Reveal The Gloss and Shine From Your Paint By Removing Swirls and Scratches
Our Level 2 paint correction is designed to remove about 80% of swirls, scratches, and imperfections from your paint. We do a thorough cutting and polishing process, a 2-step correction, to bring out the best gloss and clarity in your paint.
Some scratches will not come out depending on the severity of the scratches and the condition of the vehicle. This could be due to the clear coat thinning out, or the scratches being too deep to remove.
We will make the call whether we think the scratch can be removed. Although the goal is to remove as many imperfections as possible, we also want to make sure your paint is still within working boundaries and healthy.
Even brand new vehicles that you have just bought may need a 2 step correction. This is due to all of the moving and washing done to the car before getting it ready to be sold.
The Level 2 paint correction is a big commitment you’re making to your vehicle. If you do not properly wash and dry your car than the swirls and scratches could come right back. If you want your car to remain shiny and glossy, it is essential that you properly maintain your vehicle.
If you plan on selling your vehicle and want to make sure you get the most value out of your vehicle, Level 1 polishing or Wash and Wax is also a great option. For the ultimate form of protection, we also offer Ceramic Coating and paint protection film

Paint Correction FAQs
What is the best protection to keep my car clean?
We highly recommend checking out our Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection Film. These are the 2 best forms of protection for your vehicle. You can also go with a traditional wax or sealant that will not last at on for no additional cost.
How long will my car stay shiny?
This all depends on how you maintain it. You have to properly wash and dry your vehicle moving forward to preserve the swirl-free finish of your paint.
What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?
Paint Correction takes a lot of time and effort, usually one or two full days, depending on your vehicle's size, condition and your desired results. Unlike wax, which just hides light swirls quickly, paint correction gets rid of them, making your paint shine amazingly well.
Can the scratches and swirls come back?
Using tunnel car washes with aggressive brushes will result in scratches on your paint once again. However, by using proper washing techniques, you can minimize scratches and swirls.
Can I pair this service with any others?
Yes! We highly recommend you pair this up with a Ceramic Coating and Full interior Cleaning.
