Remove Scratches & Swirls to Reveal Gloss

Have you ever looked at your vehicle's paint in direct sunlight and see a ton of scratches, swirls, or holograms? This is what prevents your car from shining.


One of the most asked questions is how did they get there? These micro-scratches get in the paint due to improper washing and drying methods.  Automatic car washes, brushes, and the use of low-quality drying towels or wash mitts can all lead to installing imperfections into your paint.


We offer two types of paint polishing services. Level 1 to remove roughly 60-80% of imperfections and a level 2 to remove roughly 85-90% of imperfections. 


This is the perfect service for vehicles looking to restore the shine that has been gone for years!

Common Myths About Paint Correction

Myth: Paint correction can removes deep scratches.

Paint correction can only fix surface-level or moderate defects in the clear coat. Deep scratches that go through the clear coat or into the base coat usually require repainting or touch-up, not polishing.

Myth: One stage of polishing is enough.

Not always. True paint correction is often a multi-stage process—starting with aggressive compounding and finishing with finer polishing. A single stage may not eliminate all defects, depending on paint condition.

Myth: You can’t do paint correction on new cars.

New cars often come with factory paint defects, such as micro-marring, buffer trails, or dealership-installed swirls. In fact, many detailers perform paint correction on brand-new vehicles before applying ceramic coating.

Myth: Paint correction can restore oxidized or faded paint completely.

It can improve faded or oxidized paint, but severely damaged paint (especially single-stage paint) may not be fully restorable. In extreme cases, repainting may be necessary.

 Timing depends on your vehicle’s size, condition, and the level of correction needed. Every vehicle is different, so the time required can vary based on how much work is needed to safely restore the paint to its best possible finish.


As a general guideline, a Level 1 Paint Polish typically takes 2-4 hours, while a more intensive Level 2 Paint Correction usually takes 6-8 hours.


 It really comes down to how the vehicle is maintained after the service. If a vehicle is regularly run through automatic car washes or washed with low-quality brushes, mitts, or drying towels, it can start to show swirls and defects again within weeks or months.


On the other hand, with proper hand washing and safe drying methods, the results can last significantly longer and stay looking freshly corrected.


To help maintain that finish, we also offer maintenance wash services for clients who want consistent care on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.
