Paint correction reduces visible defects, but it does not repair rock chips, dents, cracking clear coat, failing paint, deep scratches through the clear coat, or body damage. Final results depend on paint condition and how much clear coat can be safely corrected.

Prices are starting rates before applicable taxes, travel/booking fees, heavy condition charges, wet sanding, advanced spot correction, and ceramic coating upgrades.

What Is Paint Correction?

It’s not just polishing. It’s controlled defect reduction.

Paint correction uses machine polishing, compounds, pads, and finishing polishes to safely level or refine the surface of the clear coat. The goal is to reduce visible defects and restore gloss, clarity, and depth.

Swirl Reduction

Reduces circular wash marks and visible swirls caused by improper washing and drying.

Oxidation Removal

Improves dull, chalky, or tired-looking paint when the clear coat is still serviceable.

Gloss Restoration

Brings back a sharper, wetter-looking finish with better clarity and depth.

Better Reflections

Improves the way light reflects off the paint by refining the surface.

Improved Resale Appeal

A corrected finish can make a vehicle look better maintained and more attractive to buyers.

Better Coating Prep

Paint correction is the right foundation before applying ceramic coating protection.

Street Shiner Process

How our paint correction process works.

Every vehicle is different. We inspect the paint, choose the right correction level, and focus on safe results instead of chasing risky promises.

01

Inspection

We inspect the paint under proper lighting to identify swirls, haze, scratches, oxidation, and trouble areas.

02

Wash

The exterior is washed to remove loose dirt, grime, and buildup before any polishing begins.

03

Decontamination

Paint is chemically and mechanically decontaminated so polishing pads are working on clean paint.

04

Correction

We use the selected machine polishing process to reduce defects and restore clarity.

05

Refinement

The finish is refined to improve gloss, depth, and reflection quality.

06

Protection

A paint sealant is applied, with ceramic coating upgrades available for longer-term protection.

Paint Correction FAQ

Common questions before correcting your paint.

Will paint correction remove every scratch?

No. Paint correction can reduce or remove many clear coat defects, but deep scratches, rock chips, failing clear coat, and damage through the paint cannot be safely polished away.

Is paint correction safe?

Yes, when done properly. The goal is safe improvement, not reckless clear coat removal. We choose the process based on the vehicle’s paint condition.

Do I need ceramic coating after correction?

You do not have to add ceramic coating, but it is strongly recommended if you want longer-lasting protection after improving the paint.

How long does paint correction take?

Timing depends on the package and vehicle condition. A 1-step job is faster, while 2-step and 3-step correction can take significantly longer.

Can paint correction be done mobile?

Yes, when conditions allow. Shade, weather, lighting, temperature, wind, and working space all matter for safe paint correction.

What is the best package for my vehicle?

If the paint is lightly swirled, 1-step may be enough. If it has heavier defects, oxidation, or dullness, a 2-step or advanced correction may be better.
