Paint Correction
Restore your paint
to its true potential.
Swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation rob your paint of its depth and clarity. Professional paint correction removes these defects at the microscopic level — revealing a finish that often looks better than new.
What We Fix
Common paint defects we remove.
Important to Know
Paint correction works on defects within the clear coat. Deep scratches that reach bare metal or primer cannot be corrected through polishing and require body shop work.
We always perform a paint inspection before quoting. We'll tell you honestly what we can correct and what may require additional work elsewhere.
The Process
How paint correction works.
Paint Inspection
We assess your paint under lighting to identify all defects, measure paint thickness, and determine the appropriate correction level.
Decontamination Wash
A thorough wash removes all surface contamination before any polishing begins. A clean surface is essential for accurate correction.
Machine Polishing
Using professional dual-action or rotary polishers with appropriate compounds and pads, we methodically work through each panel.
Final Inspection & Protection
We inspect every panel under lighting. Once satisfied, we apply a sealant or ceramic coating to lock in your corrected finish.
FAQ
Paint correction questions.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a multi-step machine polishing process that removes a microscopic layer of your clear coat to level the surface and eliminate defects — swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation — revealing the true depth and gloss of your paint.
Will it remove all scratches?
Paint correction is effective on defects within the clear coat. Scratches that penetrate through to the base coat or primer require touch-up paint or panel respray — paint correction alone cannot fix those.
How long does paint correction take?
Depending on the severity of defects and the size of the vehicle, paint correction can take anywhere from 4 to 12+ hours. We assess the vehicle first and give you a time and price estimate.
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?
Absolutely — paint correction and ceramic coating are the perfect pair. Correction removes the defects, and ceramic sealant locks in that glossy finish and protects it for the long term. It's the ultimate paint treatment.
