Your paint has a story — we remove it. A multi-stage machine polish that eliminates swirls, scratches, and dullness to reveal the finish your car was supposed to have.
Pick your stage and car size — your guide price appears instantly, right here on the page. We confirm the right stage with a free paint check, then text you straight back to lock in a time.
Paint correction is machine polishing — using rotary or dual-action polishers with cutting compounds and polishes to physically remove a thin layer of clear coat and eliminate surface defects. This is not polishing with a cloth — it's a precise, technical process.
The result is a dramatically improved finish: swirls gone, scratches reduced, paint looking deeper and more reflective. Swirl marks are almost universal — they come from automated car washes, incorrect washing technique, and cloth wiping. Under direct sunlight or artificial light they're immediately visible.
Confirm safe working depth of clear coat before any polishing begins.
Heavier compound removes deeper defects, swirls and scratches.
Finer polish removes compounding marks, enhances gloss and clarity.
Final inspection. Optional ceramic coating application to protect fresh finish.

Unlike wax or glaze, machine polishing actually eliminates the scratch — not just temporarily hiding it.
Corrected, properly finished paint adds real money to a private sale price.
You cannot apply a coating over defects without locking them in permanently.
