PAINT CORRECTION SERVICES
WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?
Paint correction or “Polishing” is the process of leveling & removing swirl marks, scratches, and surface imperfections on the top layer of your paint’s finish. These imperfections dull, oxidize or haze the surface by reflecting light off in various directions, therefore detracting from a true and proper, clean, sharp, reflection.
The actual corrective process comprises of a small amount of clear coat being removed from the surface with a polishing machine and the use of abrasive polishes. Polishes range from heavier cutting compounds to finer products, which are applied and worked in with appropriate polishing machines, and polishing pads to level out the surface and refine the finish.
Examples of Surface Imperfections:
- Oxidation
- Buffer Trailes
- Light Scratches
- Hard Water Spots
- Bird Dropping Stains
- Improper Washing Techniques
Some scratches or imperfections may be too deep or severe to safely remove without risking removing too much surface paint or clear coat. Therefore, using techniques with the machine polisher and polish products will round off edges of the scratches minimizing and making them far less apparent.

Our Maintenance Correction adds shine and protection. This option is best suited for newer vehicles or vehicles with lighter color paint. This correction will remove most swirls but will not correct any light scratches. The goal of this process is to restore the vehicle’s shine to like-new. This process uses our dual compound/polish and is suitable for clients that want a slight upgrade from their vehicles current paint condition. Most detailers will advertise a polish with their details but the quick polish they provide typically does not meet the client’s standards. Therefore, our process takes a minimum of 4 hours to complete to ensure customer satisfaction. A Ceramic Coating is recommended with this service.
Our Enhancement Correction is the difference maker when restoring your vehicles paint to better-than-new. This is most suitable for clients with vehicles over 4 years or vehicles with a dark colored paint. We start with a heavy compound to remove all swirls and most light scratches on the paints surface. We then follow up with a polish to remove any additional swirls and really bring out the natural shine of the paint. This process takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete. We highly recommend a Ceramic Coating to lock in that finish to enjoy for years to come.
Our Multi-Step Correction is our top-of-the-line correction and meant for the true car enthusiast, or clients with highly neglected vehicles. This is meant for somebody looking to get the absolute best result possible. We start with a heavy compound to remove all swirls and most light scratches on the paints surface. We then examine the remaining large defects and either re-compound or wet sand depending on severity of the defect. If we determine wet sanding is needed the affected area is then re-compounded and the entire car is then polished to perfection. Our goal of this is to remove as little clear coat as possible while still maintaining near-perfect results. This process takes a minimum of 12 hours to complete. We strongly recommend a Ceramic Coating to protect the vehicles finish for years to come.
