Our correction process
We start with a thorough decontamination wash, clay treatment, and a careful paint inspection under multiple lighting angles. We then measure clear coat thickness with a paint gauge to ensure we have material to safely remove defects. From there we pick a 1-, 2-, or 3-stage process — cutting compound first to remove defects, then refining polishes to restore gloss and clarity without holograms.
How long paint correction lasts
The correction itself is permanent — the defects you remove don't grow back. What can return are new swirls and scratches from poor washing technique, automated car washes, and dirty wash media. Most clients pair correction with a ceramic coating so the perfected finish is locked in and easy to keep clean for years. With careful washing, a corrected unsealed finish still looks dramatically better for many months.
Is your car a good candidate?
Almost any vehicle with original clear coat that hasn't been compounded to death is a candidate. Single-stage paints (typically older cars) and very thin clears need extra care. We'll inspect your paint, measure thickness, and tell you honestly what's achievable before we touch a polisher.
