Paint Correction

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.

What it addresses

Swirl marks & light scratches

Machine polishing removes the fine marring that dulls a paint finish over time.

Oxidation & haze

Restores clarity and depth to paint that's lost its shine from sun and weather exposure.

Wash marks

Correction can reduce the fine scratching left behind by improper washing over time.

Standalone or pre-coating prep

Paint correction can be performed on its own or as prep before ceramic coating.

Questions

Should I get paint correction 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.

Can paint correction remove deep scratches?

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.
