Make The Paint
Look Wet Again
Swirl marks, wash scratches and hard-water etching are damage in your clear coat. No wax hides them, and a coating will lock them in for years. Machine polishing is the only thing that removes them.
What we can remove.
- Swirl marks and wash haze — the spiderweb pattern you only see in direct sun
- Hard-water etching — mineral rings bitten into the clear coat
- Oxidation and fade from UV exposure
- Bug and bird etching, caught before it goes too deep
- Light scratches you can't catch with a fingernail
- Buffer trails and holograms left by someone else rushing the job
Measure, Test, Then Commit
Inspect under light
Proper inspection lighting shows what daylight hides. We identify what the defects actually are before touching a polisher.
Decontaminate first
Chemical and mechanical decon. Polishing over embedded grit just grinds it into the paint.
Test spot
We correct one small area to find the least aggressive pad and compound that works, then use that across the vehicle.
Refine & protect
A finishing pass for clarity, then panel wipe and protection — otherwise the work starts degrading immediately.
Paint Correction FAQ
What is paint correction?
Machine polishing that removes a microscopic amount of clear coat to level out defects — swirl marks, wash scratches, hard-water etching, light oxidation. It's the difference between paint that looks clean and paint that looks wet.
How many stages do I need?
That depends on how deep the defects are, and it's not a decision to make over the phone. A one-stage polish handles light swirls and haze. Two or three stages tackle deeper scratches and heavy etching. We inspect under proper lighting first and recommend the least aggressive option that gets the result.
Will it remove every scratch?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. If you can catch a scratch with a fingernail it's through the clear coat and polishing won't remove it — it can only soften how it catches light. Anything shallower usually comes out.
Should I get a coating afterwards?
It's the logical pairing. Correction is the expensive part; a ceramic coating is what stops you paying for it again in two years. Freshly corrected paint is also the ideal surface for a coating to bond to.
Can you do paint correction at my house?
Yes — it's what we do. We need a shaded or covered spot and enough room to work around the vehicle with a polisher. A garage is ideal; a carport or shaded driveway works.

Full Detail
Interior and exterior in one visit — the reset button. Washed, decontaminated and protected outside; vacuumed, shampooed and extracted inside.
Interior Detailing
Carpets and mats extracted, seats cleaned and conditioned, every vent, seam and seat rail cleared of Basin dust, then a matte UV dressing.
Exterior Detailing
pH-neutral hand wash, wheels and barrels done separately, bug and tar removed, then a sealant so dust releases instead of bonding.
