About the Service

What is paint correction?

Paint correction is a professional polishing process used to remove defects from a vehicle’s clear coat — bringing back the depth, gloss, and clarity that years of wear have dulled.

Common paint defects include swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and etching from bird droppings or sap.

Unlike a polish or wax that hides imperfections temporarily, correction permanently removes them by leveling a microscopic layer of clear coat.

Why It Matters

Why owners choose paint correction

A genuine restoration of the finish — not a cover-up.

01

Remove swirls and scratches

Correct imperfections caused by improper washing, automated car washes, or environmental damage.

02

Restore gloss

Paint correction restores the depth and clarity your paint had when it left the factory — or better.

03

Perfect surface for protection

Correction creates the ideal surface for ceramic coatings or PPF to bond to.

04

Maintain resale value

A flawless finish reads as a well-kept vehicle — and buyers notice.

FAQ

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Is paint correction permanent?

Yes. Correction physically removes defects from the clear coat — they do not come back. Future defects can be prevented with ceramic coating or PPF.

How long does paint correction take?

An enhancement polish takes a day. A one-step correction typically runs 1–2 days. A multi-step correction can take 2–4 days depending on vehicle size and condition.

Will correction thin my paint?

Correction removes a microscopic layer of clear coat. When performed with paint depth measurements, it is completely safe and can be done more than once over a vehicle’s life.

Do I need correction before ceramic coating?

For best results, yes. Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath — including swirls and scratches — so correction should be done first.

Can correction remove every scratch?

Deep scratches that have cut through the clear coat cannot be polished out. We’ll inspect and tell you upfront what can and can’t be corrected.
