If your car’s paint looks dull, scratched, or covered in swirl marks — even after a wash — it might be time for paint correction. This professional detailing service brings your paint back to life by removing surface imperfections and restoring that deep, mirror-like shine.

Let’s break down what paint correction is, how it works, and why it matters.

 What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a professional polishing process that removes imperfections from the clear coat of your vehicle’s paint. These imperfections include:

• Swirl marks

• Light scratches

• Water spots

• Oxidation and dullness

• Holograms or buffer trails from improper polishing

Over time, even careful washing and weather exposure can leave your paint looking tired or damaged. Paint correction carefully smooths the surface to restore clarity, depth, and gloss — often making your car look better than new.

 What Causes Paint Imperfections?

Paint flaws happen more easily than you might think. Common causes include:

• Automatic car washes (they often create micro-scratches)

• Improper washing or drying with rough towels

• UV exposure and weather damage

• Road debris, salt, and fallout

• Previous bad polishing or detailing

Even brand-new cars can have imperfections straight from the dealership due to improper prep or transport handling.

 How Does Paint Correction Work?

Paint correction is not just "waxing" or polishing with an off-the-shelf product — it's a step-by-step, highly skilled process that uses professional tools, lighting, and polishing compounds to carefully remove defects without damaging the paint.

Our Process Typically Includes:

1. Wash & Decontamination
   We start with a full foam wash, iron remover, and clay bar treatment to remove all surface contaminants.

2. Paint Inspection
   Using paint depth gauges and specialized lighting, we assess the true condition of your clear coat.

3. Machine Polishing (1-step, 2-step, or multi-step)
   Depending on the severity of defects, we perform precise machine polishing to level the surface and restore gloss.

4. Final Wipe Down
   The paint is cleaned of all polishing oils to reveal the true finish — no fillers or waxes to hide defects.

5. Optional Ceramic Coating or Sealant
   Once corrected, we highly recommend applying a ceramic coating to lock in the results and protect the paint long-term.

 1-Step vs. Multi-Step Paint Correction

• 1-Step Correction: Best for vehicles with light swirls and minor haze. A great option for maintenance or prepping for coating on newer cars.

• 2-Step or Multi-Step Correction: Needed for deeper scratches, heavy oxidation, or neglected paint. It involves cutting and refining stages to restore maximum clarity.

We'll always recommend the right level of correction based on your car’s needs.

 Why Paint Correction Matters

Paint correction is not just about looks — it also:

• Increases resale and trade-in value

• Prepares the surface for ceramic coatings

• Extends the life of your vehicle’s paint

• Restores pride in your ride — especially for enthusiasts and collectors
