Paint Correction in Santa Rosa, CA
Bring back
the gloss.
Remove swirls and scratches and restore a finish that looks new again.
Paint gets worse over time
As we use our vehicles, the paint collects damage — and most of it lives in the clear coat on top.
Washing with dirty mitts, automatic car washes, drying with the wrong towel and everyday grit all leave fine scratches. In sunlight they show up as spider-web swirl marks, haze and dullness that no amount of washing or waxing will remove.
Paint correction is the process of carefully machine-polishing the clear coat to level out those defects, so light reflects cleanly again. The result is deeper gloss, sharper reflections and a finish that looks like new. It's one of those things where we let the before-and-after photos do the talking.
Common defects we correct
Swirl marks
The circular web of fine scratches you see under sunlight or shop lights.
Light scratches
Surface scratches in the clear coat from brushes, bags, keys and daily use.
Haze & dullness
Oxidized, cloudy or tired-looking paint that has lost its depth.
Water spots & marring
Etching and marks left behind by hard water and improper drying.
Scratches that go through the clear coat into the color or primer can't be fully polished out. We'll look at your car in person and tell you honestly what correction can and can't do — and if paint work is the better answer, we work with a painter who has 40+ years of experience.
