Paint correction in Abbotsford, BC.
Remove swirls, haze and light scratches to reveal the true depth of your paint.
Defects removed, not covered up.
Under the sun or a gas station light, most cars show a web of fine swirl marks. They come from automatic washes, dirty towels and everyday wear, and no amount of wax will hide them for long. Paint correction removes them for good.
Using machine polishers and professional compounds, we carefully level a microscopic layer of clear coat to take out defects instead of covering them up. The result is crisp, mirror-like reflections and colour that looks deeper and richer. We do it all in your driveway, anywhere in Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley.

We polish a small section first to find the safest combination that delivers the result.

Questions about paint correction.
Or call (236) 333-9814
What is paint correction?
It is the process of machine polishing the clear coat to remove swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and oxidation, restoring gloss and clarity.
Can you remove every scratch?
Not always. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it is likely through the clear coat and may need touch-up or paint repair. We'll tell you honestly what can be fixed.
Is paint correction safe for my car?
Yes, when done properly. We measure paint thickness and remove only what's needed, typically a few microns.
How long does paint correction last?
The correction is permanent. New swirls come from how the car is washed afterward, which is why we recommend protection and safe washing.
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?
We highly recommend it. Coating locks in the corrected finish and makes it far more resistant to new swirls. See Ceramic Coating.
Can this be done at my home?
Yes. We need a shaded or covered spot, ideally a garage, since sun and wind affect polishing.
