    Who is this service for?

    Paint correction is best for owners who notice fine scratches or a dull, hazy look under direct sunlight, especially from years of automatic car washes or improper hand washing. It's also a smart step before selling a vehicle, or as prep work before applying a Ceramic Coating, since coating over swirled paint just locks the swirls in with extra gloss. If your paint just needs a wash and general refresh rather than correction, our Exterior Detailing service may be all you need.

    What does it cost?

    Paint correction and enhancement starts at $150 and is quoted after we inspect your paint under proper lighting, since the number of polishing steps needed depends heavily on how deep and widespread the swirling or oxidation is. For reference, here is our Signature Detail pricing by vehicle size, which includes a lighter paint enhancement as part of that package.

    Why does it matter in Georgia?

    Georgia's strong summer sun accelerates oxidation on unprotected paint, dulling the finish over time, especially on darker colors where swirl marks show up most clearly. Fine red clay dust that settles on a vehicle between washes acts like sandpaper if it's wiped off with a dry towel instead of properly rinsed first, which is one of the most common causes of the swirl marks we correct. Sticky pine pollen residue left on the hood and roof through a full spring season can also dull clear coat if it isn't washed off regularly.

    Commuters logging heavy miles on US-78 and I-20 pick up more bug impacts and highway grit on their front end, which can leave light etching in the clear coat over time. Correcting that damage and following up with a sealant or ceramic coating gives Georgia vehicles a better chance of holding their gloss through the next pollen season and summer heat.

    How long does it take and what should I expect?

    Time depends on the extent of correction needed — a light one-step enhancement may take a couple of hours, while multi-stage correction on heavily swirled paint can take significantly longer. We'll give you an estimate after inspecting the paint in person. You'll need to provide a shaded parking space if possible, since direct sun can cause polish to dry too quickly, along with enough room to move around the vehicle. [FILL IN: water/power requirement].

    We recommend avoiding automatic car washes going forward, since they're one of the leading causes of the swirl marks we're often asked to correct.

    Paint Correction FAQ

    What is paint correction?

    Paint correction is a machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation from clear coat, restoring gloss and clarity to the paint before any wax, sealant or ceramic coating is applied.

    How much does paint correction cost?

    Paint correction and enhancement starts at $150 and is quoted after inspecting your paint under proper lighting, since the amount of correction needed varies widely by vehicle.

    Will paint correction remove all scratches?

    Paint correction removes swirl marks, light to moderate scratches and oxidation that sit in the clear coat. Deep scratches that go through the clear coat into the base color usually cannot be fully removed by polishing alone.

    Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?

    Yes, once paint is corrected it's the ideal time to apply a ceramic coating or sealant to protect that gloss and slow down new swirl marks from forming.

    How long does paint correction take?

    Time varies by vehicle size and the extent of correction needed, from a light one-step polish to a longer multi-stage process. We'll give you a time estimate after inspecting your paint.
