Paint correction is a machine-polishing process designed to improve the appearance and clarity of automotive paint. It can significantly reduce swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, haze and wash marks.
Machine polishing removes the fine marring that dulls a paint finish over time.
Restores clarity and depth to paint that's lost its shine from sun and weather exposure.
Correction can reduce the fine scratching left behind by improper washing over time.
Paint correction can be performed on its own or as prep before ceramic coating.
It's often recommended depending on the condition of your paint — ceramic coating locks in whatever condition the paint is in, so correcting swirls and haze first gives a better long-term result.
Correction works best on surface-level marring like swirls and light scratches. Deeper scratches that catch a fingernail usually need touch-up paint rather than polishing.
