Achieve a Flawless Finish: Expert Paint Correction
Is your car’s paint plagued by unsightly swirl marks, light scratches, and a dull, faded appearance? Our professional paint correction service is the art of restoring your vehicle's paint to a condition that is often better than new. We permanently remove imperfections to create a truly flawless, mirror-like finish.
What is Paint Correction & Why Do You Need It?
The Journey from Passion to Profession
Every time your car is washed improperly, wiped with a dry towel, or exposed to the elements, microscopic scratches can be created in the clear coat. These defects act like a spiderweb, catching light and making the paint look dull. Paint correction is the meticulous process of using specialized machines, compounds, and polishes to carefully level that clear coat, permanently removing the imperfections and restoring true gloss and clarity.
Our Methodical Approach to Perfection
Paint correction is a delicate craft that requires skill and precision. We follow a strict, safety-oriented process to ensure phenomenal results without compromising your vehicle's paint.
Thorough Wash & Decontamination
The process begins with our full exterior detail wash and a thorough chemical and clay bar decontamination. This ensures the surface is perfectly clean and free of any grit that could interfere with polishing.
Paint Assessment & Measurement
We carefully inspect the paint under specialized lighting to identify all defects. We then use a paint depth gauge to measure the clear coat thickness on each panel, ensuring we can perform the correction safely.
Compounding (The Correction Stage)
This is the heavy-lifting phase. Using a machine polisher and a carefully selected cutting compound, we work panel-by-panel to level the clear coat, removing deeper swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches.
Polishing (The Refining Stage)
After correcting the defects, we follow up with a finer polish and a softer pad. This step removes any haze from the compounding stage and refines the finish to maximize gloss, depth, and clarity.
Surface Prep & Wipe-Down
The vehicle is wiped down with a special panel prep spray to remove all polishing oils. This reveals the true, corrected finish and ensures the surface is perfectly sterile for a protective coating.
One-Step Polish vs. Two-Step Correction
One-Step Polish (Enhancement)
Ideal for newer vehicles with very light defects. This single-stage process uses a fine polish to significantly enhance gloss and clarity, removing ~50-70% of light swirls.
Two-Step Correction (Restoration)
Our most popular option for a dramatic transformation. This involves a dedicated compounding stage and a separate polishing stage to remove ~80-95% of all defects, delivering a near-perfect finish.
