A Mirror Gloss, Restored

Paint correction levels the clear coat itself, so the swirls, fine scratches and haze that a wash can't touch are removed rather than hidden. It's done by machine, one level at a time, until the reflections are crisp again.

Every level starts with a full exterior detail and finishes with a 6-month sealant, or, if you're coating, a panel wipe so the coating bonds directly. Deeper levels are quoted after we've seen the paint.

Paint Correction FAQ

How long does each level take?

Typically 3 to 10 hours depending on level, vehicle size, and paint condition.

Will it remove every scratch?

It removes most swirls and light-to-moderate scratches. Deep cuts through clear coat may remain visible.

Is a Level 1, 2 or 3 correction okay before a ceramic coating?

Yes. When you’re coating, we skip the sealant step and finish with a panel wipe so the coating bonds directly.

How do I keep the finish looking great?

Use proper wash technique and consider a ceramic coating or monthly maintenance to preserve gloss.
