Swirls out.Depth back.

Automatic car washes, dirty towels and years of Florida sun leave paint covered in fine scratches that scatter light and make even a clean car look dull. Paint correction is machine polishing that levels those defects so the finish reflects like glass again.

Prices by vehicle size: Sedan · SUV / Truck · Large SUV / 3-row. Decontamination and sealant included.

The defects we can remove

If it’s in the clear coat and not through it, polishing can usually take it out.

  • Swirl marks

    The spiderweb pattern you see in sunlight — from car washes and improper drying.

  • Light scratches

    Fine scratches that haven’t gone through the clear coat.

  • Water spots & etching

    Mineral deposits from sprinklers and hard water that have started to etch in.

  • Oxidation & haze

    Sun-dulled, chalky paint brought back to color and gloss.

  • Buffer trails & holograms

    Marks left behind by a previous rushed polish job.

  • Bird dropping etching

    Shallow etching from droppings and bug guts that were left too long.

Measured, not rushed

  1. Decontaminate

    Foam wash, iron remover and clay bar so nothing gets dragged through the paint during polishing.

  2. Inspect

    We check the paint under proper lighting and decide how many stages the car needs — one-stage refines, two-stage cuts then refines.

  3. Polish

    Machine polishing panel by panel with the right pad and compound for your paint.

  4. Protect

    Fresh, corrected paint needs protection — a sealant is included, and a ceramic coating is the best long-term option.

Good questions

One-stage or two-stage?

One-stage removes most swirls and restores gloss — the right call for most daily drivers. Two-stage adds a heavier cutting pass first for deeper scratches and neglected paint. We recommend after seeing the car.

Can you remove every scratch?

Anything that’s through the clear coat (you can catch it with a fingernail) can’t be polished out — that’s paint work. Everything above that usually can.

How long does it take?

A one-stage on a sedan is typically most of a day; two-stage on a large SUV can be two days. We’ll confirm a timeline when you book.

Should I coat it afterwards?

If you want the results to last, yes. Correction without protection means the swirls slowly return. See the ceramic coating page.
