Paint Correction

Paint correction is a machine polishing process that removes surface defects that dull your paint over time: swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, and oxidation. We offer single-stage and multi-stage correction depending on your paint's condition and your desired finish.

About Paint Correction at Auto Xpert

We perform single and multi-stage machine polishing that removes swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation, bringing your paint back to a clear, showroom-level finish. Packages available based on paint condition and desired results.

Before any work begins, we inspect and measure your clear coat to ensure we're removing only what's needed. The goal is the best possible result while preserving your paint for the long term.

What We Offer

Packages & What's Included

We keep our options focused on what works best: quality products, installed by experienced technicians.

Single-Stage Correction

Removes light swirl marks and minor surface imperfections. Restores clarity and gloss for well-maintained vehicles that need a refresh.

Multi-Stage Correction

Aggressive cut followed by fine polishing for vehicles with deep scratches, heavy oxidation, or years of neglected paint.

Pre-Coating Prep

Paint correction before ceramic coating or PPF installation ensures a flawless base. The coating or film locks in a perfect surface.

Wet Sanding

For deep scratches or orange peel texture, wet sanding levels the clear coat before polishing. Reserved for paint that needs the most intensive correction.

Ask Us Anything
What's the difference between paint correction and a detail?
A detail cleans and polishes the surface. Paint correction physically removes a thin layer of damaged clear coat to eliminate defects. It's a more intensive process with dramatically better results.
Will paint correction damage my clear coat?
When done by trained technicians with proper equipment, no. We measure clear coat thickness before starting and remove only the minimum needed to eliminate defects.
How long does paint correction last?
The results are permanent because the defects are physically removed. However, new swirl marks and scratches will accumulate over time. Ceramic coating after correction helps maintain the results long-term.
How long does paint correction take?
Single-stage correction takes 4–8 hours. Multi-stage correction can take 1–2 full days depending on vehicle size and paint condition.
