Permanently remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation
Most paint does not need to be replaced — it needs to be refinished. Swirl marks, wash marks, etching, and holograms live in the top few microns of your clear coat. Paint correction levels that layer under controlled conditions, removing the defect instead of hiding it behind glaze or filler that disappears at the first wash.
Typical time in studio: 1–3 days depending on condition and paint hardness
What's Included
How It's Done
Knowing what you are paying for is part of the service. Here is exactly what happens to your vehicle and why each stage exists.
Before quoting, we measure clear coat depth across the vehicle with an electronic gauge. Panels that have been repainted or previously over-polished are identified and flagged — this is what separates safe correction from irreversible damage.
Correction on contaminated paint drags embedded particles across the surface. Every vehicle receives a full chemical and mechanical decontamination first, without exception.
We establish the least aggressive pad and compound combination that fully corrects a test area. Your paint dictates the process — not a standard package.
Panel by panel, sectioned and worked to completion, then wiped and inspected before moving on. Nothing is signed off under shop lighting alone.
A finishing polish restores gloss and removes any haze left by the cutting stage. The corrected finish is then sealed — coating strongly recommended, because unprotected corrected paint begins accumulating new defects immediately.
Pricing
We publish starting prices because you deserve to know whether we are in your range before you spend time on a call. Final pricing depends on your vehicle's actual condition.
| Vehicle Size | Examples | Starting At |
|---|---|---|
| Coupe / Sedan | Corvette, 3-Series, Camry, Charger | $850 |
| Midsize SUV / Truck | Grand Cherokee, F-150, 4Runner, RX | $1,050 |
| Full-Size / 3-Row / Lifted | Escalade, Tahoe, F-250, Wagoneer | $1,300 |
Two-stage correction, starting price. Severely neglected or single-stage paint is quoted after inspection. Three-stage and wet-sanding work is quoted individually.
Is This Right For You?
Questions
Maintenance detailing is same-day. Paint enhancement is typically one day. Two-stage correction runs one to three days. A full protection package with coating is three to six days, because coatings need uninterrupted cure time before the vehicle can go back into the weather. We give you a specific timeline at booking and tell you immediately if anything changes.
Because it is a fundamentally different service. Detailing cleans the surface. Correction refinishes it — measuring clear coat thickness, then removing microns of material under machine polish to level defects permanently. It is slow, skilled, and irreversible if done carelessly, which is why paint depth readings and test sections come before any compound touches your vehicle.
Usually not completely. A scratch you can catch a fingernail in has broken through the clear coat, and clear coat cannot be polished back — only removed. We can dramatically improve its appearance by rounding the edges so it catches less light, but honest expectation-setting matters here: full removal requires refinishing the panel, which is body shop work. We will tell you which category yours falls into during inspection.
Yes. Trucks and lifted vehicles are priced in our largest tier because of surface area and access, not because they are treated differently. Classic and single-stage paint requires a distinctly more careful approach — single-stage finishes have no clear coat to work with and are far less forgiving — so those vehicles are always quoted after an in-person inspection.
