Frequently Asked Questions
Paint correction is the process of using machine polishers and abrasives to permanently remove defects like swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and water spots from your clear coat — restoring a smooth, glossy, reflective finish.
A one-step enhancement removes lighter defects and boosts gloss in a single polishing stage. Multi-step correction uses compounding plus refining stages to remove deeper, more severe defects for a near-flawless finish.
Correction removes defects within the clear coat. Scratches you can catch with a fingernail may be too deep to fully remove safely, but we can often greatly reduce their appearance.
Yes — it is the ideal time. Correction makes the paint flawless, and a ceramic coating locks in and protects that finish for years.
Depending on severity and the number of stages, correction can take from several hours to multiple days. We provide a timeline after inspecting your paint.
