Paint Correction and Swirl Mark Removal in Northern Virginia
Quoted on site — bundled with ceramic from $799
Tunnel car washes and automatic brushes leave thousands of micro-scratches in your clear coat — the swirl marks that make a car look dull under the sun. Paint correction is the machine compounding and polishing process that levels the clear coat to remove those defects and restore a mirror, candy-gloss finish.
We assess your paint thickness, then work through single or two-stage correction with dual-action polishers and finishing pads, removing most swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Paint correction is the foundation of any ceramic coating and is also available as a standalone gloss restoration for vehicles that are not yet ready for a full coating job.
- Paint depth measurement and defect mapping before we start
- Single or 2-stage dual-action machine compounding and polishing
- Swirl mark, light scratch, water-spot, and oxidation removal
- Jewel finishing for maximum color depth and reflection
- Available standalone or bundled with ceramic coating
- Performed in your driveway or garage with our own power

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How much of the damage can you remove?
We typically remove most swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Deep clear-coat failures that go through the paint cannot be polished out, which is why we inspect and measure your paint first.
Q:Should I get paint correction or go straight to ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating locks in whatever finish is underneath it, so correcting the paint first gives the best result. Our $799 ceramic special already includes single-stage paint correction, so most drivers choose the bundle.
Q:Do you bring your own power for the polishers?
Yes — our vans carry onboard generators, so the machine correction is done in your driveway or garage with no electrical hookup needed.
