What we do

Paint correction, done right

From light swirl removal to a full multi-stage correction, we polish in careful passes until the clear coat is even and glassy, then help you protect the result with ceramic coating or PPF.

Swirl mark removal

The fine, spider-web scratching that builds up from washing and daily driving, polished out to restore a clear, deep reflection.

Scratch & oxidation removal

Light scratches and dull, oxidized clear coat leveled with machine polishing to bring back true color and gloss.

Multi-stage machine polishing

We work in stages, from cutting to fine finishing polish, checking gloss and clarity under proper lighting at every step.

Ceramic coating & PPF aftercare

Once your paint is corrected, a ceramic coating or paint protection film keeps it looking new and adds a layer of protection.

A finish our customers say looks better than new

Swirl marks and light scratches build up on every car over time, from automatic car washes, dust, and daily use. Paint correction levels the clear coat with machine polishing, so the gloss and clarity come back, sometimes better than the day the car was new.

FAQ

Paint correction questions, answered

What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process that levels your clear coat to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and dull oxidation, restoring a clear, glossy finish.
Will paint correction remove deep scratches?
Paint correction removes swirl marks and light-to-moderate scratches that sit in the clear coat. Deeper scratches that reach the base color coat may improve significantly, but may not fully disappear. We give you an honest assessment before we start.
Should I add ceramic coating or PPF after paint correction?
Yes, it's a smart pairing. Once the paint is corrected, a ceramic coating or paint protection film helps keep that fresh, polished finish looking new and adds a layer of protection going forward.
Is paint correction the same as a wash and wax?
No. A wash and wax cleans and adds temporary shine to the surface. Paint correction uses machine polishing to actually level the clear coat and remove the imperfections underneath that shine.
