🔧 What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat using machine polishing and professional-grade compounds. Depending on the level of correction needed, we offer both single-step enhancement and multi-step correction to reduce or eliminate:

  • Swirl marks and micro-scratches

  • Oxidation and hazing

  • Water spots and etching

  • Surface dullness and inconsistent shine

  • If your paint looks dull, shows spider web-like swirl marks, has visible scratches, or feels rough to the touch, it may benefit from paint correction. Vehicles that have been improperly washed, left outside without protection, or haven’t been detailed in a while are common candidates.

  • Paint correction can safely remove most surface-level imperfections, including swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and etching. However, deep scratches that go beyond the clear coat cannot be fully removed without repainting — though they can often be minimized.
