Real Results From Our Team

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is paint correction?

A multi-stage machine polishing process that removes defects and restores clarity.

2. How do I know if I need paint correction?

If your paint has swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, or looks dull, correction will dramatically improve it.

3. How is this different from the enhancement polish in your Level 3 Detail?

Level 3 includes a light enhancement (up to 50% improvement). Paint correction removes 80–90% of defects and delivers a significantly deeper transformation.

4. Will all scratches be removed?

Most swirl marks and light scratches can be removed. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail may only be reduced.

5. How long does paint correction take?

Most vehicles require 4 to 8 hours, depending on condition and size.

6. Is paint correction safe for my clear coat?

Yes, when performed by trained specialists using proper tools and techniques.

7. Should I get a ceramic coating after correction?

Yes, coatings protect your corrected paint and maintain gloss for years.

8. Can you correct only one panel?

Yes, spot correction is available.

9. Do new vehicles need correction?

Sometimes. Many new cars arrive with swirl marks from transport or dealership prep.

10. Is your facility insured?

Yes — all vehicles are protected while in our care.

Both owners Nate & Matt are just awesome guys to work with. Very professional and detailed. Was called on the day of my appointment to be notified the weather was not in my favor so they changed my appointment to the next day which was really appreciated. Highly recommended and will definitely be back! Thank you both again!
