What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a multi-stage polishing process that removes imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat, including:
✔ Swirl marks from improper washing
✔ Light to moderate scratches
✔ Oxidation and fading from UV exposure
✔ Hard water spots and etching
✔ Holograms from previous poor-quality polishing

 

Unlike simple wax or sealant applications, paint correction permanently eliminates defects, not just masks them—bringing out the true depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paint.

 

Who Needs Paint Correction?

Our professional paint correction services are perfect for:
🚗 Luxury & classic car owners who demand flawless finishes
🚘 Daily drivers looking to rejuvenate their vehicle’s appearance
🏎 Enthusiasts & collectors preparing for car shows or resale
🔧 Vehicle owners seeking to protect their investment before applying a ceramic or graphene coating

​

The Paint Correction Process

1️⃣ Thorough Hand Wash & Decontamination – We remove all dirt, grime, and embedded contaminants to create a clean surface for correction.
2️⃣ Paint Inspection & Assessment – Using specialized lighting, we identify imperfections and determine the best correction approach.
3️⃣ Machine Polishing & Compounding – High-quality polishing compounds and professional-grade tools remove scratches and swirl marks while enhancing the paint’s depth.
4️⃣ Refinement & Finishing Polish – A final polish restores clarity and maximizes gloss, leaving a mirror-like finish.

 

Paint Correction vs. Polishing – What’s the Difference?

✔ Paint Correction – Multi-step defect removal for a near perfect, swirl-free finish. Ideal for vehicles with moderate to severe paint imperfections.
✔ Polishing – Enhances gloss and removes minor defects. Perfect for maintaining an already well-kept vehicle.

 

Protect Your Paint After Correction

Once your paint is corrected and polished, the best way to preserve its flawless finish is by applying a ceramic or graphene coating. This adds long-term protection, making maintenance easier while keeping your vehicle looking stunning for years.
