What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the art of restoring your vehicle’s paint by removing surface imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Unlike waxing, it doesn’t hide flaws—it permanently eliminates them, revealing a deep, mirror-like shine.

Our 6-Step Paint Correction Process:

Deep Clean & Decontamination

We begin with a foam wash, iron remover, and clay bar to eliminate all dirt and embedded contaminants.

Paint Analysis

Using inspection lights and paint depth gauges, we assess the condition of your clear coat.

Compounding (if necessary)

For deeper imperfections, we use a cutting compound to level the paint and remove defects.

Polishing

A refining polish restores clarity and depth for that showroom finish.

Panel Wipe

We wipe down each panel with an alcohol-based solution to reveal true results—not just polished oils.

Paint Protection (Recommended)

We finish with a high-end wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to lock in the results and protect your investment.

Levels of Correction Available:

1-Step Correction: Light polishing to remove minor swirls and boost gloss

2-Step Correction: Cutting + polish for deeper scratches and more noticeable results

Multi-Step Correction: For heavily damaged paint or show car perfection
