Paint Correction
Restore your paints shine by removing the imperfections
Remove The Swirls and Get The Most Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
Our paint correction service is aimed to remove around 80% of the swirls, scratches, and imperfections from your paint. This is where we do an intense cutting and polishing step, called a 2-step correction, to get the most gloss and clarity from your paintwork.
Depending on your condition, whether the vehicle is new or not, some scratches won’t come all the way. It could be the scratches are too deep to remove safely or the clear coat itself is thinning out (we’ll take paint measurements before we start).
This is where we’ll make the proper judgement call on what we can safely remove off your paint. It’s not just about removing as many imperfections. It’s also knowing when enough is enough to keep the integrity of the paint healthy and within good working boundaries.
And yes, for newer vehicles, even just 4 months off the lot, the paint can still require a 2-step correction service. Although you’ve only had the vehicle for a few months, the car has been transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places).
It’s during this time that the car is moved, washed, transported, washed, stored, etc… It’s no surprise that vehicles, regardless of make and model, leave the showroom with heavy amount of swirls and imperfections.
The paint correction is a commitment you’re making to the vehicle. If you’d like to keep the shine on your paint, you have to properly maintain the vehicle after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle, you can easily put all those swirls and scratches back into your paint in just a few washes.
If you’re selling your vehicle and want to prep the paint for potential buyers, our polishing or Wash and Wax is also a great option. For the ultimate form of protection, we also offer Paint Protection Film or color changing wraps.

FAQs
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
Absolutely! We offer ceramic coatings that give great protection and really gloss up your vehicle. You can also stay with the more traditional wax or sealant at no additional price.
How long do the results last?
This is a “it depends” kind of answer. After the paint is polished, it comes down to how well you maintain the vehicle afterwards. If you take it through a $5 car wash, you can easily get back to square one in a matter of weeks.
If you properly wash and dry your vehicle, the results will stay for a much longer than compared to if you use a dirty towel and water to wash your vehicle.
What’s the difference between your Paint Polishing vs Paint Correction?
Paint polishing will remove 60 to 80% of the imperfections in your paint.
Paint correction removes around 90% of the imperfections in your paint.
For most vehicles, Paint Polishing will be just fine. For those that really want the most results, Paint Correction is your option.
What tools and products do you use?
A wide arrange of machines, pads, polishes, compounds, cleaners, towels, and lights will be used to work on your car. Every car will be different and will yield different methods and tools.
What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?
A wax does not remove any swirls or scratches from your paint. It only hides the very light swirls and can be completed in a few hours. Paint correction actually removes the swirls in your paint. This is what makes the paint shine like crazy. It also takes a substantial amount of time and energy to complete. Usually one or two full days (depending on size, condition, and desired results).
