Paint Correction Services

Paint correction is a specialized process that removes surface imperfections like swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches, and water spots — restoring clarity, depth, and a high-gloss finish. At Elite Shine Detailing Co., we offer two levels of paint correction to match the condition of your vehicle and your desired results.

Whether you're bringing faded paint back to life, preparing for a ceramic coating, or simply want your car to look its absolute best, paint correction is the gold standard in paint restoration.

One-Step Paint Correction – True Gloss Enhancement

Our One-Step Correction is ideal for vehicles with moderate swirling, dull paint, or minor oxidation. This service uses a single-stage machine polish to remove up to 70% of visible defects while significantly improving depth and shine.

Includes:

  • Full hand wash

  • Iron & fallout decontamination

  • Clay bar treatment

  • Single-stage machine polish using a dedicated cutting polish (not AIO)

  • Premium paint sealant

  • Plastic trim rejuvenation

A great option for daily drivers or vehicles needing a dramatic improvement in appearance without a full correction.

Two-Step Paint Correction – Deep Defect Removal

This intensive service is designed for paint with heavier swirling, oxidation, or more noticeable defects. It combines a compounding step to cut deeper imperfections followed by a fine polish to restore high gloss and clarity — removing up to 95% of defects.

Includes:

  • Full hand wash

  • Iron & fallout decontamination

  • Clay bar treatment

  • Machine compounding + final polish (two-stage correction)

  • Premium paint sealant

  • Plastic trim rejuvenation

Recommended for neglected finishes, darker vehicles, or those preparing for ceramic coating or resale.

Paint correction pricing is based on vehicles in average condition. Severely neglected paint, deep scratches, heavy oxidation, or repainted panels may result in an additional charge of $50 to $100, or may require a custom quote or rebooking.

Oversized, modified, or commercial vehicles (including lifted trucks, sprinter vans, duallys, and fleet units) may be subject to additional fees or quoted separately.

All bookings are subject to inspection upon arrival. Elite Shine Detailing Co. reserves the right to adjust pricing, refuse, or reschedule service if the vehicle’s condition does not align with the selected package or if additional work is needed beyond the scope of the booked service.
