RESTORE THE GLOSS.
REFINE THE FINISH.
Professional paint correction designed to reduce swirl marks, light scratches, haze, and other paint defects while restoring clarity, depth, and gloss.
WHAT IS PAINT
CORRECTION?
Paint correction is the process of machine polishing your vehicle's clear coat to reduce visible defects and restore clarity, depth, and gloss.
SWIRL REDUCTION
Reduces the fine circular marks commonly caused by improper washing, drying, and automatic car washes.
SCRATCH REDUCTION
Light surface scratches can often be significantly reduced or removed when they remain within a safe level of the clear coat.
RESTORED CLARITY
Removes haze and dullness that interfere with reflections, allowing the paint to appear cleaner and more refined.
DEEPER GLOSS
Refining the clear coat improves how light reflects from the paint, creating greater depth, gloss, and visual clarity.
Deep scratches and severe defects may extend too far into the clear coat to safely eliminate. Our goal is maximum improvement while preserving the integrity of your vehicle's paint.
CHOOSE THE LEVEL
OF CORRECTION
The right level of correction depends on your paint condition and the result you're looking for. We'll inspect the vehicle and recommend the safest approach for the finish.
ONE-STEP CORRECTION
A single polishing stage designed to significantly improve gloss and reduce light to moderate swirl marks and paint defects.
Daily drivers with light to moderate defects that need a noticeable improvement without chasing every imperfection.
MULTI-STEP CORRECTION
A more intensive correction process using multiple polishing stages to target heavier defects and produce a significantly refined finish.
Vehicles with heavier swirl marks, scratches, haze, or neglected paint where a much higher level of correction is desired.
Paint thickness, defect depth, previous repairs, and overall condition all affect what can be safely corrected. We'll recommend the appropriate level after evaluating your vehicle.
THE DIFFERENCE IS
IN THE FINISH
Paint correction restores clarity, depth, and gloss by reducing the defects that prevent your vehicle's paint from looking its best.
DEEPER GLOSS
Refining the clear coat allows light to reflect more cleanly, creating greater depth and a richer finish.
IMPROVED CLARITY
Reducing haze, swirl marks, and surface defects creates cleaner reflections and a more refined overall appearance.
DEFECT REDUCTION
Correctable swirl marks, light scratches, and other imperfections are reduced to improve the appearance of the paint.
Final results depend on paint condition, defect depth, paint thickness, previous repairs, and the level of correction performed. Some defects may be too deep to safely remove.
WHAT DEFECTS CAN
BE IMPROVED?
Paint correction can dramatically improve many common imperfections, but not every defect can be safely removed. The goal is maximum improvement while preserving the integrity of your clear coat.
SWIRL MARKS
Fine circular scratches commonly caused by improper washing and drying techniques. These are one of the primary defects targeted during paint correction.
LIGHT SCRATCHES
Shallow scratches within the clear coat can often be significantly reduced or removed depending on their depth and the condition of the surrounding paint.
HAZE & DULLNESS
Fine surface defects can make paint appear cloudy, dull, or lifeless. Polishing restores clarity and allows the finish to reflect light more cleanly.
WATER SPOTS
Mineral deposits and light water spotting can often be improved. Heavily etched spots may require additional correction and may not be completely removable.
OXIDATION
Certain forms of oxidation and weathering can be improved through polishing, provided the paint and clear coat are still in suitable condition for correction.
DEEP SCRATCHES
Scratches that penetrate too deeply into or through the clear coat cannot always be safely removed. In these cases, improvement rather than complete removal is the responsible approach.
Removing a defect means removing a small amount of clear coat around it. If a scratch is too deep to safely correct, preserving your paint takes priority over attempting complete removal.
HOW PAINT CORRECTION
IS DONE
Proper paint correction is more than simply polishing the vehicle. Every step is designed to prepare, evaluate, refine, and protect the finish while preserving the integrity of your paint.
WASH & DECONTAMINATE
The exterior is thoroughly cleaned and chemically and mechanically decontaminated to remove bonded contaminants before any polishing begins.
INSPECT THE PAINT
We evaluate the condition of the finish, identify defects, and determine the appropriate correction approach for your vehicle.
COMPOUND & POLISH
The paint is machine polished using the appropriate combination of pads and abrasives to safely reduce swirl marks, scratches, haze, and other correctable defects.
INSPECT & REFINE
Corrected areas are inspected for clarity and finish quality. Additional refinement is performed where necessary based on the correction package and condition of the paint.
PROTECT THE FINISH
Once correction is complete, the paint is cleaned and protected to preserve the freshly refined finish. Ceramic coating upgrades are also available for longer-term protection.
PAIR YOUR CORRECTION WITH A CERAMIC COATING
Ceramic coating provides longer-lasting protection, hydrophobic performance, and easier maintenance after your paint has been corrected.
