Paint correction is the process of removing minor scratches and imperfections found in the vehicles clear coat. Using an electric polisher, a microfiber buffing pad, and a special "cutting" compound (extremely fine abrasive), the detailer will "cut" into the clear coat of a vehicle’s paint till the scratches are leveled or removed.
Paint Correction, also referred to as Polishing, involves using a series of very fine abrasive compounds to remove minor scratches and imperfections in your cars clear coat.
These fine scratches in your paints clear coat are responsible for the notorious "swirls" you see when sunlight reflects off your vehicle. These "swirls" are not actually circular scratches, but rather, they are just random scratches that appear as almost holographic swirls when reflecting a point source of light such as the sun, or as seen here, the shop lights.
This process also naturally removes all of the oxidation on the surface of your clear coat that dulls the exterior of your vehicle. Depending on the degree of damage, we may have to start with a more aggressive compound to "cut" deeper into the clear coat (sometimes even using fine sand paper), and follow up with another one of two finer "cuts" to restore the gloss of your clear coat.
The result is a gloss and shine that in many cases exceeds the one you remember when your vehicle came off the factory floor (see the before and after pictures below). In fact, many of our customers bring their brand-new vehicles in for a Polish to remove any minor imperfections from the factory prior to receiving a ceramic coating. If you are considering a ceramic coating for your older vehicle, it is wise to consider a paint correction prior to doing so.
The staff at the works is beyond extraordinary. The attention to detail, to the range of flexibility, to match with honest prices makes this the home for all of my car care needs.

Great attention to detail, great quality work, and super easy to work with. Scheduling is always pleasant and they...
Love this place! Did a great job for a great price.
I took my kids high school car to them to get that high school smell out of it. They did such a good job, I am taking all my cars here. I saw a bunch of high end expensive cars they were working on and I appreciate they spent the same quality of service on my kids high school car they were spending on a Porshe that was next to it. They didn't...
