WHAT DOES PAINT CORRECTION DO?
Paint correction is a meticulous process that removes imperfections from a vehicle’s clear coat, such as swirl marks, oxidation, water spots, and fine scratches. These blemishes often dull the paint and reduce its ability to reflect light, making the car appear aged or poorly maintained.
Using advanced polishing tools and high-quality compounds, skilled technicians level out the paint surface to restore clarity, depth, and gloss. The goal is to refine the finish without compromising the integrity of the paint. Proper paint correction requires expert technique and attention to detail to avoid over-polishing or uneven results.
Once corrected, the vehicle’s surface looks dramatically improved, often better than new. Paint correction not only enhances appearance but also prepares the surface for long-lasting protection like ceramic coatings or paint protection film. It’s an essential step in restoring the visual quality of a vehicle’s exterior.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does a full paint correction take?
A full paint correction typically takes between four to six hours, depending on the vehicle’s size, paint condition, and the level of correction needed. Heavily damaged or neglected paintwork may require more time for optimal results.
Is paint correction covered by insurance?
Most insurance policies do not cover paint correction, as it is considered a cosmetic or maintenance service. However, if paint damage results from a covered incident, correction may be included as part of the repair process. Always check with your provider.
Can I do paint correction myself?
While DIY kits exist, paint correction is best left to trained professionals. Improper technique or product use can damage the clear coat and worsen the finish. Professional tools, lighting, and experience are essential for safe and effective correction.
Does paint correction remove the clear coat?
Paint correction removes a very thin layer of the clear coat to level imperfections like swirl marks or scratches. When performed correctly, it safely restores gloss without compromising protection. Excessive correction or poor technique can damage the clear coat.
