Overview
What it is, and why it matters here
Swirl marks are thousands of fine scratches in the clear coat, usually from automatic car washes and dry-wiping dust. Polishing levels the clear coat a tiny amount so light reflects evenly again.
A one-step enhancement uses a single polish to remove light defects and restore depth. A two-step correction cuts with a compound first, then refines with a polish, for heavier swirls and haze. We measure paint thickness before we start and never chase a scratch that is too deep to remove safely.

The process
How we do a paint correction
Wash and decontaminate
Correction always starts on a perfectly clean, clayed surface. A wash is required with every correction.
Inspect and measure
We check the paint with a swirl-finder light and a thickness gauge, then test a small section to pick pads and polish.
Compound and polish
Panel by panel, under shade and with a portable canopy if needed, so polish never bakes on hot paint.
Protect
Polished paint should be protected. We finish with a sealant, or move straight to a ceramic coating.

FAQ
Paint Correction questions
Will it remove every scratch?
Not always. If a scratch catches your fingernail it is likely through the clear coat. We will show you what can safely improve before we start.
One-step or two-step?
If your paint looks good in shade but swirly in sun, a one-step usually does it. Heavy haze, water-spot etching or deep swirls need a two-step.
Can you polish outdoors in summer?
We polish in garages, carports or under our canopy, and book early slots from June to September. We will not polish on hot panels.
