What it is

Why a clean car can still look tired

Every tunnel wash, every dusty towel wipe, every summer in the sun leaves fine scratches in the clear coat. They scatter light. That's why a freshly washed car can still look flat in the sun. Correction levels them out with a machine polisher, panel by panel, so light bounces straight again.

1-step is a single polishing pass. It clears light swirls and haze and brings most of the gloss back. Right for newer or well-kept paint. About half a day.

2-step is a cutting pass for the heavy swirls, scratches and oxidation, then a refining polish. As close to flawless as the paint will go. A full day.

Not sure which? Text us a photo of the paint in direct sun. We'll tell you which one, and we'll tell you if it doesn't need it.

How we do it

How we keep your paint safe

01

Measure first

We check the clear coat thickness with a gauge before any cutting. Thin spots get flagged, not polished through.

02

Tape and light

Edges and trim taped, panels lit from a low angle so we can see every defect we're removing.

03

Protect after

Freshly corrected paint is bare. We seal it, or coat it if you booked the combo, so the swirls don't come back in a month.

Questions

Paint correction questions

If yours isn't here, text us. We answer fast.

Will the swirls come back?

The ones we remove are gone for good. New ones come from bad washing: automatic brush washes, dirty towels. Wash it right or let us, and put a coating on it, and it stays.

Can you do it at my house?

Yes. Shade or a garage is best so we can see the paint properly and the polish doesn't dry out. We'll confirm the setup when you book.

How long does it take?

1-step is usually 3 to 5 hours. 2-step is a full day, sometimes more on a big SUV or badly oxidized paint. We confirm timing when we lock in your day.

Is this the same as a coating?

No. Correction removes what's already in the paint. A coating protects it going forward. Best result is both, in that order, which is the Correction + coating tab above.

What does it cost?

Pick your car's size on the pricing above. 1-step from $400, 2-step from $700. That's the number for your size, and it doesn't go up without your OK.
