Paint Correction in Austin, TX
Remove the defects instead of hiding them under wax.
About our paint correction service
Paint correction is the process of leveling a microscopic layer of clear coat to permanently remove swirl marks, wash scratches, water-spot etching and oxidation. It's not a filler product that washes away in three weeks — the defects are actually gone.
We start by measuring paint thickness across every panel with a gauge, then run a test section to find the least aggressive combination of pad and compound that gets the result. That discipline is what separates safe correction from a job that thins the clear coat unnecessarily.

What's included
Inside the Paint Correction process
Paint depth measurement
Panel-by-panel readings before any polisher touches the car.
Test section first
We prove the process on one area and show you the before/after under inspection lighting.
One, two or three stage
From a single-stage gloss enhancement to multi-stage correction targeting 90%+ defect removal.
Full decontamination prep
Wash, iron removal and clay are always included — polishing over contamination causes new scratches.
Inspection lighting on site
We bring our own lighting so nothing is missed in a dim garage.
Protection to finish
Corrected paint is sealed or coated the same day so the work is locked in.
