One-step
A single polish.
One machine polishing stage that removes light swirls and haze and restores gloss. It’s the right choice for paint in decent shape, and it’s the correction included with every ceramic coating.
Two-step
Cut, then refine.
A heavier cutting stage takes out deeper swirls and scratches, then a finishing polish brings the gloss back up. It’s for paint that’s been neglected, machine-washed for years or badly swirled.
Pricing
Send photos.
Every car’s paint is different, so we price correction by text. Send three or four photos of the paint in daylight, plus a close-up of the worst area, to Newberg or Lincoln City.
Results
What correction can and can’t do.
Results depend on the condition and thickness of your paint, and no specific result is guaranteed. We’ll tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
- Removes swirl marks and holograms
- Removes light scratches and haze
- Reduces oxidation and dullness
- Won’t fix rock chips or scratches through the clear coat
How long it takes
Hours, not minutes.
A one-step usually takes most of a day. A two-step can run a full day or more, depending on the vehicle and the paint.
Protect it
Then coat it.
Corrected paint looks its best when it’s protected. A ceramic coating locks in the finish for years and makes the car much easier to keep clean.
FAQ
Paint Correction questions.
Do I need a one-step or a two-step?
It depends on how much damage is in the paint. Text a few photos in good light and we’ll tell you which makes sense.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
No. It removes swirls, light scratches and oxidation. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it’s likely through the clear coat and can’t be polished out safely.
How much does paint correction cost?
It depends on the vehicle and the condition of the paint, so we price it by text after seeing photos.
Should I get a ceramic coating after?
It’s the best way to protect the result. Both ceramic coating packages already include a one-step correction.
