Paint correction can remove or significantly reduce surface-level scratches and swirl marks by polishing the clear coat. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot be safely polished away and may require touch-up paint, or repainting. Paint correction isn't scratch repair and not every scratch can be removed, however it can dramatically improve the overall appearance of the paint.

Time varies depending on the size and condition of the vehicle and the level of correction needed. We will evaluate your vehicle and provide an estimated timeframe.
