From a one-step enhancement to full multi-stage show-level correction — matched to your paint's condition, not upsold.

Multi-Stage Show Correction
3+ step wet-sanding, compounding and refining for concours-level clarity on classics, exotics and show vehicles.

Every ceramic coating we install starts with proper paint correction — coating locks in whatever is under it.
Swirl-Free Guarantee
We finish-polish with soft foam pads under LED swirl inspection — no hologram marks, no hazing.
The Phoenix Reality
Why AZ Paint Needs Correction
Automatic car washes, monsoon dust wiped off dry, hard water and desert sun add up fast. Most Phoenix vehicles have visible swirls and etching within a year — even well-cared-for ones.
- Removes swirls, spider webbing and buffer trails
- Erases hard-water spots and light acid etching
- Restores true reflection and depth of color
- Mandatory prep before any long-term coating

Paint Correction FAQs
How much does paint correction cost in Phoenix?
Single-stage enhancement typically runs $450–$650, two-stage correction $700–$1,200, and multi-stage show-level correction $1,500+. Pricing depends on paint condition, vehicle size and defect severity.
How long does paint correction take?
A single-stage enhancement is usually 1 day. Two-stage corrections take 1–2 days. Multi-stage show corrections can take 3–5 days depending on paint condition.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
Anything you can catch a fingernail in is too deep for polishing — those need touch-up or repaint. Swirls, water spots, buffer trails and light scratches almost always come out.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
Absolutely. Ceramic coating locks in the paint condition underneath. Skipping correction means sealing swirls and defects in for years.
Is paint correction safe for my clear coat?
In trained hands, yes. We measure paint thickness before starting and use the least-aggressive pad and compound combination that gets the job done.
