WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Paint correction is a meticulous and transformative process designed to enhance the appearance of your vehicle's paintwork by addressing imperfections. Over time your clear coat layer collects swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidations, and water spots that make your paint look dull, hazy, or faded even after normal washing.

How It Works

Operating through a comprehensive yet simple system encompassing stages 1 through 3. Using the right polisher, compounds, and polishing pad combination, the result is a smooth, optically clear surface that reflects light the way it did (or should have...) when the car was new.

Vehicles 1–3 years old. Light swirls from washing, minor surface haze.

Stage
MEDIUM CORRECTION
$700

A two-step procedure uses a stronger cutting compound and tool/pad combo to first break down imbedded scratches and more aggressive swirl patterns, followed by a finishing polish to perfect the surface to a high-gloss finish. This stage is the primary recommendation for cars that seek that shine without going over budget, even though not every scratch may be removed.

✓ Best For

Vehicles 3–8 years old, cars that have been through automatic car washes, or paint showing visible swirling and moderate scratches in most lighting conditions.

Stage
HEAVY CORRECTION
$950

The most intensive correction level available (other than wet sanding). It requires multiple tools, pads, compounds, and passes, all executed with panel-by-panel precision. This level demands more than just a basic understanding of paint correction; it also requires knowing the paint thickness (in mils or microns) of each vehicle so you can determine exactly how much clear coat can be safely removed without risking burn-through the vehicle paint. This service is reserved for vehicles with severe paint damage such as deep scratches, heavy oxidation, or sanding marks or for owners who demand the closest possible result to a factory-fresh finish. No shortcuts are taken.

✓ Best For

Neglected vehicles, heavy oxidation, deep scratches, paint that looks chalky or severely faded, and anyone who wants a showroom-level result before ceramic coating.
