What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a professional polishing process that removes imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat — such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, haze, holograms, and dull paint. Unlike basic waxing or polishing, true paint correction actually levels the clear coat, eliminating defects rather than hiding them.
Using specialized machines, professional lighting, cutting compounds, and multi-stage polishing techniques, paint correction restores depth, clarity, and gloss — bringing back a smooth, mirror-like finish.
In simple terms:
Paint correction removes damage from your paint and restores the shine your vehicle used to have — or better.
1-Step vs. 2-Step Paint Correction
1-Step Paint Correction
A 1-step correction uses a single polishing stage to remove light defects and enhance overall gloss.
It’s ideal for vehicles with minor imperfections such as:
-
Light swirl marks
-
Light surface haze
-
Mild oxidation
-
Dull or faded paint
This process improves clarity and shine, leaving the paint noticeably brighter — without the time or cost of a full multi-stage correction.
Best for well-maintained vehicles or newer cars.
2-Step Paint Correction
A 2-step correction uses two polishing stages for deeper restoration:
Step 1: A cutting compound removes moderate to heavy defects
Step 2: A finishing polish refines the paint to a high-gloss, mirror-like finish
This process targets:
-
Moderate to deep swirl marks
-
Scratches
-
Heavy oxidation
-
Holograms and buffer trails
-
Dull or heavily neglected paint
A 2-step delivers maximum clarity and the most dramatic transformation, often making paint look better than new.
Which One Should You Choose?
If your car has light defects, a 1-step is perfect.
If your paint has visible scratches, swirls, oxidation, or dullness, a 2-step is the recommended option for true restoration.
Why Paint Correction Is Worth It?
Paint correction isn’t just about looks — it’s an investment in your car’s health and value.
-
🧼 Restores paint clarity and gloss
-
🛡️ Prepares surface for ceramic coating or wax
-
💸 Increases resale and trade-in value
-
🌦️ Prevents oxidation and UV damage
-
🚗 Revives pride of ownership
Once correction is complete, UFO Detailing recommends protecting the finish with a ceramic coating to lock in the results for years.
Swirl and Scratch Removal
Swirls and scratches are some of the most common paint defects — caused by automatic car washes, improper washing techniques, dirty towels, snow brushes, and everyday wear. These marks dull your paint, reduce gloss, and create a hazy, damaged appearance under sunlight.
Our professional swirl and scratch removal process uses advanced polishing techniques, cutting compounds, and professional lighting to safely eliminate these defects from your clear coat. We remove:
-
Light to moderate swirl marks
-
Surface scratches
-
Micro-scratches from car washes
-
Haze and dullness
-
Buffer trails and holograms
By leveling the surface and refining the paint, we restore a deep, reflective, mirror-like finish that makes your vehicle look dramatically better.
If your paint looks “spider-webbed” in the sun, swirl and scratch removal is exactly what it needs.
Our Process
Our paint correction process is designed to deliver maximum gloss, clarity, and defect removal with professional precision. Every vehicle receives a careful, step-by-step approach to ensure the safest and most effective results.
1. Detailed Wash & Decontamination
We begin with a deep exterior wash, iron remover, and clay bar treatment to eliminate dirt, brake dust, and bonded contaminants that interfere with correction.
2. Paint Inspection Under Professional Lighting
Using specialized lighting, we identify swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, holograms, and other defects to determine the ideal correction method.
3. Machine Polishing (1-Step or 2-Step)
Depending on your paint’s condition, we perform a 1-step or 2-step correction to safely remove defects and restore depth, gloss, and clarity.
4. Refining & Gloss Enhancement
We refine the surface with a finishing polish to create a smooth, mirror-like shine with maximum reflectivity.
5. Panel Prep & Wipe Down
A professional-grade prep solution removes polishing oils, ensuring a true finish and perfect clarity.
6. Final Inspection & Protection Option
We inspect the paint from multiple angles to guarantee a flawless result.
Clients can also upgrade with ceramic coating for long-term protection and gloss retention.
⭐ The Result:
A smooth, glossy, defect-free finish that dramatically improves your vehicle’s appearance — and keeps it shining longer
