The Experts in Paint Correction
Paint correction is a meticulous process designed to restore and enhance the appearance of your vehicle’s paintwork. Over time, your car’s exterior can accumulate imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots. These defects can dull the finish and diminish your vehicle’s overall appearance.
Through the use of professional-grade tools, polishing compounds, and specialized techniques, paint correction carefully removes these imperfections by leveling the clear coat or paint surface. The result is a smoother, clearer, and more reflective finish that restores your car’s original brilliance.
Paint correction is ideal for vehicle owners who want to:
- Eliminate visible defects in their paint.
- Revitalize their car’s shine and depth of color.
- Prepare their vehicle for additional protection, such as ceramic coatings.
Performed by skilled professionals, paint correction not only improves the appearance of your vehicle but also helps maintain its value and showcase its true beauty.
01
Restores Gloss and Depth
Paint correction eliminates imperfections like swirl marks and scratches, allowing your vehicle’s paint to shine like new. It enhances the depth and clarity of your car’s color, giving it a rich, glossy finish that truly stands out.
02
Maintains and Enhances Vehicle Value
A flawless, well-maintained paint job can significantly increase the resale value of your vehicle. Paint correction not only improves the aesthetic appeal of your car but also helps preserve its condition, making it a smart investment for future resale.
03
Increases Paint Protection
By removing surface contaminants and imperfections, paint correction prepares your car’s paint for better protection. A smooth, clean surface allows for more effective application of wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings, ensuring longer-lasting protection against environmental damage.

OAX Car Detailing Paint Correction FAQ

The time it takes to complete paint correction depends on the condition of your vehicle’s paint and the level of correction needed. Generally, it can take anywhere from 3 to 20 hours, depending on the severity of the imperfections and the size of the vehicle.
Paint correction is typically a one-time process unless new imperfections develop. Regular maintenance such as washing your vehicle carefully and applying protective coatings can help maintain the finish and reduce the need for frequent corrections.
- Maintenance Detail: Every 2-4 weeks to keep your car fresh.
- Full Detail: Every 3-6 months for a deep clean and long-lasting protection.
- Royal Detail: Once a year or as needed for a complete restoration.
If you park outdoors frequently or have kids, pets, or heavy use, more frequent detailing is beneficial.
While paint correction can improve the appearance of dull or faded paint, it is not a permanent solution to fading caused by UV damage. In some cases, a more extensive restoration or repainting may be necessary if the paint has been significantly damaged by the sun.
Paint correction can help minimize the appearance of deep scratches, but it may not fully remove them if they have penetrated the clear coat. In cases of very deep damage, additional repair work may be necessary before performing paint correction.
