AUTO PAINT CORRECTION (aka Buffing or Polishing)

Bring back color depth & shine — make your paint look vibrant and rich again

Erase swirls, micro-scratches & haze — makes the surface smoother and more uniform

Better protection & easier maintenance — polished surfaces hold waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings more effectively

Improve resale appeal — a clean, defect-free exterior adds perceived value

Overall pride in your ride — enjoy looking at and driving a car that looks its best

We break paint correction into stages. Each additional pass is more aggressive, more time-consuming, and better suited to deeper defects — but with greater risk if done incorrectly. We’ll recommend the appropriate level based on your paint condition, goals, and budget.

Enhancer 1-Stage Paint Correction

Best for: Newer paint finishes with modest light swirl marks, wash marring, mild haze defects

• Involves a single polishing pass using a moderate abrasive compound and a machine polishing pad
• Removes superficial defects while maintaining safe clear coat thickness
• Offers a noticeable gloss boost and smoother feel

Revive 2-Stage Paint Correction

Best for:  Moderate swirl marks, light scratches, uneven finish

• Stage 1: more aggressive compound + pad to remove deeper defects
• Stage 2: refined polish to clean up haze, restore clarity, and refine gloss
• Balances defect removal with final finish quality
• Common choice for many cars that need more than just light polishing

Showroom 3-Stage Paint Correction / Color Sanding (Wet Sanding)

Best for:  Heavily damaged paint, deep swirl damage, etched surfaces, or “near-mint” show car goals

• Stage 1: wet sanding (color sanding) to level micro high spots (using very fine abrasives)
• Stage 2: heavier polishing to remove sanding marks
• Stage 3: refining polish to restore gloss and clarity
• Requires precise skill and experience — improper sanding or compounding can cause damage
• Produces the highest clarity and most dramatic transformation

Note on Color Sanding / Wet Sanding: This technique carefully uses ultra-fine abrasives (often 2,000–3,000 grit or finer) to flatten the microscopic surface before polishing. It’s typically reserved for high-end or show-quality jobs where the owner wants the ultimate finish.
