Levels of Paint Correction

Level 1

Level 1 paint correction

Level 1 aka “paint enhancement.” It fixes minor clear coat imperfections that you usually can’t see, all in one step.

Level 2

level 2 paint correction

Level 2 is for new and newer vehicles that have swirls and light scratches. It removes 80-90% of the defects and restores depth and clarity to the paint.

Level 3

Level 4 paint correction

Level 3 is for cars with swirls, moderate scratches, scuffs, light oxidation, and water spots that haven’t gone through the clear coat. It aims for 80-90% improvement, bringing back the original depth and clarity.

Level 4

stage 4 paint correction

Level 4 might include wet-sanding. It’s the most intense paint correction and should only be done by a trained professional. It risks burning through the clear coat, which would need a new paint job to fix.
