Get Your Car's Paint Corrected & Left Looking Like "New"
Something you should know before booking an appointment is the importance of knowing the differences between a paint enhancement, a 1 step paint correction, and a 2 step paint correction service. This will ensure you’re fully knowledgeable throughout the process.
1
Paint Enhancement
A paint enhancement is a basic service that aims to improve the overall appearance of your vehicle’s paint. It typically involves light polishing and the application of a protective coating or sealant. This service is suitable for cars with minimal swirl marks, light scratches, and a dull finish. It doesn’t address severe defects or heavy oxidation.
We aim for 50% – 60% defect removal
2
One-Step Correction
A (1 step paint correction) is a more comprehensive process than a paint enhancement. It involves a single cutting step using a compound or polish to remove light to moderate imperfections, such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. This service is suitable for vehicles with a reasonable amount of defects but still in relatively good condition.
We aim for 70% – 80% defect removal
3
Two-step Correction
A (2 step paint correction) is the most thorough and intensive service. It involves a two-step process: first, using a more aggressive compound to remove severe imperfections, scratches, and oxidation; followed by a finer polishing step to refine the surface and restore a high-gloss finish. This service is recommended for vehicles with significant defects, heavy oxidation, or severe scratches.
We aim for 90% – 95% defect removal

Paint correction is an easy solution to move beyond scratches, water spots, bird drop damage, swirls, paint oxidation and scrapes
Opting for a paint correction for your vehicle is a strategic investment in both its appearance and long-term value. Over time, a car’s exterior can accumulate unsightly imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, diminishing its overall aesthetic appeal.
Paint correction, carried out by skilled professionals, involves a precise process of polishing and refining the paint surface to eliminate or minimize these defects.
WATER SPOTS
A water spot is a visible mark or stain on a surface, typically caused by the evaporation of water containing minerals like calcium and magnesium. When the water dries, these minerals are left behind, creating noticeable spots on surfaces such as vehicles, glass, or other materials.
BIRD DROP DAMAGE
Bird droppings damage car paint due to their acidic nature. The acidity can react with the paint, causing discoloration, etching, and weakening of the protective layers. Prompt removal is essential to prevent permanent harm to the paint finish.
SWIRLS PAINT OXIDATION
Paint swirls come from improper washing with abrasive materials, while holograms, visible under certain light, result from incorrect polishing techniques. Both diminish the clarity and gloss of the paint

Need To Know More? Here Are The Benefits To Paint Correction
Fixing Surface Defects For Flawless Paint
A major advantage of our paint correction package is repairing and reviving your vehicle's clear coat surface. Not only does automotive paint correction eliminate swirls, scratches, and other glaring defects, but it also dramatically boosts the gloss on those newly corrected areas. The surface enhancement from proper paint correction elevates your car's appearance to an entirely new level!
Enhances Vehicle Resale Value
Paint correction doesn't just remove defects, imperfections, and stains to enhance your car's appearance. It also tremendously boosts the resale value. Scratches and swirls that dull the finish make a vehicle much less appealing to buyers. But with a freshly corrected, professionally revitalized paint job, your car will command top dollar. A flawless, glossy finish ensures you get maximum return when it's time to sell or trade in.
Enhance The Radiant Shine Of Ceramic Coatings
Impurities in the clear coat can affect how well a ceramic coating adheres. It's crucial to address these impurities beforehand, as they may compromise the coating's effectiveness and longevity, potentially reducing the value of your investment. Prioritizing repairs to any paintwork flaws ensures a smooth ceramic coating application, guaranteeing maximum shine and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about our paint correction services
The length of time necessary for paint correction is determined by several factors, including the vehicle size, the amount of paint flaws, and the level of correction required. It can take anywhere from several hours to a full day on average.
Most vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorbikes, can have their paint corrected. However, depending on the quality and thickness of the vehicle’s paint, the feasibility and extent of rectification may vary. A professional evaluation is recommended to establish the optimum technique for each vehicle.
No, paint correction goes beyond basic waxing or polishing. It involves correcting the paint’s surface by removing a thin layer to eliminate imperfections, whereas waxing and polishing focus on enhancing shine temporarily.
Paint correction can significantly reduce or eliminate light to moderate scratches, but deep or severe scratches may require touch-up paint or more advanced repair methods.
It is not necessary for you to be there the entire time. We just need access to your vehicle and a space large enough to get the job done.
The durability of paint correction depends on factors like maintenance, driving conditions, and protective measures applied afterward. It can last from several months to a few years.
It is crucial to perform a paint correction before applying a ceramic coating on a vehicle. This process involves one or multiple polishing steps to eliminate any swirls or webbing. The paint will be leveled to the depth of the scratch or swirl before the ceramic coating is applied.
Neglecting this step will magnify any defects in the paintwork tenfold by the ceramic coating. To ensure the best results, the vehicle’s paintwork must be thoroughly prepped before coating. Without proper preparation, the coating may bond to an unclean surface, leading to a shorter lifespan and a suboptimal outcome.
When performed by a skilled professional, paint correction is safe. However, excessive or aggressive correction can thin the paint layer, so it’s important to choose a reputable service.
The only difference between a brand new car and a used car is the amount of prep work needed before the coating can go on.
The cost varies depending on factors like the vehicle’s size, condition, and the extent of correction needed. It’s best to request quotes from reputable detailers.
Yes, maintenance is essential to prolong the results. Regular washing, proper drying techniques, and protective measures like sealants or coatings can help maintain the corrected finish.
We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, cashapp, venmo/paypal, and cash . Please inquire about specific payment options when booking your appointment.
Correct Before You Coat
If you just purchased a brand new car, truck, or other type of vehicle, does that guarantee the paint is absolutely pristine? Not in the least. As a matter of fact, most brand new vehicles sustain a lot of surface damage from the moment they leave the manufacturing floor until they arrive at the dealership you purchase it from.
Many times, our paint correction team at Pro Exclusive Detailing & Coatings put a brand new vehicle under direct light and see a tremendous amount of swirl marks. They are caused by abrasive washing techniques or inadequate dealership car washes, rubbing dirty towels or soft touch mechanics against brand new factory finishes. Aside from those defects, any scratches, chips, or other discrepancies that our paint correction packages remedy may have been sustained during transport from dealership to dealership.
There are endless benefits to having a brand new ride’s paint corrected by our professional crew, but the most notable perk is that there is hidden value in a brand new vehicle that has been stifled by the common new car defects mentioned above. Unlock this value right at the start of your new vehicle’s life with our comprehensive paint correction packages!
