How We Do It
Our comprehensive paint correction process involves several meticulous steps to ensure the best results:
Step 1: Vehicle Inspection
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your vehicle’s paint to identify imperfections and tailor the correction process to your car’s needs
Step 2: Wash and Decontamination
We perform a detailed wash and use clay bar treatments to remove surface contaminants, tar, and embedded particles.
Step 3: Paint Assessment and Taping
Once clean, we carefully assess the paint’s condition and tape off areas like trim and badges to protect them during the process.
Step 4: Machine Polishing
Using state-of-the-art polishers and compounds, we safely remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation. This step restores clarity and depth to the paint.
Step 5: Final Polish and Inspection
After correcting imperfections, we finish with a light polish to maximize gloss. Every inch of your car is inspected to ensure perfection.
Step 6: Optional Ceramic Coating
For lasting protection, we recommend following paint correction with our advanced ceramic coating services.
Levels of Paint Correction
Level 1
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 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 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 (Wet sand, buff, cut, polish)
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.

FAQ's for Paint Correction
How long does it take?
The time depends on the vehicle’s condition and the level of correction needed. Most corrections take 4- 8 hours, but advanced treatments may require more than one day.
Will this remove all scratches?
Paint correction can remove light to moderate scratches. Deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat may require additional services like touch-up paint.
Should I get paint correction before applying a ceramic coating?
Yes, paint correction ensures your vehicle’s surface is flawless, allowing the ceramic coating to bond perfectly and last longer.
How often should I get paint correction?
This depends on how you care for your car and its exposure to environmental factors. We prefer to do a paint correction once and then protect it with our self-healing ceramic coating.
Since the clear coat is only 30 microns thick (about half the thickness of a human hair) more than 2 paint corrections are not recommended.
Restore your car’s paint and protect it for years to come.
