Depending on your condition, whether the vehicle is new or not, some scratches won’t come all the way. It could be the scratches are too deep to remove safely or the clear coat itself is thinning out (we’ll take paint measurements before we start).

Paint Correction FAQ's

How long do the results last?

After the paint is corrected, the next phase is maintenance. It’s just like training your pet to sit on command. You don’t just teach them once and think they’ll know it forever.

You have to continually train and repeat the commands. It’s the same with paint correction. You have to properly (and routinely) wash and dry your vehicle moving forward to maintain the swirl-free finish of your paint. If not, you’re back to square one.
 

What tools and products do you use?

A wide arrange of machines, pads, polishes, compounds, cleaners, towels, and lights will be used to work on your car. Every car will be different and will yield different methods and tools.

What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?

A wax does not remove any swirls or scratches from your paint. It only hides the very light swirls and can be completed in a few hours. Paint correction actually removes the swirls in your paint. This is what makes the paint shine like crazy. It also takes a substantial amount of time and energy to complete. Usually one or two full days (depending on size, condition, and desired results).

Do you offer ceramic coatings?

We sure do! We offer a 1 year all the way up to 5 year ceramic coating for all vehicles (at an additional price). This is of course you properly maintain the coating throughout that duration. You can also stay with the more traditional wax or sealant at no additional price.

What’s the difference between your Level 1 and Level 2 paint correction?

Our Level 1 paint polishing will remove 60 to 75% of the imperfections in your paint.
The Level 2 paint correction removes around 95% of the imperfections in your paint.

For most vehicles, the Level 1 will be just fine. For those that really want the most results, the Level 2 is your option.
