What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections in your car’s paint, like swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches, and water spots. Using machine polishers, cutting compounds, and polishing pads, professionals restore your vehicle’s finish to a high-gloss, mirror-like condition.
Why It’s More Than Just a Polish
While a basic polish adds temporary shine, paint correction permanently eliminates defects. This is especially critical before applying a ceramic coating—which locks in whatever’s underneath.
The Top Benefits of Paint Correction:
- Restores clarity and color depth
- Removes swirl marks and light scratches
- Prepares surface for optimal ceramic coating bonding
- Boosts resale value with showroom-level gloss
- Protects your investment long-term
When Is Paint Correction Needed?
- Your car has visible swirl marks or haze
- You’re prepping for a ceramic coating
- The paint looks dull or oxidized
- You want a flawless finish before a sale or show
