Paint Correction Services
One Step Paint Correction
One-step paint correction is essentially just a polish. In reality it is a simple light cut + polish all in one product. This package is amazing at restoring clarity, depth, gloss, and overall strength of the car paint while being more affordable. Where this package lacks are getting a larger amount of the defects. Set around 60-70% of the defects in the paint, the one step paint correction is more useful for paint that just needs a little "pick me up" and not a more thorough correction.
Two-Step Paint Correction
*Most Popular*
A two-step paint correction is a more intensive process designed to significantly restore and refine your vehicle’s paint by addressing deeper imperfections. This process can remove anywhere for 75-95% of all defects within the paint (most cars would be around 80-90% of defects) .Unlike a single-stage polish, this method involves two distinct steps: an initial compounding stage to remove moderate defects such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, followed by a refining polish that enhances clarity, depth, and gloss. This combination allows for a much higher level of correction, leaving the paint noticeably smoother, clearer, and more reflective. It’s the ideal option for vehicles with more visible wear or for those looking to achieve a near showroom-quality finish.
One-Step Paint Correction
This service is designed to enhance the overall appearance of your vehicle’s paint by removing light defects and restoring gloss in a single polishing stage. It targets light swirl marks, minor imperfections, and dullness, significantly improving the clarity and depth of your paint without the need for a more aggressive multi-step correction. This is the ideal option for vehicles that are in decent condition but need a noticeable refresh. Now although this isnt as thorough as a two-step paint correction some cars need only a one-step paint correction to achieve that showroom finish that you so desire. This is the Perfect Polish if you're just looking for a paint pick me up.

This is a high-value enhancement service that delivers a major visual improvement in a shorter amount of time compared to more intensive correction processes. While results will vary depending on the condition of the paint, a one-step correction typically removes a significant portion of light defects—often around 60–70%—leaving the finish noticeably clearer, glossier, and more refined. It’s the perfect balance between efficiency and results for maintaining and upgrading your vehicle’s appearance.
A one-step paint correction typically removes a moderate amount of defects, usually around 60–70% depending on the condition of the paint. This process uses a single polishing stage to reduce light swirl marks, minor scratches, and overall dullness, while significantly enhancing gloss and clarity.
The exact results can vary based on factors like paint hardness, how deep the defects are, and the color of the vehicle, but overall, it delivers a noticeable improvement without the time and intensity of a multi-step correction. It’s best suited for vehicles with lighter imperfections or for those looking for a strong visual upgrade without going into a full correction process.
Two-Step Paint Correction
This service is designed for vehicles that need a more intensive level of correction to restore the paint to a high standard. A two-step correction goes beyond a single polishing stage by first cutting through deeper defects and then refining the finish to maximize clarity and gloss. This process targets moderate swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections that cannot be fully corrected with a one-step polish.

This is a multi-stage correction process focused on significantly improving the overall condition of your paint. While results will vary based on the starting condition, a two-step correction typically achieves a much higher level of defect removal than a one-step, leaving the paint noticeably clearer, deeper, and more reflective. It is the ideal option for vehicles with moderate imperfections or for those looking to achieve a more refined, near show-quality finish.
How much defects does a two-step paint correction remove?
A two-step paint correction typically removes a significant majority of defects, often in the range of 80–95% depending on the condition of the paint. The first step (compounding) is designed to cut through deeper imperfections like heavier swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, while the second step (polishing) refines the finish to restore clarity, depth, and gloss.
That being said, the exact level of correction will always depend on factors like paint hardness, defect depth, and overall condition. Some deeper scratches or defects that have gone too far into the clear coat may not be safely removable, but they can usually be greatly reduced. The goal of a two-step correction is to achieve the highest level of improvement possible while preserving the integrity of the paint, resulting in a dramatically clearer, smoother, and more reflective finish.
