A polish (enhancement)
A single-stage polish — our Level 1 Enhancement — refreshes gloss and reduces up to ~70% of light defects. It doesn't remove deep defects, but it dramatically improves appearance for paint that's already in good shape. It's faster and more affordable.
Paint correction
True correction is multi-stage. We compound to remove deeper defects, then refine panel-by-panel to eliminate the compounding haze. Our Level 2 targets ~80–89% defect removal; Level 3 reaches ~90–96% for maximum clarity.
How to choose
- Polish if your paint has light swirls and you want a gloss refresh — especially before a coating.
- Correction if your paint has visible swirls, water spots, or moderate scratches you want genuinely removed.
The inspection rule
We always inspect clear-coat thickness first. Correction removes a small amount of clear coat — we won't recommend a level that risks your paint. Whatever we do, correction is the ideal preparation before ceramic coating or PPF, because it locks in the finish underneath.
