Common Questions

Paint Correction FAQ

What is paint correction?

Paint correction uses machine polishing to level clear coat defects like swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches. The goal is gloss, clarity, and a more uniform finish.

How do I know which correction stage I need?

We inspect your paint under proper lighting and recommend a one-, two-, or three-step process based on defect severity, paint hardness, and the result you want.

Is paint correction required before ceramic coating?

Paint ceramic coating packages include a one-step correction because coating locks in the finish underneath. Deeper defects may need additional correction before coating.

Can you fix deep scratches?

Light to moderate defects are addressed through staged polishing. Deep scratches may need targeted wet sanding and spot repair, quoted per job after inspection.

How long do results last?

Correction restores the paint itself. Longevity depends on washing habits, storage, and whether you add ceramic coating or other protection afterward.
