What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat using machine polishing.

Over time, your paint develops defects such as:

  • Swirl marks from improper washing

  • Light scratches

  • Oxidation and fading

  • Water spots and etching

  • Holograms from poor polishing

These imperfections reflect light unevenly, making your paint look dull instead of glossy.

Paint correction works by carefully leveling the clear coat to remove or reduce these defects, revealing a smoother, more reflective finish underneath.
