Paint correction is the multi-stage process of permanently removing imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat — swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, oxidation, and the dull haze that builds up from improper washing and daily exposure.
It’s not a wax, a polish, or a “quick shine” service. It’s the controlled removal of a thin layer of clear coat using professional-grade compounds, polishes, and paint-safe machine polishers — done in stages, refined panel by panel, and finished under direct lighting until every defect is gone.
The result: your paint reflects light the way it did the day the vehicle rolled off the factory line. Deeper color, sharper reflections, and a glossier finish that no aftermarket wax or sealant can replicate.
The fine circular scratches you see in direct sunlight, caused by automatic washes, dirty towels, and wrong wash technique. The most common defect we correct.
Surface scratches from daily driving, dealership prep, and brushes against objects. If the scratch hasn’t gone through the clear coat, paint correction removes it.
Acidic damage from bird droppings, tree sap, and bug splatter that’s etched into the clear coat. We can typically restore the surface as long as the damage hasn’t reached the base coat.
These certifications aren’t on our wall because we paid for them. They’re here because we earned them — and we maintain them with every single install.
One of fewer than 100 accredited Ultra Dealers in the entire United States. Authorized to install Crystal Serum Ultra — the only consumer ceramic backed by a 9-year manufacturer warranty.
Flagship dealer of LLumar’s most advanced film lineup. Formula One films block heat other tints can’t touch — while delivering the clarity and longevity that justify the investment.
Being an authorized 3M dealer means we install the real thing — Scotchgard Pro Series film, fit to spec on every panel we wrap. It’s the protection serious owners ask for by name.
As an authorized Vossen dealer, we source genuine sets and fit them to your vehicle exactly — so the wheels turning heads are matched as carefully as the paint we protect.
Carrying Pure PPF means we install film built for one job — taking the hits your paint shouldn’t. Authorized, applied right, and chosen because it earns its place on the car.
Five stages. No skipped phases. The reason your paint stays corrected.
Consultation
A foam pre-wash followed by a paint-safe hand wash. Iron remover dissolves bonded brake dust. Clay bar pulls embedded contaminants out of the clear coat. The surface is now mechanically and chemically clean.
Prep & Decontamination
We inspect every panel under halogen and LED lighting to identify every defect — swirls, scratches, holograms, water spots. Paint thickness is measured to confirm the correction stage your vehicle can safely support.
Paint Correction
Trim, plastics, and sensitive areas are masked to prevent staining or product overspray. A test spot is corrected first to confirm the right compound and polish combination for your specific paint.
Install & Handoff
Panel by panel, the correction is performed in the stages your paint requires — wet sanding (if applicable), compounding, then polishing. Each pass refines the surface until the defects are gone and the finish is glass-smooth.
Install & Handoff
Final walk-around under direct lighting. Any remaining defect is addressed before the vehicle leaves. A protective sealant is applied to lock in the finish — and if you’re moving on to ceramic coating, this is the surface it gets installed onto.
We don’t write our own reviews. Our clients do — and they tell the story better than we ever could.
Often, yes. Even brand-new cars can leave the factory with light swirl marks, dealership wash marring, or transit defects. A single-stage correction before a ceramic coating install is one of the most common things we do for new vehicle owners.
A single-stage correction is usually a same-day service. A two-stage correction typically takes one to two days. A three-stage correction with wet sanding can take several days depending on vehicle size and the depth of defects. We’ll give you an exact timeline at quote.
Not when done correctly. Every correction starts with a paint thickness measurement, and we only remove the minimum amount of clear coat needed. The risk only exists when shops use too-aggressive compounds, skip measurements, or attempt correction on paint that’s already too thin.
A vehicle can typically be fully corrected a few times over its lifetime, depending on the original clear coat thickness and how much was removed each time. We document paint thickness so you and any future shop know exactly what’s safe.
Yes. A ceramic coating locks in whatever surface it’s applied to. If your paint has swirls or scratches when the coating goes on, those defects are locked in for the life of the coating. That’s why we always recommend correction first, coating second.
