Swirl marks, wash-induced scratches, water spots and oxidation can leave your paint looking dull, hazy and tired—especially under direct sunlight or shop lighting. Paint correction safely refines the clear coat to reduce these defects and restore the clarity, depth and gloss your vehicle should have.
CORRECT
Reduce swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and other visible paint defects.
REFINE
Machine polish the finish to restore clarity, depth and reflectivity.
RESTORE
Bring back the deep gloss and crisp finish that makes your paint stand out.
Paint correction is the process of carefully machine polishing your vehicle’s clear coat to reduce or remove visible imperfections. Rather than temporarily hiding defects with waxes or fillers, we refine the paint itself to restore clarity, depth and a more reflective finish.
✓ Swirl marks and wash-induced marring
✓ Light scratches and surface defects
✓ Water spots and mineral deposits
✓ Oxidation, haze and dullness
✓ Loss of clarity, depth and gloss
Every vehicle is different. We inspect the paint first to determine its condition, measure what can safely be corrected and recommend the appropriate level of correction based on your goals.
Great results start with proper preparation. We thoroughly wash and decontaminate the paint before inspecting the finish and determining the appropriate correction process. The paint is then carefully machine polished to reduce defects and restore clarity, depth and gloss while preserving the integrity of the clear coat.
Every vehicle’s paint is different. We’ll inspect the finish and recommend the appropriate level of correction based on its condition and the results you want to achieve.
