Paint Correction
Machine polishing that removes swirl marks, oxidation and light scratches — restoring depth and clarity the finish has lost to sun and washing.
What's included
- Paint assessment before any work starts
- Machine polishing matched to your paint and its condition
- Oxidation removal
- A clear, honest read on what correction can and cannot fix
Who it's for
Sun-faded or swirled paint, darker colors that show every mark, and any vehicle being prepared for ceramic coating.
Why it's worth it
- Removes the swirl haze that dulls the finish
- Brings back depth and reflection in the paint
- The right preparation step before ceramic coating
- Extends the life of an original finish

What affects the price
Every vehicle is different, so we quote each job individually. Pricing mainly depends on:
- Paint condition and how deep the defects are
- Vehicle size
- Level of correction — single-stage or multi-stage
The process
- Inspect the paint. We evaluate swirls, oxidation, haze, scratches, and the overall condition of the clear coat.
- Set the correction goal. We'll explain what can be improved safely and recommend the appropriate correction level.
- Correct and refine. The paint is cleaned, decontaminated, polished, and refined using the process appropriate for its condition.
- Protect the finish. We'll review protection and maintenance options that help preserve the corrected appearance.
Common questions
Can you remove every scratch?
No shop can honestly promise that. Correction removes defects in the clear coat; anything deeper needs paint work. We tell you which is which before we start.
Should I coat the paint afterward?
Corrected paint is the ideal base for a ceramic coating, which protects the result — we can quote both together.
