Paint Correction in the Tri-Cities

1-step correction uses a single polishing stage to remove moderate defects — ideal for newer vehicles with light to moderate imperfections. 2-step correction uses both cutting and polishing stages to remove deeper swirls and scratches, perfect for older vehicles or paint with heavier damage.

Paint correction can remove or significantly reduce scratches that haven't penetrated through the clear coat. Deep scratches that reach the base coat or primer cannot be fully removed through polishing alone and may require touch-up paint or repainting. We'll always be upfront about what's achievable.

The results are permanent for the defects removed, but new scratches and swirl marks can develop over time through washing and normal wear. We highly recommend adding ceramic coating to maintain the corrected finish and prevent new defects.

Yes, when performed by trained professionals using proper techniques and equipment. We use progressive polishing methods to safely remove only the necessary amount of clear coat to achieve the desired results.

Because correction is only as good as the light you can see the defect in. Our Kennewick bays are set up with controlled lighting, so swirls and holograms are caught and levelled properly rather than hidden by sunshine or shadow. That is the difference between paint that looks corrected and paint that is.

We highly recommend it! Ceramic coating bonds to your freshly corrected paint, providing long-term protection against UV rays, oxidation, and contamination. It also makes future maintenance easier and helps preserve your paint correction investment for years.
