Because we’re detailers, we could go on for days about this, but let’s keep it simple:

Paint correction is like erasing years of wear and tear from your car’s paint. It’s the process of removing swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and haze to restore that deep, mirror-like shine.

Think of it like buffing out scratches on your phone screen except on your whole car. A proper paint enhancement and/or paint correction makes your vehicle look years newer and is the most important step before ceramic coating or other paint protection.

What Is Paint Correction?

How Does Paint Correction Work?

We don’t just slap on a product and call it a day, true paint correction takes time, skill, and the right tools. Here’s our process:

  1. Deep Cleaning & Decontamination: We remove all dirt, tar, and embedded contaminants before polishing begins.

  2. Paint Inspection: Using specialized lighting, we identify swirl marks, scratches, and problem areas.

  3. Machine Polishing and Final Buffing: We use a multi-step process with cutting compounds and polishes to level out defects.We finish with ultra fine polishing to bring out a flawless gloss.

How Do You Know If You Need Paint Correction?

Run your hand over your car’s paint, does it feel rough?
Look at it under sunlight, do you see swirl marks, haze, or tiny scratches?

If the answer is yes, paint correction will bring back the shine and make your vehicle look years newer!

Why Does Paint Correction Matter?

Ever noticed how a brand-new car has that deep, wet, mirror-like shine? Over time, improper washing, road debris, and South Texas sun exposure take that away.

Without paint correction, your car’s surface will:

  • Look dull and faded

  • Have swirl marks and scratches from automatic car washes

  • Show oxidation and water spots that won’t wash off

After a proper paint correction, your vehicle will:

  • Look deeper, richer, and glossier than ever

  • Have better reflection & clarity

  • Be ready for ceramic coating or wax to lock in the results
