When Do You Need Paint Correction?
Swirl marks visible in sunlight – Those spiderweb-like scratches from automatic car washes or improper drying.
Dull or oxidized paint – Your car’s color looks faded, hazy, or lacks reflection.
Light to moderate scratches – Surface scratches that don’t catch your fingernail.
Before selling or after collision repair – To maximize value or blend new paint with existing panels seamlessly.
How We Perform Paint correction (Step-by-Step Process)
Step 1: Thorough wash & decontamination
We remove dirt, tar, and bonded contaminants to prevent further scratching.
Step 2: Paint thickness inspection
Using a paint depth gauge to ensure safe correction without damaging clear coat.
Step 3: Multi-stage machine compounding & polishing
Our newest dent pulling technology and rotary/polisher systems level the clear coat, removing defects.
Step 4: Final finish & protection
We buff to a high-gloss, swirl-free finish and apply a protective layer (sealant or wax optional).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is paint correction the same as waxing?
No. Waxing adds a temporary layer of protection. Paint correction removes a microscopic layer of clear coat to actually eliminate scratches, swirls, and oxidation. We usually recommend wax or ceramic coating after correction.
Will paint correction fix deep scratches?
Deep scratches that catch your fingernail may require touch-up paint or repainting. However, many moderate scratches are fully correctable. Our certified technicians will inspect your car and advise honestly.
How long does paint correction take at your shop?
Typically 1–3 days depending on vehicle size and paint condition. We’re open Monday–Friday 8am–5:30pm and Saturday 9am–3pm. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you book.
Do you offer discounts for fleet or dealer vehicles?
Yes. We offer dealer special pricing and commercial rates for multiple vehicles. Ask about our discounts for repeat customers and local businesses in Big Bend, WI.
