What is paint correction?

Paint correction is the process of machine-polishing your paint to permanently remove surface defects - swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, oxidation and haze - rather than hiding them.

Using progressively finer compounds and polishes, we level the clear coat to restore clarity and a deep, wet gloss. It's the ideal prep before a ceramic coating.

Because defects are physically removed, results are permanent until new swirls are introduced by poor washing - which is why we recommend a ceramic coating afterward.

Ideally yes. Correction gives flawless paint; a coating locks it in and protects it. Done together, the coating bonds to perfect paint for the best result.

A 1-step is usually a day; a full 2 or 3-step correction can take one to two days depending on size and condition.
