What this service actually does

Swirl marks are thousands of shallow scratches in the clear coat, usually put there by automatic car washes and dirty towels. They scatter light, which is why paint looks dull and hazy in direct sun. Paint correction machine-polishes those defects out with graduated compounds and pads, measured against paint depth so we never remove more clear coat than necessary. The result under sunlight is a mirror instead of a haze. We finish with protection so the corrected finish stays that way.

Paint Correction — questions we get

Will paint correction remove every scratch?

Anything within the clear coat, yes. Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail have gone through the clear and need paint work, and we tell you that honestly up front.

Is polishing safe for my clear coat?

Done correctly, yes. We measure paint thickness, run a test spot, and use the least aggressive combination that fully corrects the defects.

Should I get a ceramic coating afterward?

It is the ideal time. Coating freshly corrected paint locks the gloss in and keeps future washing from reintroducing swirls.
