Paint Correction Services in Charlotte, NC
Restore your vehicle's paint to showroom perfection. Our multi-stage correction process removes years of wear.
Paint correction is the process of permanently removing imperfections from your vehicle's clear coat. This includes swirl marks from automatic car washes, scratches, water spots, bird dropping etching, and oxidation.
Unlike polish-and-wax services that temporarily mask defects, paint correction uses machine polishing with specialized compounds to level the clear coat and permanently eliminate imperfections.
We offer single-stage polish for minor swirl removal up to full multi-stage correction for heavily damaged paint. Every paint correction includes a thorough wash, clay bar decontamination, and iron removal before polishing begins.
What's Included
- Permanent removal of swirl marks and scratches
- Eliminates water spots and bird dropping etching
- Restores depth and clarity to faded paint
- Removes oxidation from neglected vehicles

Paint Correction FAQ
Can paint correction remove deep scratches?
Paint correction removes defects in the clear coat — swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Deep scratches that penetrate to the base coat may require touch-up paint before correction.
How long does paint correction take?
Single-stage polish takes about 3 hours. Two-stage correction takes 6 hours, and full multi-stage correction can take a full day (8 hours) depending on the vehicle size and paint condition.
Should I get paint correction before ceramic coating?
Absolutely. Ceramic coating locks in whatever condition your paint is in. Getting paint correction first ensures you're sealing a flawless finish, not trapping existing defects under the coating.
