The Process

How It Works

Our paint correction process, step by step. No guesswork — just professional results.

Wash & clay

Paint is thoroughly cleaned and clayed to remove bonded contamination.

Paint assessment

We use a paint depth gauge and LED lighting to assess defect severity.

Compound stage

A cutting compound removes deep scratches and heavy oxidation.

Polish stage

A finer polish refines the surface and removes any compound haze.

Protect

A wax, sealant, or ceramic coating is applied to protect the corrected paint.

Questions

Paint Correction FAQ

Common questions about this service, answered honestly.

A single-stage correction uses one polish pass and is ideal for lightly swirled paint. A two-stage uses a cutting compound followed by a finer polish — it removes deeper defects and produces a higher level of gloss. We assess your paint and recommend the right level.

Paint correction removes surface-level defects in the clear coat. Deep scratches that penetrate to the base coat or primer cannot be corrected by polishing — those require paint touch-up or respray. We'll let you know what to expect before we start.
