Paint Correction — Frequently Asked Questions

What is paint correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing surface defects from your car's clear coat — swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and buffer trails — using machine polishing. The result is a smoother, glossier, more reflective finish.
What's the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 paint correction?
Level 2 removes 50–70% of surface defects using a 2-stage process (compound + polish). Level 3 removes 80–99% using a 3-stage process (cutting compound + compound + polish). Level 3 is for vehicles with heavy scratches, severe oxidation, or those seeking a near-perfect finish.
Can all scratches be removed?
Surface scratches in the clear coat can be removed or significantly reduced. Deep scratches that penetrate through the clear coat and into the paint or primer cannot be fully removed by polishing — they may require touch-up paint or respraying.
How long does paint correction last?
The correction itself is permanent — the defects are physically removed. To maintain the results, we recommend protecting the paint with wax, paint sealant, or ceramic coating after correction.
How long does paint correction take?
Level 2 takes 1–2 days. Level 3 takes 2–3 days. We recommend dropping your vehicle off and picking it up the following day or two.
