What Can Paint Correction Improve?

Swirl Marks

Fine circular scratches commonly caused by improper washing, drying and automatic car washes can often be significantly reduced.

Light Scratches

Many light clear-coat scratches can be reduced or removed depending on their depth and the condition of the paint.

Oxidation & Fading

Paint correction can restore clarity and gloss to paint that has become dull or oxidized from years of exposure.

Haze & Lack of Gloss

Machine polishing can refine the paint surface and restore the depth, reflection and gloss that your finish has lost.

What Paint Correction Can't Fix

Paint correction can dramatically improve your vehicle's finish, but it cannot repair every type of paint damage.
Deep scratches that have penetrated through the clear coat, rock chips, peeling or failing clear coat, dents and damaged paint may require professional body or paint repair.
Our goal isn't to remove defects at the expense of your clear coat. We evaluate the paint and recommend a level of correction that balances appearance with the long-term health of your vehicle's finish.

What Level of Paint Correction
​Does Your Vehicle Need?

​Gloss Enhancement

Best for paint that's generally in good condition but needs additional clarity and gloss.
A gloss enhancement uses machine polishing to improve the overall appearance of the finish without pursuing extensive defect removal.
BEST FOR: Newer or well-maintained vehicles.

​Single-Stage Paint Correction

A more aggressive polishing process designed to significantly reduce moderate swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and other paint imperfections.
BEST FOR: Daily drivers with noticeable paint defects.

Multi-Stage Paint Correction

For vehicles requiring a higher level of correction, multiple polishing stages may be used to address heavier defects before refining the paint to achieve maximum clarity and gloss.
BEST FOR: Heavily swirled, oxidized or neglected finishes.

Paint Correction + Ceramic Coating

Want to protect the finish after your paint has been corrected?
Paint correction restores clarity and gloss by improving the condition of the paint. Ceramic coating helps protect that freshly corrected finish and makes the vehicle easier to maintain.
For vehicles receiving a long-term ceramic coating, paint correction may be recommended before installation depending on the condition of the paint.

​Arizona Is Tough on Automotive Paint

Arizona vehicles face intense UV exposure, extreme heat, dust,
hard water and environmental contamination throughout the year.

Over time, these conditions can leave paint looking dull, hazy or oxidized.
Professional paint correction can restore clarity and gloss while
​preparing the finish for additional protection such as a ceramic coating.

Paint Correction FAQs

What is paint correction?

Paint correction is a machine-polishing process used to improve defects in a vehicle's clear coat, including swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and haze. The goal is to restore clarity, depth and gloss to the finish.

​Will paint correction remove every scratch?

No. Many light clear-coat scratches can be significantly reduced or removed, but deeper scratches that penetrate beyond the clear coat may require professional paint or body repair.
We inspect the paint before correction and recommend the appropriate approach for your vehicle.

​How long does paint correction take?

Every vehicle is different. The amount of time required depends on the vehicle's size, paint condition, severity of the defects and the level of correction you're looking for.
Because of these variables, Shine Works Detailing charges for paint correction based on the time required.
Paint correction starts at $150 per hour.

What's the difference between
​paint correction and polishing?

Polishing can be used to enhance gloss and improve minor imperfections. Paint correction focuses more specifically on reducing visible defects such as swirl marks, oxidation, haze and light scratches.
The appropriate process depends on the condition of your vehicle's paint and the results you're looking for.

​Should I ceramic coat my vehicle
​after paint correction?

Ceramic coating is an excellent option after paint correction.
Paint correction improves the appearance of the finish, while ceramic coating adds long-term protection and makes the corrected paint easier to maintain.

Can you paint correct a brand-new vehicle?

Yes. Even new vehicles can have swirl marks, light scratches or imperfections caused by transportation, dealership preparation and improper washing.
We inspect the paint first and recommend only the level of correction the vehicle actually needs.

​Is paint correction worth it?

If your vehicle's paint has lost its gloss or has noticeable swirls, haze, oxidation or light scratches, paint correction can dramatically improve its appearance without repainting the vehicle.
The results depend on the condition and thickness of the existing paint.
