Paint Correction FAQs

Will paint correction remove deep scratches?

Paint correction can remove swirl marks and light scratches, but deeper scratches that penetrate the clear coat may not be fully removable through polishing alone. We can assess your vehicle’s paint and explain what results are achievable.

Should I get correction before ceramic coating or Liquid PPF?

Yes — we typically recommend correcting the paint first.

How long does paint correction last?

Results can last years with proper washing and protection. Adding a ceramic coating extends the corrected finish significantly.

How much does paint correction cost?

Gloss Enhancement starts at $275, 1-Step Paint Correction at $364 (Sedan/Small–Midsize SUV) or $399 (Large SUV/Truck), and 2-Step Paint Correction at $728 or $799.

What's the difference between 1-Step and 2-Step correction?

1-Step correction removes about 50–60% of swirls and minor defects in roughly 4 hours. 2-Step correction removes about 80–95% of swirls and defects in roughly 8 hours and includes your choice of wax or sealant.

How long does paint correction take?

Gloss Enhancement takes about 3 hours, 1-Step Paint Correction about 4 hours, and 2-Step Paint Correction about 8 hours.

What's included in every paint correction package?

Every package includes a full decontamination wash. 1-Step and 2-Step corrections also include iron fallout remover and clay bar treatment before polishing.

Do you offer wet sanding?

Yes. Wet sanding is available as an additional charge for defects that polishing alone can’t safely remove. We’ll assess your paint and let you know if it’s needed.
