Paint correction is the systematic leveling of the paint through various compounds and polishes to remove defects such as orange peel, swirl marks, holograms, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and contamination. Instead of simply covering the defects up with oils and waxes (something that most other shops do), proper paint correction refines the finish to a leveled higher gloss, deeper shine appearance.

It all depends on the starting condition and the desired end results. We cannot give a price without seeing the car in person.

Maintenance is a crucial part in keeping the paintwork pristine after a true paint correction. This is where a proper car wash technique comes into play.

We highly suggest adding a coating for longer term protection that will also aid in added gloss and scratch resistance.
