Mobile Paint Correction Services & Packages

Paint correction is controlled machine polishing that removes a precise amount of clear coat to eliminate swirl marks, water spot etching, buffer trails, and oxidation within the clear coat layer, restoring an optically flat, high-gloss surface.

Level 1 ($399+) is a single finishing polish for light swirls (~60–70% defect reduction). Level 2 ($499+, most popular) adds a compound stage for moderate defects (~85–90%). Level 3 ($599+) is multi-stage correction for heavy defects within safe clear coat limits.

Mobile paint correction starts at $399 for Level 1, $499 for Level 2, and $599 for Level 3 on sedans and compact SUVs. Larger vehicles and post-correction wax, sealant, or ceramic coating are quoted after paint thickness measurement and defect assessment.

Level 1 takes about 2.5 hours. Level 2 takes 4 to 6 hours. Level 3 takes 6 to 10 hours depending on vehicle size and defect severity.

Swirl marks, buffer trails, holograms, water spot etching, light acid etching, UV oxidation, and light surface scratches within the clear coat. Deep scratches through to basecoat need body repair or touch-up first.

Polishing is the technique; paint correction is the measured outcome. Correction uses structured compound and polish stages to hit a specific defect-reduction goal across the vehicle.

Scratches within the clear coat that do not catch your fingernail are correction candidates. If your nail catches, the scratch may have reached basecoat and needs touch-up or body repair before compounding.

A single polish pass removes roughly 0.1 to 0.5 microns. A full multi-stage correction may remove 1 to 3 microns total. We measure thickness before correction so panels with limited clear coat get conservative passes.

If swirl marks, etching, or oxidation are visible, yes. Coating is transparent and locks in whatever is on the paint at application. Our 3-Year and 5-Year ceramic packages include correction appropriate to tier.

Yes, dark paint shows the most dramatic correction results. We select compound and pad based on paint hardness observed during inspection.

Removed defects are gone from the clear coat, but the surface still needs wax, sealant, or ceramic coating the same day to protect the corrected finish from new wash-induced marring.

Minimum: synthetic sealant or wax the same day. Best long-term result: ceramic coating over a freshly IPA-wiped corrected surface.

Yes. RV paint and gel coat, marine gel coat, and motorcycle fairings are corrected with appropriate compounds. RV and boat work is quoted by size and condition.
