What paint correction actually does
Over years of washing, parking and weather, a clear coat collects fine swirl marks, water spots and oxidation. Those defects scatter light, which is why dark paint starts to look dull and grey rather than deep. Paint correction levels a microscopic amount of clear coat with a machine polisher and progressively finer compounds, so light reflects evenly again.
An honest word about scratches
Polishing removes swirls and light scratches very effectively. Deeper scratches that you can feel with a fingernail have gone through the clear coat, and no amount of polishing brings those back — they need touch-up paint or a body shop. We will tell you which kind you have before any work starts, not after. Send a few photos in daylight and you will get a straight answer.
What affects your estimate
Vehicle size, how many stages of polishing the paint needs, the condition of the clear coat, paint hardness, and whether you want a wax or ceramic coating applied afterwards to protect the result. We quote per vehicle after seeing photos, never from a generic price list.
