Paint correction is not a quick buff. It is a precision process that permanently removes defects from your clear coat - swirl marks, wash scratches, water spots, bird etching, and oxidation. What is left is a surface so flat and clean that light reflects without distortion.
We use a combination of dual-action and rotary polishers with carefully selected compound and polish pads matched to your paint type and hardness. Each panel is inspected under LED work lights that reveal defects invisible in normal lighting. The goal is maximum defect removal with minimum clear coat removal.
This service is essential before applying ceramic coating, and it is the fastest way to restore neglected or damaged paint to a condition that looks better than the day it left the factory. If your paint looks dull, hazy, or covered in fine spider-web scratches - this is what fixes it.
A comprehensive service, step by step.
Full exterior inspected under LED correction lights. Every swirl, scratch, and defect mapped before we begin.
Clay bar treatment removes bonded contaminants so the polisher works on paint - not embedded debris.
Heavy-cut compound removes deep scratches and severe swirls. Aggressive correction for neglected paint.
Finishing polish refines the surface to a mirror-like clarity. Removes compounding haze and micro-marring.
Each body panel corrected individually under inspection lights. No shortcuts, no missed spots.
Final sealant locks in the corrected finish and provides UV protection. Optional ceramic coating upgrade available.
No hidden fees. Price quoted before we start.
Actual vehicles we have detailed. No stock photos.
A standard polish is a single light pass that enhances gloss. Paint correction is a multi-stage, measured process that permanently removes defects using compound, polish, and inspection lighting. It is far more thorough.
When done properly, no. We use the least aggressive method that achieves the desired result and measure clear coat thickness before starting. The amount of material removed is microscopic.
Paint correction results are permanent - the defects are physically removed. However, new scratches can develop from improper washing. We recommend ceramic coating or sealant to protect the corrected finish.
Strongly recommended. Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath - including swirls and scratches. Correcting the paint first ensures the coating seals a flawless surface.
