Quick answer
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is the process of machine polishing your vehicle's clear coat to level out defects — swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots and haze — so light reflects evenly again. The result is sharper reflections, deeper color and a true showroom gloss. It's also the essential prep step before ceramic coating or PPF.

FAQ
Paint correction questions, answered
What is paint correction?
It's machine polishing of your clear coat to remove swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and water spots, restoring clarity and gloss.
Can paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes defects within the clear coat. Scratches that catch a fingernail or reach the base coat usually can't be fully polished out and may need touch-up or paintwork.
Should I get paint correction before ceramic coating?
Yes — a coating locks in whatever is underneath. That's why every one of our ceramic coating packages includes a single stage polish.
How long does paint correction take?
A single stage polish typically takes one day. Multi-stage correction on heavily swirled paint can take two to three days.
How much does paint correction cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, paint hardness and condition. Call 210-201-2578 for an exact quote.
