What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a professional detailing process that removes imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat, such as:
Swirl Marks
Light Scratches
Water Spots
Oxidation
Holograms & Buffer Trails
Unlike a simple wax or polish, paint correction uses precision polishing machines, advanced compounds, and trained expertise to permanently remove defects—not just hide them. The result? A deep, reflective shine that brings your paint back to life.
Why Get a Paint Correction?
Over time, your vehicle's paint takes a beating from Arizona sun, road debris, automated car washes, and improper washing techniques. These lead to visible wear like hazing, dullness, and swirl marks that make your paint look older than it is.
Here’s why a paint correction is a smart investment:
✅ Restore showroom shine – Removes years of damage and oxidation
✅ Boost resale value – A flawless finish attracts higher offers
✅ Prepare for ceramic coating – Paint correction is a required step before ceramic coating to ensure proper bonding and maximum gloss
✅ Permanent results – Unlike wax or glaze, true paint correction removes defects rather than hiding them
