Paint Correction FAQ
Is paint correction worth it?
If swirls and haze bother you every time you see your car in the sun, yes. It's the only way to actually remove defects rather than hide them, and it's the right prep before a ceramic coating.
Can paint correction remove scratches?
Light and moderate scratches that haven't gone through the clear coat can usually be removed or greatly reduced. Deeper scratches may improve but might need paintwork.
Quick Polish or Heavy Paint Correction?
Quick Polish is a 1-step polish for newer vehicles and light swirls. Heavy Paint Correction (from $400) is for heavier defects. We'll recommend one after seeing the paint.
