Paint correction is the process process utilizing micro abrasives (compounds and polishes) to permanently remove scratches, swirls, wash marring, sanding marks, water spots, or other defects from a vehicle's surface. It restores gloss and clarity, often making the paint look better than when it was in the showroom.

This is the detailing process that I enjoy the most: taking a dull, scratched, and hazy surface and bringing it back to a level that is better than the customer ever thought possible and is better than new.

Every vehicle's paint is different, so extensive testing will go into finding the best combination of polish, pad, and technique to achieve the best results safely.

Paint correction is a painstaking process, taking hours or days, depending on the level of defects, vehicle, and desired result. But it is the only way to permanently restore the painted surfaces and make them look new again.

Above are several before and afters and 50/50 pictures from a black Camaro that received an intensive multi-stage correction. The majority of the defects were from poor hand washing and drying techniques. The soft black paint was left looking better than new after paint correction.
Single Stage Paint Correction
Single Stage Paint Correction
As the name suggests, this service includes a single stage of machine polishing to remove light defects such as wash marring or light scratches, bringing out great gloss and clarity. This is a service that will greatly improve the surface, but there may be deeper scratches that won't come out.

Paint types, hardnesses, and existing defects vary, but many times this will restore the paint to a better-than-new finish (vehicles are often scratched and swirled from the dealership if washed or compounded improperly). This is great for new vehicles, lightly scratched or marred finishes, or as a way to restore gloss and clarity to the finish.

A paint protectant in the form of a hand-applied sealant is applied to protect the service, with the option to upgrade to a ceramic coating for longer term protection.

These are photos from a well used F-150 that came in for a multi-stage paint correction. The difference in clarity, gloss, and saturation was really insane on this metallic green paintwork. In the before, you can see wash swirls, improper buffing marks (rotary swirls), and deeper scratches. After compounding and polishing those marks are removed leaving a glossy finish with much more clarity and reflection.
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
When you go from a single step polish to a multi-stage paint correction, the vehicle's finish takes on a whole new level of gloss, clarity, and overall refinement. This service adds in a heavier compounding stage before refining the finish to remove almost all existing defects, water spots, and haziness. All but the deepest of scratches will be removed. More clear coat is removed, but the result is almost always worth it.
