Paint Correction & Swirl Removal
Machine polishing that removes swirl marks and light scratches and brings back real depth and gloss.
What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the machine polishing of your car's clear coat to remove swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and haze. Instead of hiding defects under a glaze, polishing levels the surface so light reflects evenly again, and that's what brings back depth and gloss.
What Causes Swirls?
Most swirl marks come from washing: automatic brushes, dirty sponges and drying towels drag grit across the paint. Under the sun or a parking-lot light they show up as fine circular scratches.
Our Two Options
- Diamond: exterior detail with buff, polish and wax, plus swirl and light scratch removal. About 4–5 hours.
- Platinum: everything in our Deluxe interior and exterior detail, plus paint correction. About 6–7 hours.
Deep scratches that go through the clear coat can't be polished out. We'll check your paint at drop-off and tell you what to expect.
Protect the Result
After correction, a ceramic coating is the best way to keep that finish looking new.
