Paint Correction St. Louis
Machine polishing
Remove swirls, haze and water spots
Paint correction is controlled machine polishing that levels the clear coat to remove defects like swirl marks, buffer trails, light scratches, etched water spots and oxidation. It is what turns a clean car into one that looks deep and glossy under direct sun.
We measure and inspect before polishing, then choose the least aggressive compound and pad combination that gets the result. Clear coat is finite, so the goal is the best finish while keeping as much of it as possible.
- One-step enhancement or multi-step correction
- Swirl marks, light scratches and water spot removal
- Inspection under detailing lights
- Recommended before any ceramic coating
Common questions
Can paint correction remove every scratch?
No. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it has usually gone through the clear coat and cannot be polished out safely. Correction can often reduce how visible it is.
How long does paint correction last?
The correction itself is permanent, but new swirls come from washing habits. Pairing correction with a ceramic coating and safe washing keeps the finish looking corrected for years.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
In most cases, yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirls, so the paint should be corrected first.
