Paint Correction & Swirl Removal

Tunnel car washes, harsh sponges, and winter wipers leave fine scratches, dull oxidation, and spider-web swirls in your clear coat. Machine paint correction uses dual-action polishers, micro-abrasives, and precision pads to permanently level those defects — restoring deep gloss and metallic clarity you can't get from a wax.

Two levels of correction

Choose the right level of correction

Not every vehicle needs the same depth of polishing. We measure your clear coat and recommend the level that removes the most defect while staying safe.

Option 1: Paint Enhancement (1-Step)

1-Step Machine Gloss & Swirl Reduction

Ideal for newer cars, daily drivers, or dark paints with light wash swirls. A single machine polishing pass with fine pads and finishing polish removes 50-70% of light surface defects, dramatically boosting depth and clarity.

  • Removes light wash scratches, hazing & dull film
  • Elevates gloss & color reflection dramatically
  • Perfect prep before Ceramic Pro ONE
Recommended For:Newer Vehicles & Light Swirls
Option 2: Multi-Step Correction (2-Step) — Most Popular

2-Step Heavy Defect Correction

Designed for vehicles with moderate-to-heavy swirl marks, water-spot etching, isolated deep scratches, or dull oxidized clear coat. Step 1 compounds out deep defect depth; Step 2 refines the paint to a flawless, swirl-free mirror finish.

  • Eliminates 85-95%+ of clear-coat defects
  • Restores jet-black depth & metallic flake pop
  • Flawless show-car mirror shine
Recommended For:Used Vehicles & Deep Swirls

Why trust us with your clear coat

Paint correction is permanent — done right, it's the single biggest visual upgrade you can make; done wrong, it burns through clear coat. We measure paint thickness, select the correct pad-and-polish combinations, and work under controlled lighting so every panel is corrected safely and consistently.

Paint-measured, not guessed

We use a paint-depth gauge to confirm safe clear-coat before any abrasive.

Controlled lighting inspection

Brink & LED inspection lights reveal every defect before & after polishing.

8+ years of correction work

Daily-driver compacts to show cars across Southeast Idaho.

The perfect pairing

Lock in the shine

Correction removes the defects — a coating prevents them from coming back. We strongly recommend pairing every correction with a Ceramic Pro ONE or Gold package so the flawless finish lasts for years instead of months.

Paint correction FAQ

Can correction remove deep scratches?

We safely remove scratches within the clear coat. If a scratch catches your fingernail into primer, it may need wet-sanding or touch-up first.

How long does correction take?

A 1-step or 2-step correction usually requires a full day (6-10 hours) depending on paint hardness and vehicle size.

Do I need correction before coating?

Yes — a coating locks in the finish underneath it, so we correct swirls first for a flawless result.
