Frequently Asked Questions
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots from your vehicle's clear coat. Single stage correction removes 60-70% of defects in 3-4.5 hours. Dual stage correction removes 85-95% of defects in 4-5.5 hours using two polish grades.
What is the difference between single stage and dual stage correction?
Single stage correction uses one cutting compound and one polish to remove light to moderate defects like swirl marks, light scratches, and minor oxidation. Dual stage uses a heavier compound first to remove deeper defects, followed by a finer polish to restore maximum gloss. Dual stage is recommended for vehicles with significant paint damage or when preparing for ceramic coating.
Should I get paint correction before ceramic coating?
Yes. Ceramic coating locks in whatever surface condition exists underneath it. If you apply ceramic coating over swirl marks and scratches, those defects are sealed in permanently. Correction before ceramic coating ensures you are sealing in perfect paint, not imperfect paint.
How long does paint correction last?
Paint correction itself is permanent, and the defects that are removed do not come back unless the paint is physically damaged again. However, without a protective coating, new swirl marks and scratches will gradually develop from washing and environmental exposure. Applying a ceramic coating after correction protects the corrected surface for 3-5 years.
Can all scratches be removed by paint correction?
Paint correction removes defects that exist only in the clear coat layer, such as swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Scratches that penetrate through the clear coat into the base coat or primer cannot be fully removed by polishing.

Got the "basic detail", they spent so much time and attention on my vehicle, I was absolutely blown away when I saw it. These guys run an awesome shop.

Had my car detailed here. They were super friendly and accommodating, and very understanding of the absolute mess my car was in. My car came back cleaner than when I bought it- not kidding. Highly recommend.

The detailing done (interior and exterior) was absolutely flawless. I've never received such wonderful, friendly service. My car was previously smoked in, and it's impossible to tell. Windows, mats, leather seats, cloth interiors were all immaculate.
