Paint Correction.
Precision machine polishing to safely level your vehicle's clear coat—permanently eliminating swirl marks, spiderwebbing, buffer trails, oxidation, and water spots.
Restore Your Paint Before You Protect It.
Whether your vehicle has minor swirls, moderate scratches, or years of paint damage, our correction services bring the finish back to life — before any protection is applied. Every package includes a thorough wash and decontamination. Final scope confirmed after inspection.
QCD Paint Enhancement
Your paint has life left in it — it just needs the right attention. Our 1-step machine polish removes light swirls, water spots, and surface haze, restoring clarity and depth to your finish. Targeting up to 50–70% visible defect improvement where safely achievable, this is the ideal upgrade path before a ceramic coating.
- Full hand wash
- Chemical & mechanical decontamination
- 1-step machine polish
- Protective finish coat
Approximate service time: ~6 hours
Does not include ceramic coating. Pair with any ceramic package for full protection.
QCD Paint Correction
Designed for vehicles with moderate to heavy swirls, deeper scratches, or paint that needs real work — not just a polish. Our 2-step process uses a cutting compound to remove deeper defects, followed by a finishing polish to maximize gloss and clarity. The result is paint that looks the way it was meant to.
- Full hand wash
- Chemical & mechanical decontamination
- Compound stage (cut)
- Finishing polish stage
- Protective finish coat
Approximate service time: ~12–15 hours
Does not include ceramic coating. Pair with any ceramic package for full protection.
QCD Advanced Paint Restoration

Every Advanced Restoration is scoped after a full inspection under proper lighting with paint thickness measurements. A written quote is provided before any work begins.
- Full hand wash
- Multi-stage decontamination
- Custom multi-stage machine correction sequence
- Protective finish coat
- Written estimate provided prior to work
Approximate service time: ~20–25+ hours (varies by scope)
Final price depends on vehicle condition and scope. Booking requires a pre-service inspection.
Defects We Safely Remove
We measure clear coat depth using digital paint gauges before machine polishing to ensure safe, responsible defect removal.
Swirl Marks & Spiderwebbing
Microscopic circular scratches caused by automatic car wash brushes, dirty sponges, and dry wiping.
Haze & Holograms
Buffer trails left by inexperienced detailers using rotary polishers without proper finishing pads.
Etched Water Spots
Mineral deposits baked into clear coat by hot sun after sprinkler or rain water dries.
Oxidation & Dullness
UV degradation that causes dark paints to look gray or chalky instead of deep and reflective.
Light Scratches & Scuffs
Clear-coat scratches from fingernails around door handles, bushes, or accidental contact.
Bird Dropping & Sap Etching
Acidic environmental chemical burns that leave cloudy rings in the clear coat finish.
Paint Correction Is NOT Paint Protection
Paint correction levels the clear coat to restore reflection and clarity. However, once corrected, the bare clear coat remains vulnerable to new scratches and environmental etching unless protected with Ceramic Coating or Icon Rocklear.
