Swirl marks, haze and light scratches sit in the clear coat. Machine polishing levels them out, so your paint reflects like a mirror again. One-step and two-step correction, done at your place.
- Swirl marks
- Haze
- Light scratches
- Water spots
- Faded color
What a few years of tunnel washes, dirty towels and sun do to clear coat.
- Depth
- Gloss
- Clarity
- Sharp reflections
- Color that pops
The same paint, leveled and polished until light bounces off it cleanly again.
One step or two?
It depends on how deep the defects are. We’ll look at your paint and tell you which one it needs.
One-step correction
A single polishing stage
- BEST FOR
- Newer cars, light swirls, a serious gloss boost
- TAKES OUT
- Light swirl marks and haze
Two-step correction
Compound first, then polish
- BEST FOR
- Heavier swirls, scratches, dull or oxidized paint
- TAKES OUT
- Deeper defects, then refines the finish to full gloss
Both start with a decontamination wash, clay bar and iron removal, and both finish with protection on top.
The fingernail test
Run a fingernail lightly across the scratch. What you feel tells you whether polishing can take it out.
Your nail glides over it
It’s in the clear coat. Paint correction can usually remove it completely.
Your nail catches
It’s probably through the clear coat. We can make it far less noticeable, but polishing alone won’t erase it, and we’ll tell you that up front.

questions
Don’t see yours? Call or text 773-939-4446.
Is paint correction the same as a wax or buff?
No. Wax fills and hides defects for a few weeks. Correction removes them from the clear coat, so the result stays.
Is it safe for my paint?
Polishing removes a very thin layer of clear coat, so we take only what’s needed and never chase a scratch that’s too deep.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the vehicle and whether it needs one step or two. We’ll give you a time window with your quote.
How do I keep it looking this way?
Hand washes with clean mitts, no brush tunnels, and protection on top. A ceramic coating is the longest-lasting option.
