What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction and polishing is the process of removing surface imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and hard water spots from your vehicle's paint. This is achieved through machine polishing which restores clarity, color depth, and gloss.
Our Paint Correction Services:
- 1-Step Paint Polishing - Removes light oxidation, enhances gloss and removes minor swirl marks. Perfect for newer vehicles or as prep for ceramic coatings.
- 2-Step Paint Correction - A more thorough polishing process that removes more defects for a more refined finish.
- Paint Enhancement (All-In-One Polish & Protect) - A one-step polish and protection service that boosts gloss and reduces the appearance of light imperfections. This process enhances the paint's appearance and applies a paint sealant that adds protection lasting 4-6 months. This is an enhancement service, not full paint correction.

Things to Avoid
- Automatic Car Washes – Spinning brushes and harsh chemicals will scratch and dull the paint. Even brand new cars come with scratches due to automatic car washes.
- Dirty Wash Mitts & Towels – Using contaminated towels or mitts can grind dirt into the paint.
- Improper Drying Methods – Avoid using chamois, bath towels, or letting the car air dry, as they can leave scratches or water spots. Always use a microfiber drying towel or blower.
- Rubbing Dust Off with a Dry Towel – Always use a quick detailer and microfiber towel to prevent scratching. A detail spray adds lubrication and with more lubrication the less likely we are to induce scratching.
- Parking Under Trees – Sap, bird droppings, and pollen can damage the paint if left uncleaned. Tree sap, bird poop and bugs if left on the paint for too long and they can bake themselves into the surface making it much harder to remove. All of these things are acidic and will eat away at the clear coat.
- Snow Brushes - Using a brush to push off all the snow from your car definitely important. But there are other ways to do so without scratching up your paint. Using that stiff bristled brush is definitely going to mess up your paint.
How to Prevent Scratches & Swirls
- Never Use the Brush at a Self-Wash Car Wash - Always perform a touchless wash or bring your own wash buckets. The brush broom at your local car wash might be great for removing dirt but the dirt from previously washed vehicles is still in those bristles and can cause new scratches in your paint and your wheels.
- Use the Two-Bucket Wash Method with a Microfiber Mitt – One bucket for clean soapy water, one for rinsing dirt off your mitt. Never use old rags or rough sponges.
- Dry with a High-Quality Microfiber Drying Towel – Or use a touchless air blower to eliminate water spots.
- Apply a Paint Sealant or Wax Every 2–3 Months – Adds a protective layer to reduce scratches.
- Use a Quick Detailer for Light Cleaning – Safely removes dust and fingerprints between washes.
- Snow Removal - Using a push broom that has a foam or rubber side to it can help minimize scratching. A leaf blower can also be a great way of removing snow from your car. When the snow is thick and heavy it might not work too well, but it's a great way to remove light or fluffy snow without having to touch the car at all.
