What is paint correction
Remove the defects instead of hiding them
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process that carefully levels the clear coat to remove swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches and other surface imperfections. Unlike a wax or glaze that only fills defects for a few weeks, correction takes them out, bringing back a deep, mirror-like shine.
Most of these defects come from everyday driving: automatic car washes, dry wiping, the wrong drying towels and the Texas sun. Over time they leave the paint looking hazy and dull, with spider-web swirls that show up under direct light.
