Paint Correction in Mississauga
Multi-stage machine polishing that erases swirls, scratches and haze to bring back a mirror-deep finish.
What it does for your car
Bring clarity and depth back to your paint.
Paint correction is the machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots and oxidation from your clear coat to restore a deep, mirror-like gloss. Years of automatic car washes leave a haze of fine scratches and swirl marks that dull your paint under direct light. Paint correction removes them through careful, multi-stage machine polishing.
The result is a flawless, glossy finish with real depth, and the essential first step before any ceramic coating, so imperfections aren't sealed in.

Which option suits me?
One-stage polish
A single polishing stage aimed at improving gloss and reducing lighter defects. Right for paint that is dull or lightly swirled.
Two-stage correction
A cutting stage followed by refining, for paint that needs more extensive improvement before it looks right again.
Pricing
Clear pricing before work begins
Correction is quoted on condition. After inspecting the paint we tell you which stage it needs, what it will cost and what can safely be achieved.

How long we need your vehicle
A one-stage polish is usually a full day; two-stage correction takes one to two days. We confirm the time after inspecting the paint.
What to expect afterward
Freshly corrected paint has no protection of its own, so a sealant or ceramic coating straight after is the usual next step. Wash by hand and avoid automatic brushes.

What it does not do
- Correction removes defects that sit in the clear coat. Deeper damage that goes through it may remain, and we tell you which marks those are at inspection.
- We do not promise a fixed percentage of scratch removal for every vehicle. The result depends on the paint, and we show you what is realistic on your car.
Questions about paint correction
It removes most surface scratches and swirl marks. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail may need touch-up or PPF.
Correction and coating together typically take 1 to 2 days depending on the vehicle and paint condition.
It's strongly recommended, coating protects the freshly corrected finish so the results last.
A one-stage polish uses a single finishing combination to remove light swirls and restore gloss in about a day. A two-stage correction adds a heavier compounding step first for deeper scratches, water spots and oxidation, then refines the finish, and takes one to two days. We inspect under the lights and recommend the stage your paint actually needs.
Vehicle size, paint condition and whether the car needs one or two stages set the price. Because the work is measured in hours under the lights rather than a fixed menu, we inspect the paint first, show you the defects with a light and confirm the cost before any polishing starts.
Yes, when it is measured. We check paint depth with a gauge before and during polishing and remove only the minimum needed to level the defect. That is why we sometimes recommend leaving a deep scratch alone rather than chasing it through the clear coat.
Skip automatic brush washes, use the two-bucket hand wash method with a clean mitt, dry with a soft towel and add protection. A ceramic coating after correction is the most common choice because it makes washing safer and keeps the corrected finish for years.
