Paint Correction

Paint correction isn't polishing. It's controlled removal of clear coat to level scratches and swirls. Done wrong, you burn through. Done right, your paint looks better than it did from the dealership — because the dealership skipped this step.

Process

How we
actually do it.

01

Inspect

Paint thickness gauge + 6500K inspection lights map every panel. We mark defects on a body diagram so you can see what we're working with.

02

Plan

Single-, two-, or three-stage correction quote based on damage and paint health. You approve before we run a single pad.

03

Cut & refine

Wool, microfiber, foam — pad sequencing tuned to your specific paint. We refine until the surface reads flat under inspection light at every angle.

04

Protect

Add a sealant, ceramic coating, or PPF on top. We strongly recommend coating after correction — otherwise the next swirl undoes the work.

FAQ

Asked &
answered.

  • Can you remove deep scratches? +

    Depends on depth. If a scratch hasn't broken through the clear coat, we can level it. If it has, we can soften the edge but not erase it — that's a paint job, not a polish.

  • How much clear coat do you remove? +

    1–3 microns per stage. Modern factory clear is 40–60 microns. We measure before, during, and after to make sure we never exceed safe limits.

  • Should I correct or coat first? +

    Always correct first. A ceramic coating locks in whatever's underneath — swirls included. Correct, then coat.
