SINGLE STEP PAINT CORRECTION
Paint Enhancement Polish
One-step paint enhancement is a quick, efficient process that improves your vehicle's paint by refining its gloss and clarity. Using a machine polisher and a medium-level polishing compound, it removes light imperfections like swirl marks, minor scratches, and haze, enhancing the depth and shine without addressing deep defects.
This process is ideal for well-maintained vehicles or those needing a refresh. It’s faster and more affordable than multi-step corrections, offering a noticeable improvement in appearance. While it doesn’t fix deeper flaws, it prepares the surface for protection, such as ceramic coatings, to lock in the shine.
This Package Includes:
• Full Exterior Preparation
• Paint Decontamination + Clay Bar
• Wheels & Tires Detailed
• 1 Stage Machine Polishing
• Includes 6 month Sealant
MULTI STAGE PAINT CORRECTION
Heavy Swirl Marks & Defects Removal
Multi-step paint correction is a thorough process used to remove deeper imperfections, such as severe swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other defects that are not addressed by a single-step polish. This advanced procedure typically involves two or more stages of machine polishing, each with a different level of abrasiveness, to refine the paint and restore its clarity, depth, and gloss.
Here’s how the multi-step process generally works:
- Stage One (Heavy Correction): The first step usually involves using a more aggressive polish and pad combination to remove the most severe imperfections. This stage is designed to level the paint and remove deeper defects. The goal is to reduce the visibility of scratches and swirl marks, but some light hazing or micro-marring may appear at this stage.
- Stage Two (Refinement): After the heavy defects are removed, a finer polishing pad and less aggressive compound are used in the second stage. This step is designed to refine the paint further, eliminating any haze or micro-marring left behind from the first stage. The result is a smoother, clearer finish with an increased level of gloss.
- Final Polishing (Optional): In some cases, a third stage involves a final polishing with an ultra-fine polish to achieve an even higher level of gloss, clarity, and depth. This step can enhance the overall appearance and ensure that the paint has a mirror-like finish.
Multi-step paint correction is ideal for vehicles that have more extensive paint defects, especially those that have been neglected or have been exposed to harsh environmental factors like acid rain, tree sap, or bird droppings. It’s a time-intensive process, but it delivers exceptional results by restoring the paint to a near-perfect condition. The process also prepares the surface for ceramic coatings, paint protection films, or other protective layers, ensuring that the paint remains in pristine condition for a longer period.

TYPES OF DEFECTS
Swirl Marks & Fine Scratches
Swirl Marks & Fine Scratches
Swirl marks, fine scratches, and marring naturally develop over time, often leaving a hazy finish that dulls your vehicle's appearance. Fortunately, these imperfections can be corrected through professional machine polishing, restoring a flawless, showroom-worthy shine.
A proper paint correction typically requires 1–2 days of meticulous polishing. Each panel is carefully worked on and inspected to ensure a flawless finish.
Water Spots and Etching
Swirl Marks & Fine Scratches
Chemical etching occurs when mineral deposits sit on the paint for too long, especially under direct sunlight. If not properly washed off, these contaminants can embed into the surface, causing permanent damage. This is often a result of air-drying after "hosing down" a vehicle, as minerals in the water supply can leave behind stubborn residue.
Fortunately, if addressed early, these defects can be corrected, restoring your paint’s smooth and flawless finish!
Holograms/Buffer Trails
Holograms/Buffer Trails
Holograms are micro scratches caused by the aggressive rotation of a rotary polisher, often due to improper technique, harsh pads, or abrasive compounds. Inexperienced workmanship or excessive pressure can also leave behind these unsightly trails.
Achieving a flawless finish requires time, precision, and the right polishing process. Removing severe defects involves multiple refinement stages to restore the paint to its true, mirror-like shine.
