Services · Paint Correction

Swirls put in by car washes. Taken out by hand.

Paint correction removes swirls, scuffs, and scratches from your clear coat for real - not hidden under filler. It's slow, skilled work, which is why collectors bring us Paganis - and why it books about a week out.

What you get

Removed, not hidden. There's a difference.

  • Certified training - Esoteric, Lucci Elite, Rupes advanced polishing, Meguiar's wet sanding
  • Menzerna & Sonax compounds - professional-grade, matched to your paint
  • Minor to major correction - from light haze to years of neglect
  • An honest inspection first - we show you what's fixable before any number is final
  • Cars, trucks & motorcycles - the same craft on two wheels or four
  • The foundation for protection - corrected paint is what Gyeon ceramic locks in

Options

As much correction as your paint needs.

Every car, truck, and motorcycle wears differently - so correction starts with an inspection, and the level drives the quote. Appointments book about one week out.

Minor Correction

Single-stage polish · light swirls & haze

Wakes the gloss back up on paint that's mostly healthy.

Quoted at consult

Major Correction

Multi-stage compound + polish

Years of swirls, scratches, and oxidation removed. The full transformation.

Quoted at consult

Wet Sanding

Certified NXT wet-sand work

For the defects polishing can't reach - certified, careful, measured.

Protect After

Gyeon ceramic over corrected paint

Lock the finish in for 18-24 months - most corrections leave with it.

The correction

Inspected first. Polished second.

1

Consult & inspect

We read your paint together and agree the level - and what's not fixable - before quoting. Book about a week ahead.

2

Wash & decontaminate

Two-bucket wash, clay treatment, spot-free RO rinse - polishing over bonded grit just grinds it back in.

3

Correct

Menzerna and Sonax compounds, panel by panel, by hand and machine. Slow on purpose.

4

Protect & walkaround

Fresh paint gets sealed - or coated in Gyeon - and you inspect every panel with us at pickup.

“No swirl marks, and they know how to remove crap off your paint like those stupid yellow spots. No one touches my car except these guys.”

Questions

Asked before every correction.

Why does it book a week out?

Because correction is slow, careful work and we don't stack it. One car gets the bay and the hours it needs - that's how the finish ends up flawless instead of rushed.

Can every scratch come out?

No - and we'll show you which ones before we start. If a scratch is through the clear coat, it needs paint, not polishing. Everything shallower, we can genuinely remove.

Where do swirls come from?

Mostly automated car washes and dirty wash sponges - fine scratches carved in a little more with every wash. We remove them, then show you how to wash so they stay gone.

Do you correct motorcycles?

Yes - tanks, fenders, and fairings get the same compounds and the same care. It's part of why bike owners trust us with their choppers and baggers.
