that would’ve been off the top of his head. And anyway, if that were the case, then his press officer would be there. He supposes he might be, actually.

Carlos takes his time, stopping for his usual espresso and saying good morning to any team personnel who’ve arrived as early as he has. He’s feeling optimistic - the car felt good in free practice yesterday, so he’s hopeful they can have a good weekend.

When he finally makes it to the conference room, the head of the legal department’s there, along with his cousin and manager, Caco. What makes Carlos stop in his tracks though is the television screen at the end of the room. It’s displaying a zoom call containing what can only be a room full of Ferrari legal aides and lawyers, all sitting and facing the camera with silent, somber expressions.

His eyes meet Caco’s, who’s already looking at him with an apprehensive arch to his brow, like he thinks Carlos knows the reason for this meeting. In other words, his cousin doesn’t know the reason for this meeting.

A tense, nervous energy permeates the room.

“Carlos. Take a seat,” the chief legal officer, Sabina, says, all business.

Carlos takes a seat beside Caco with trepidation, clearing his throat of sudden nerves. “What is this about?”

“Lucía Ibarra. Does this name sound familiar?”

His jerk reaction is to say ‘no.’ But he pauses, the name scratching something at the back of his memory. Lucy...

“Uh...maybe. Yes, I think so,” he amends. He knew a ‘Lucy,’ short for Lucía, years ago, and he knew her last name once upon a time, too. But it’s been a while. That, though...it sounds like it could be right. “What about her?”

“Do you know this woman?”

“I did- I mean...years ago-”

“Lucía Ibarra, twenty-six years old, living in France and working as a journalist for a small, local publication.”

France?

When he’d met her, she was living in Madrid with dreams of becoming a writer, studying toward a degree in university. She’d had a double-focus in French and journalism, so he supposes it makes sense if that’s where she’d ended up. 

Carlos feels a tickle of pride for her, but it’s buried underneath his bewilderment, as Sabina continues to list off details of a girl’s life that Carlos hasn’t seen or heard from in four or so years. A girl who Carlos had thought he would just continue to wonder about from time-to-time, who’d changed her number after...whatever they were together, so that even if Carlos had wanted to call he couldn’t.

“Carlos.”

“Yes. Sorry.”

“So you did in fact know this woman? That certainly complicates things, but no matter what, we have a plan in place.”

“A...plan-?”

“We’ve contacted your lawyer, who will join our call soon, I expect.”

Carlos meets eyes with Caco, who feels his gaze and returns it with equal dread.

“What...” He clears his throat. “What has happened to her?”

“There’s been an accident,” Sabina says, and his heart sinks. An accident? But it still doesn’t make any sense. What does this have to do with him? “We don’t have all the details. But we’re organizing a flight for you to France-”

“A flight? What- when?”

“Right after the race.”

“But- this is impossible,” Carlos insists, almost feeling like laughing, but sensing it’s the wrong time. He’s just so, completely lost by everything going on. “I cannot fly to France after the race. Japan is in two weeks.”

His race preparation will go to shit if he flies to Europe. The jetlag alone will fuck up his entire system and concentration. Not to mention the fact that he still has no fucking clue why he needs to go to France for a woman he kind of knew years ago, who he hasn’t spoken to since she told him to ‘figure out your shit’ in a hotel room in Barcelona.

He’s sorry to hear about her accident, of course. Does this mean she’s...dead? Shit. But he can’t drop everything to...attend a funeral, or whatever’s going on. And the team should know that. How do they even know about her?

“Carlos, this is non-negotiable. Now, we recognize the sensitivity of the situation, so we’ve decided you should stay for the race. But we don’t want you talking to any news outlets or making any statements.”

Statements about what, he wants to ask. But Sabina beats him to it.

“Lucía Ibarra had a child, Carlos - three years old. And apparently, she’s yours.”

Top Tips for Choosing the Best Car Spray Painter in Melbourne

When it comes to restoring your car’s appearance or giving it a fresh, customised look, selecting the right car spray painter is crucial. Melbourne offers numerous options, but not all spray painters provide the same level of quality, expertise, or service. A professional car spray painter can transform your vehicle, enhancing its value and aesthetic appeal, while a poor-quality job can leave you dissatisfied and out of pocket. To ensure your car gets the best treatment, here are some top tips for choosing the best car spray painter in Melbourne.

Check Their Experience and Expertise

Experience matters when it comes to car spray painting. Look for a spray painter with years of industry experience and a proven track record of delivering high-quality results. Experienced professionals are more likely to have refined techniques, a deep understanding of paint applications, and the ability to handle complex jobs.

When researching a spray painter, don’t hesitate to ask about their background and expertise. Have they worked on vehicles similar to yours? Do they specialise in certain types of paint jobs, such as metallic finishes or custom designs? A skilled and knowledgeable spray painter can meet your specific needs and ensure a flawless finish.

Inspect Their Portfolio

A picture speaks a thousand words, and a reputable car spray painter should have a portfolio showcasing their previous work. Ask to see before-and-after photos of projects they have completed. This will give you a clear idea of their capabilities and the quality of their work.

https://mppg.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/h3-rev-img3.webp

Pay close attention to the paint’s consistency, colour matching, and overall finish in their portfolio. A professional spray painter will deliver a smooth, even coat without visible flaws such as streaks or bubbles. If their portfolio impresses you, it’s a good indication that they can handle your project with the same level of skill and attention to detail.

Read Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Customer reviews are an invaluable resource for assessing a spray painter’s reputation. Online platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook often feature reviews from previous clients. Look for feedback that highlights professionalism, quality of work, adherence to timelines, and customer service.

While reading reviews, keep an eye out for consistent positive comments as well as any recurring complaints. A highly rated car spray painter in Melbourne with satisfied customers is more likely to meet your expectations. You can also ask the spray painter for references or testimonials from past clients.

Evaluate Their Workshop and Equipment

The workshop environment and tools used by a spray painter can significantly impact the final result. A professional car spray painter will have a clean, well-organised workshop equipped with advanced spray painting tools and technology. Modern spray booths, for example, help control dust and contaminants, ensuring a high-quality finish.

When visiting the workshop, check for:

Proper ventilation systems to prevent dust particles from settling on wet paint.

Advanced colour-matching technology to achieve precise results.

High-quality paint products and materials.

A professional setup demonstrates a commitment to quality and attention to detail.

Ask About Their Paint Products

The type of paint used is a critical factor in determining the durability and appearance of your car’s finish. Reputable spray painters use high-quality automotive paints from trusted brands. These paints not only provide a better finish but also offer long-lasting protection against the elements.

Discuss your options with the spray painter, including:

Paint types: Acrylic, enamel, or urethane.

Finish options: Matte, glossy, metallic, or pearlescent.

Durability: Resistance to fading, chipping, and weather damage.

A knowledgeable spray painter will guide you in selecting the best paint type and finish for your vehicle.

Consider Customisation Options

If you’re looking for a unique look for your car, find a spray painter who specialises in customisation. Custom paint jobs can include personalised colours, designs, or patterns that make your vehicle stand out. A skilled spray painter will work with you to bring your vision to life, whether it’s a sleek two-tone finish, intricate artwork, or a racing-inspired design.

Customisation requires a high level of skill and creativity, so ensure the spray painter has experience in delivering custom projects. Ask to see examples of their custom work to assess their capabilities.

Check Their Warranty and Guarantees

A professional car spray painter stands by the quality of their work and offers warranties or guarantees to back it up. This demonstrates their confidence in their craftsmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction. A warranty can provide peace of mind, ensuring that any issues, such as peeling or fading, will be addressed promptly and without additional cost.

When discussing warranties, clarify the terms and conditions, including:

Coverage period.

Types of issues covered.

Steps for making a claim.

Compare Quotes and Value for Money

While cost shouldn’t be the sole determining factor, it’s essential to compare quotes from different spray painters to ensure you’re getting value for money. Avoid the temptation to go with the cheapest option, as it may result in subpar work or the use of low-quality materials.

A reputable spray painter will provide a detailed quote outlining the costs for labour, materials, and any additional services. This transparency helps you understand what you’re paying for and ensures there are no hidden charges.

Ask About Timelines

Time is often a crucial factor, especially if you rely on your car for daily activities. Discuss the expected timeline for completing the spray painting job and ensure it aligns with your schedule. While quality work takes time, a professional spray painter will provide a realistic timeline and stick to it.

Trust Your Instincts

Lastly, trust your instincts when choosing a car spray painter. Pay attention to their communication, professionalism, and willingness to answer your questions. A spray painter who listens to your needs and provides clear, honest advice is more likely to deliver a satisfactory result.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the best car spray painter in Melbourne requires careful consideration and research. By evaluating their experience, portfolio, customer reviews, and workshop setup, you can ensure your vehicle is in capable hands. Prioritise quality over cost and look for a spray painter who values customer satisfaction and delivers exceptional results.

Your car is an investment, and its appearance plays a significant role in its value and appeal. With the right spray painter, you can achieve a stunning finish that enhances your car’s look and leaves a lasting impression. Take the time to choose wisely, and enjoy the transformation of your vehicle.

How To Choose The Right Paint Correction Specialist For You?

Maintaining your vehicle's appearance is essential for aesthetic appeal and long-term value. Paint correction is a crucial process that helps restore your car's finish, eliminating imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. 

However, selecting the right paint correction specialist can be daunting, given the multitude of options available. In this guide, we will outline the key considerations to help you make an informed decision when seeking Melbourne paint correction services.

Understanding Paint Correction

Paint correction refers to a meticulous procedure designed to enhance the surface of a vehicle’s paintwork. This process typically involves machine polishing to remove imperfections and restore a high-gloss finish. 

It is important to understand that not all Melbourne paint correction services are equivalent; the quality of workmanship and products used can vary significantly. Therefore, evaluating potential specialists based on the following criteria is essential.

1. Evaluate Experience and Expertise

When selecting a Melbourne paint correction specialist, consider their level of experience and expertise in the field. Look for a professional with a solid track record, preferably with years of hands-on experience. 

A reputable specialist should be able to provide a portfolio of their previous work, including before-and-after images that showcase their capabilities. Inquire about their training and certifications, as these can be indicators of their proficiency and commitment to excellence.

2. Assess Techniques and Products Used

The techniques and products employed by a paint correction specialist are critical to achieving optimal results. Inquire about the specific methods they utilise for paint correction and the types of products they apply. 

A skilled professional should be able to articulate their process and explain the benefits of the products used. Choosing a specialist who uses high-quality, industry-standard materials that are safe for your vehicle is advisable. 

Additionally, offering complementary services such as ceramic coatings or detailing can demonstrate their commitment to providing comprehensive care.

3. Research Reviews and Testimonials

In today’s digital landscape, online reviews and testimonials serve as valuable resources for assessing the reputation of a paint correction specialist. Research feedback on platforms such as Google, Facebook, and automotive forums. 

Pay attention to patterns in customer experiences, focusing on aspects such as service quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction. If multiple reviews highlight similar strengths or weaknesses, this information can be instrumental in guiding your decision.

4. Inquire About Warranty and Guarantees

A reliable Melbourne paint correction specialist should stand behind their work with a solid warranty or guarantee. Inquire about the terms of any warranty offered and what it covers. 

A comprehensive warranty reflects the specialist’s confidence in their craftsmanship and provides peace of mind for clients. This assurance is particularly important if issues arise after the service is completed.

5. Compare Quotes and Services

After narrowing down your options, obtain quotes from several specialists. While cost is important, it should not be the sole determining factor. Carefully review what each quote includes and assess the value provided. 

A reputable specialist will be transparent about their pricing and the specific services they offer. Sometimes, opting for a higher-priced service may yield better long-term results, making it a worthwhile investment in your vehicle’s appearance.

6. Schedule a Consultation

Finally, consider scheduling a consultation with your top choices. Meeting the specialist in person lets you directly evaluate their professionalism and expertise.
