Bring The Shine Back.
Multi-stage compound and polish to remove swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Restore showroom-deep clarity to faded or hazy paint.
Restore What's Already There.
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from your clear coat — swirls, light scratches, water spots, oxidation — by carefully compounding and polishing the surface. The paint that's under the haze is still good. We bring it back.
This is the work that turns "tired" paint into "showroom" paint. It's also the right prep before any ceramic coating — coating over damaged paint just locks the damage in.

What Correction Actually Fixes.
Knowing what's correctable saves money on the wrong service.
Swirl Marks
The web of fine circular scratches you see in direct sunlight — caused by drive-through washes, improper drying, and dirty wash mitts. Highly correctable.
Light Oxidation
Paint that looks dull or hazy from sun damage. The pigment is still there — we polish off the oxidized clear coat layer to reveal it.
Surface Water Spots
Mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water that haven't etched fully into the paint. Correctable with 1-Step. Deeper etches may need 2-Step.
