Restore the depth, remove the damage, reveal the gloss.
Professional paint correction for swirls, scratches, oxidation, and more.
Your paint shouldn't just shine, it should look flawless. Swirls, haze, oxidation, and scratches can dull even a new vehicle. Our paint correction and enhancement services revive and refine your finish, using professional-grade tools and techniques, including wet sanding for deeper restoration.
Paint correction is the process of permanently removing defects in the clear coat using machine polishing and, when necessary, advanced techniques like wet sanding.
⚠️ Important: This is not a wax, glaze, or filler, it's true paint refinement. We remove defects, not hide them.
Paint enhancement is a single-stage polish designed to improve overall gloss and clarity. It removes light haze and micro-marring but doesn't chase deeper defects.
Wet sanding is a highly skilled, precision process used to level more severe imperfections that polishing alone can't correct.
We use ultra-fine abrasives and finishing techniques to safely level the clear coat and then polish it back to a mirror finish. It's typically reserved for high-end restoration work or vehicles going to show.
🔧 Note: Only experienced professionals should attempt wet sanding. At our shop, it's done under controlled lighting with constant depth monitoring to protect your paint.
Here's exactly what your vehicle will undergo during any correction or enhancement service:
We begin with a pH-balanced foam bath, hand wash, iron remover, and clay bar to remove all bonded contaminants.
We evaluate your paint under high-lumen, color-corrected lights to identify swirls, defects, and measure clear coat thickness. This allows us to create a safe and effective correction plan.
Depending on your vehicle's condition and goals, we perform:
1. Paint Enhancement: Single-stage polish to brighten and boost gloss
2. Multi-Step Correction: Cutting & polishing to permanently remove defects
3. Wet Sanding (Advanced): Used only when necessary for heavy defects
Each level is performed with top-tier compounds, pads, and polishers designed for precision and paint safety.
We use a dedicated solvent to remove all polishing oils and reveal the true finish. No fillers, no surprises.
We begin with a foam bath and hand wash using pH-neutral soap. Iron removers and clay bars eliminate all surface contaminants to prepare your paint for perfection.

If you answer yes to any of these, paint correction is for you:
A single-stage enhancement usually takes 5–8 hours. Multi-stage corrections for heavy swirling or scratch removal can take 1–2 full days. We require a physical inspection to provide a firm timeline.
While we aim for 85–95% defect removal in multi-stage jobs, some scratches may be too deep to safely remove without compromising the clear coat. We prioritize the long-term integrity of your paint over "perfection."
Compounding is the "heavy lifting" phase that uses abrasive grit to level deep defects. Polishing is the refining phase that removes the hazing left by compounding, resulting in a mirror-like, high-gloss finish.
While not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Paint correction leaves your clear coat "naked" and vulnerable. Applying a ceramic coating or high-quality sealant locks in the results and protects the leveled surface from UV damage.
Yes! This is called "Single Stage" paint, common on vintage vehicles. When we polish these, our pads will actually turn the color of the car (e.g., a red pad for a red car). It is a very satisfying process that can bring a 40-year-old finish back to a showroom glow, provided there is enough paint thickness left.
Let us bring back the depth and clarity your paint deserves.
