What is A Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of restoring your vehicle’s paint by removing swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other surface imperfections. Using professional machine polishing techniques, the paint is refined to restore clarity, depth, and gloss—bringing your vehicle’s finish back to a clean, like-new appearance. When paired with a ceramic coating, the corrected paint is locked in and protected for long-lasting shine and durability.
Why a paint Correction?
Restores Gloss & Clarity
Refines the clear coat to bring back deep gloss, sharp reflections, and a smooth, like-new appearance.
Removes Paint Defects
Safely eliminates most swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and other surface imperfections that dull your vehicle’s finish.
Prepares Paint for Ceramic Coating
Creates a clean, corrected surface that allows ceramic coatings to properly bond and perform at their best.
Maintain With EasE
A smoother, corrected surface resists dirt buildup and allows for easier washing, especially when paired with a ceramic coating for added protection.
Available Corrections
1-Stage Paint Enhancement
A single-stage polish focused on enhancing gloss and improving overall appearance while reducing very minor imperfections. This service is perfect for vehicles with light wash marks or dullness that don’t require aggressive correction.
What to expect?
• Noticeably improved gloss and clarity
• Reduction of very light swirl marks
• A refreshed, cleaner-looking finish
This option is commonly chosen by clients looking for visual improvement without extensive correction and pairs well with entry-level ceramic coatings.
1-Step Paint Correction

What to expect?
• Major reduction in swirl marks and light scratches
• Sharper reflections and deeper gloss
• A dramatic improvement in overall paint condition
This is the most commonly recommended option for vehicles that see regular use and serves as an excellent foundation for ceramic coating.
Multi-Step Paint Correction
A comprehensive, multi-stage correction process that targets deeper scratches, heavy swirl marks, oxidation, and more severe paint imperfections. Each stage refines the paint further, achieving the highest possible level of clarity and finish.
What to expect?
• Removal of deep defects and heavy oxidation
• Maximum gloss, depth, and paint clarity
