Paint Correction

Restore deep gloss and clarity to your vehicle

Paint correction is the professional process of removing swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches from your vehicle's clear coat to restore deep gloss and clarity. This service is ideal for vehicles that have dull paint, noticeable swirls, or imperfections that cannot be fixed with a normal detail.

Paint correction typically takes a full day to ensure the vehicle is done properly. Ceramic coating is not required, but it is highly recommended after paint correction to protect the finish long-term and preserve the results.
