Paint correction is the permanent removal of swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation from your vehicle’s clear coat using specialized polishing machines and compounds.

Unlike waxing, which temporarily hides defects, true paint correction levels the clear coat to expose flawless, mirror-like paint.

We offer 3 correction stages (40–95% defect removal) starting at $550, and we measure paint thickness during the process to ensure safe, long-term results.

Why Paint Correction Matters Especially in Minnesota

Over time, your paint accumulates swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation from:

  • Harsh automatic car washes

  • Minnesota road salt

  • Winter ice scraping

  • Construction dust

  • UV exposure

  • Improper washing techniques

These defects scatter light instead of reflecting it — causing your paint to look dull, faded, and scratched under sunlight.

Paint correction restores clarity and depth by removing the damaged layer of clear coat.

Your vehicle regains:

  • Deep gloss

  • Mirror-like reflection

  • True color depth

  • A smooth surface ready for protection

And unlike a quick polish or wax, the results from paint correction are permanent until new damage occurs.

Benefits of Professional Paint Correction

  • The defects we remove do not return. They’re gone until new damage is caused.

  • Your paint will look dramatically deeper, glossier, and more reflective.

  • Removes mineral etching and cloudy, dull areas caused by Minnesota’s environmental exposure.

  • Ceramic coating should never be applied to uncorrected paint. Correction gives the coating the perfect base.

  • A swirl-free vehicle can sell for $1,500–$3,000 more.

  • Repainting costs $5,000–$15,000.
    Paint correction restores your factory finish at a fraction of the cost.

Our Professional Paint Correction Process

We follow a systematic, safe, and highly controlled multi-step process to bring your paint back to life.

1. Full Paint Inspection & LED Lighting Review

We analyze every panel and measure clear coat thickness to determine the safest correction approach.

4. Multi-Stage Machine Correction

Depending on the stage selected:

  • Heavy compounding removes deeper defects

  • Polishing removes haze

  • Ultra-fine finishing polish creates a mirror gloss

We measure clear coat thickness throughout the service.

2. Deep Cleaning & Decontamination

  • Two-bucket wash

  • Iron removal

  • Clay bar treatment

  • Tar and salt residue removal

This ensures the paint is surgically clean before polishing.

5. Refinement & “Jeweling”

The final step uses ultra-soft pads to maximize clarity and create a glass-like finish.

3. Test Section (To Determine Correct Pad & Compound)

Every paint system is different. We test different combinations to find the safest, most effective correction method.

6. Protection Application

Choose between:

  • 6-month paint sealant (included)

  • Ceramic coating upgrade (2–5 years)

This locks in your results and prevents new defects.
