Restore Your Vehicle’s Shine with Paint Correction

Daily driving exposes your vehicle’s paint to:

• Improper washing

• UV damage

• Dust and environmental contaminants

• Road debris

Over time, these factors create swirl marks and surface defects that reduce gloss and reflection. Paint correction safely removes these imperfections to restore your vehicle’s appearance and prepare it for long-term protection.

This is a precision process, not a quick service.

What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a multi-step machine polishing process designed to level the clear coat and remove visible defects rather than hiding them.

Depending on the vehicle’s condition and your goals, paint correction can remove approximately 65%–90%+ of visible imperfections, dramatically improving gloss, clarity, and reflection.

Because this process permanently alters the paint surface, it requires proper tools, experience, and careful technique.

Paint Correction Levels

Level I — Paint Enhancement

Ideal for newer vehicles or vehicles with light swirl marks and minor imperfections.

Best for:

• Improving gloss and clarity

• Reducing light swirls

• Enhancing overall appearance

Level II — Paint Correction

Designed for vehicles with heavier swirl marks, oxidation, and deeper paint defects.

Best for:

• Removing stubborn scratches

• Correcting dull or neglected paint

• Achieving maximum visual improvement

Results depend on paint condition, thickness, and realistic expectations.

Paint Correction vs Wax

Wax

• Temporarily hides light defects

• Does not remove scratches

• Lasts weeks

Paint Correction

• Permanently removes defects

• Restores true clarity and gloss

• Creates a proper foundation for protection

Wax improves appearance briefly. Paint correction changes the paint itself.

Why Paint Correction Requires Maintenance

Paint correction is an investment in your vehicle’s finish. Without proper care, swirl marks can return quickly, sometimes in just a few improper washes.

To maintain results:

• Paint must be washed and dried correctly

• Improper wash methods should be avoided

• Ongoing care is essential

This is why many clients transition into maintenance detailing after paint correction to protect their results long-term.

Pairing Paint Correction with Ceramic Coating

Paint correction is commonly performed before ceramic coating to ensure the coating bonds properly to a clean, defect-free surface.

This combination:

• Locks in corrected results

• Provides long-term protection

• Makes maintenance easier

Paint Correction FAQ

What’s the difference between wax and paint correction?

Wax temporarily masks very light imperfections and does not remove scratches. Paint correction permanently removes swirl marks and defects by refining the clear coat, which is why results are significantly better and longer-lasting.

How long do paint correction results last?

Paint correction results can last years with proper care. However, improper washing and drying can reintroduce swirl marks quickly. Consistent maintenance is key to preserving results.

Is paint correction permanent?

The correction itself is permanent, but the paint can be damaged again if not properly maintained. Correct washing methods and ongoing care help protect your investment.
