Paint correction
Multi-stage machine polishing that removes swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots and oxidation from the clear coat and brings back a deep, mirror-like reflection.

Measured, not guessed
Years of automatic washes leave a cobweb of fine scratches that dulls paint in direct light. Correction levels those defects out of the clear coat, panel by panel, under hex inspection lighting that shows what the sun hides.
Every correction starts with a paint depth reading and a defect inspection, and only the minimum needed is removed. Sometimes the right call is to leave a deep scratch alone rather than chase it through the clear coat.

Which stage
One stage or two?
The paint is inspected under the lights first, and you get the stage it actually needs, not a fixed menu.
A single polishing stage that improves gloss and reduces lighter defects. Right for paint that is dull or lightly swirled. Usually a full day.
A cutting stage followed by refining, for paint with deeper swirls, water spots or oxidation. One to two days.
From the studio
Paint Correction we have done

A one-stage polish is usually a full day. Two-stage correction takes one to two days.
Freshly corrected paint has no protection of its own, so a sealant or ceramic coating straight after is the usual next step.
Correction removes defects that sit in the clear coat. Damage that goes through it may remain, and the studio tells you which marks those are at inspection.
Can paint correction fix all scratches?
One-stage or two-stage?
Is it safe for my clear coat?
Do I need a coating afterwards?
