PAINT CORRECTION
Paint Correction in York, PA
Swirl marks, water spots, and dull, hazy paint aren't dirt. They're tiny scratches in your clear coat, so no wash will take them out. Paint correction machine-polishes them away and brings back real gloss. David does it at your home, in two levels, depending on how far your paint needs to go.
THE PROBLEM
WHAT PAINT CORRECTION REMOVES
Swirl Marks
Those spiderweb circles you see in direct sun, usually from automatic car washes and dirty towels.
Water Spots
Mineral rings left behind when hard water dries on the paint.
Haze and Dullness
Paint that looks flat and tired, even right after a wash.
Light Scratches
Surface marks in the clear coat. (Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail may only improve, not disappear.)

An exterior detail is required and is not included in the correction price. Paint has to be fully washed and decontaminated before it can be polished.
THE PROCESS
HOW CORRECTION WORKS
Inspect
David checks the paint under bright light to see what's there and how deep it goes.
Wash & Decontaminate
A full exterior detail, with iron remover and a clay bar, so nothing gets ground into the paint.
Tape Off
Trim, rubber, and badges are taped so the polisher never touches them.
Compound (2 step only)
A cutting compound removes the deeper swirls and defects.
Polish
A finishing polish refines the paint to high gloss.
Protect
A 6-month ceramic sealant goes on paint, headlights, and taillights to lock in the finish.
PRO TIP
CORRECT FIRST, THEN COAT
A ceramic coating is clear. It locks in whatever is underneath, including the good and the bad. If you coat swirled paint, you're protecting swirls for years. That's why David's best results come from paint correction followed by a ceramic coating: perfect paint, then years of protection on top. Ask about pairing them when you book.
