Paint Correction
Machine polishing to refine your vehicle's clear coat — reducing defects and restoring gloss, clarity, and colour depth.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process used to remove or reduce defects in a vehicle's clear coat. Depending on the condition of the paint, the process can improve swirl marks, oxidation, haze, etching, micro-marring, and certain scratches while restoring gloss and clarity.
Stage One Paint Correction
$550
Stage One uses a heavier cutting process to address noticeable swirl marks, oxidation, etching, and deeper surface defects. The goal is to level and improve the clear coat while restoring a more uniform finish across the vehicle.
- Vehicle wash and surface preparation
- Paint inspection
- Heavy-cut polishing stage
- Improvement of swirl marks and oxidation
- Gloss restoration
- Final inspection
Stage Two Paint Correction
$775
Stage Two combines defect removal with a refining stage. The first stage addresses deeper imperfections, while the second stage reduces haze, micro-marring, and remaining swirl marks to produce greater clarity and gloss.
- Vehicle wash and surface preparation
- Paint inspection
- Initial correction stage
- Refining-polish stage
- Improved clarity and reflection
- Final inspection
Stage Three Paint Correction
$1,150
Stage Three is WashMe's most extensive paint-correction service. It combines heavier correction, refinement, and a fine finishing polish to maximize gloss, clarity, colour depth, and reflection.
- Vehicle wash and surface preparation
- Detailed paint inspection
- Heavy correction stage
- Refining stage
- Fine finishing polish
- Final panel inspection
Not every scratch can be removed safely. Scratches that extend through the clear coat may only be reduced in appearance. WashMe will prioritize the long-term safety of the paint rather than remove excessive clear coat. Final results depend on paint thickness, previous repairs, paint condition, and defect depth.
