Paint Correction

Paint correction is the methodical process of machine polishing a vehicle's paintwork to remove surface defects such as swirl marks, scratches, buffer trail holograms, water spot etchings, oxidation and general haziness. These collections of undesirable imperfections greatly reduce characteristics such as clarity, depth, gloss and color. 

Restore the sharp gloss and deep reflections back to your car's paint or refine the appearance to a higher level with our paint correction and polishing services. Completed with passion, precision and the desire to deliver a striking finish that you will be proud of to own.

A light machine polishing process to remove very fine defects, surface haze, and potential marring of the paintwork from clay bar treatment. Swirl marks and light scratches are improved upon but not fully removed. This level of polishing is ideal to boost gloss on new vehicles prior to ceramic coating application or a great way to refresh your car if actual paint correction results are not desired.

The advanced paint correction service includes everything from the 2-step correction plus wet-sanding of scratches and imperfections that polishing alone will not remove. Texture removal is available upon request. 

Each vehicle is completed with an individual approach based on the current condition of the paintwork and the desired final results of the owner. The goal is to deliver a final finish that meets or exceeds your expectations while maintaining our high standards. Please call to discuss your options or schedule an in-person evaluation of your vehicle. 

Swirl marks are microscopic scratches in your vehicle's clear coat caused mostly by improper washing methods (tunnel washes) and wipe-downs of dirt and dust. Any particle that is harder than the clear coat will cause marring when dragged across the surface no matter how small it is. These imperfections begin to build up over time which causes a dull finish and quite the eyesore in direct sunlight, especially on darker colored vehicles.
