What Paint Correction Covers

Paint correction is not a coating or a product applied over defects. It is a controlled removal process. We use a machine polisher with the appropriate compound and pad combination to cut into the clear coat just enough to level the surface and eliminate the scratches and swirls in that layer.

Single-Stage and Multi-Stage Correction

A single-stage correction addresses moderate swirling and light scratches using one compound and pad combination. A multi-stage correction goes further, using an aggressive cutting compound to remove deeper defects, followed by a polishing stage to refine the surface.

We assess the paint condition and paint thickness before recommending which approach is right for your vehicle.

Clear Coat Preservation

We measure paint thickness before we start and work within safe tolerances to avoid cutting through the clear coat. Preserving the clear coat is what makes the correction last. We do not cut corners here.

The Paint Correction Process

Paint Inspection and Thickness Check

Before compounding begins, we inspect the paint under a light source and measure paint thickness at multiple points across the vehicle. This determines how much material can be safely removed and which correction approach is appropriate.

Compounding to Remove Surface Defects

The compounding stage uses an abrasive compound to cut through the scratch layer in the clear coat. This removes the defects rather than filling or masking them. Pass count and pressure are controlled throughout.

Polish to Refine the Clear Coat

After compounding, a polishing stage refines the surface and removes any haze or micro-marring left by the compound. This brings out the reflective quality of the paint.

Final Inspection in Natural Light

We inspect the finished paint in natural or daylight-balanced light before the job is complete. Any remaining imperfections visible in sunlight that may not be noticeable under standard lighting are addressed before we pack up.
