Swirl Removal
Multi-Stage Refinement
Restored Clarity

Paint correction is the controlled machine-polishing process used to reduce swirl marks, wash-induced marring, oxidation, holograms, light scratches and other defects that prevent the finish from displaying its full depth and clarity.

Every vehicle begins with a careful inspection followed by a proper wash and decontamination process. Each panel is then refined using professional polishing equipment, compounds and techniques selected for the condition of the paint and the desired outcome. Fresh polishing pads and clean microfiber towels are used for every vehicle to prevent cross-contamination and maintain consistent results.

Services range from a one-step paint enhancement for light imperfections to a two-stage correction for moderate defects and a comprehensive three-stage correction for heavily marred, collector or show-level finishes. Wet sanding and targeted defect removal are available by consultation when the paint system and project allow.
