What correction removes
Swirl marks and fine scratches. Bird dropping etching and acid rain etching. Hologramming and buffer trails left by someone else's machine. Random isolated deep scratches, the ones detailers call RIDS.
Each of those reflects light in a different direction, which is why a dark car in direct sun looks grey and flat instead of deep. Correction levels the surface so the reflection is sharp again.
We correct every part, from the door handles to the A pillars, not just the panels that face the camera.
Two levels
One step polish
- Foam bath hand wash using a pH neutral soap
- Paint decontamination with clay bar, clay mitt or paint cleansers depending on severity
- One step machine polish to restore gloss and remove around 60 percent of imperfections and swirl marks
- Hand applied premium hybrid sealant wax for high gloss, lasting around three months
- Wheels cleaned including the barrels, decontaminated, tar removed
Multi step polish
- Foam bath hand wash using a pH neutral soap
- Paint decontamination with clay bar, clay mitt or paint cleansers depending on severity
- Multi step machine polish, cut then polish then finish, removing 80 to 95 percent of imperfections
- Wheels cleaned including the barrels, decontaminated, tar removed
Pricing
What it costs.
Every vehicle is different. Final pricing depends on condition, size and the services selected.
Correction is quoted per vehicle. Paint hardness, colour, age and the depth of the defects all change how many passes the job needs, so an honest figure comes after we have looked at the panels in daylight. A one step machine polish is also included inside the Mobile Premium Detail at $550, $650 and $750 by size band.
No paint is perfect. A multi step correction gets as close as the clear coat safely allows.

Questions
Paint Correction
in detail.
Anything not answered here, call (210) 363-7307. You will get a person.
What is paint correction?
The process of restoring and rejuvenating paintwork by removing imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches and oxidation, leaving a smoother and glossier finish.
How does it differ from traditional detailing?
Traditional detailing cleans and protects the surfaces. Paint correction specifically targets imperfections in the paint through polishing to achieve a flawless appearance.
How long does paint correction last?
It depends on the condition of the paint, driving habits and maintenance. Performed by professionals with quality products, results can last from several months to years.
Can it remove deep scratches or chips?
It can significantly improve shallow scratches and imperfections, but it may not completely eliminate deep scratches or paint chips. Those may need touch up paint or another repair method.
Should I correct before a ceramic coating?
Yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so correction comes first. Every ceramic package includes a one step polish for this reason.
