Service overview
Paint Correction
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process used to improve eligible swirl marks, haze, oxidation and light clear-coat defects. The paint is first cleaned and inspected so the polishing approach can be matched to the condition and the level of improvement being requested.
Not every scratch can be safely removed. Deep defects that extend beyond the correctable paint layer may remain, so the goal is controlled improvement rather than aggressive polishing. Protection can be added after correction to help preserve the refined finish.

Questions
Paint Correction FAQ
Helpful details before scheduling this service.
No. Deep scratches that penetrate too far into the finish may remain. The goal is safe improvement rather than removing excessive paint.
That depends on the paint and desired result. A visual inspection helps determine whether a one-step enhancement or more involved correction is appropriate.
Yes. Paint correction is often completed before ceramic coating when the owner wants to improve the finish before locking in protection.
Polishing is the process used to refine paint, while paint correction describes a more deliberate defect-removal approach based on the vehicle’s condition and the desired level of improvement.
If the owner wants swirl marks or haze improved, correction is generally considered before coating because a coating preserves and highlights the appearance of the prepared paint beneath it.
