Paint Correction Portland Level 1
Eliminate Paint Flaws to Display the Gloss
Paint correction is a great way to make your car look brand new, and stage/level 1 paint correction can help remove up to 70 - 75% of swirls and scratches.
What does it do?
If you’ve ever taken your car through an automatic car wash, you know that the brushes can leave swirl marks and scratches in your paint. Those are just a few of the things that can happen when your car gets dirty. In fact, even if you don’t drive on dirt roads or through parking lots with gravel, your car can still get scratched or scuffed up by other road debris or rocks in the road.
When you take your car to get repainted, they’ll buff out those scratches and swirls and make your car look like new again. But what if you don’t want to pay $1000+ dollars just to have someone else fix the paint on your car? What if there were another way?
Well, now there is! With Squeegee’s paint correction services (Level 1), we can buff out those scratches and swirls so that they disappear without having to go through all of the hassles of getting them repainted. Not only will this save money but it’ll also save time—no more waiting weeks for an appointment at the body shop!
Paint Correction Level 2
Get Rid of the Swirls to Increase Gloss and Clarity in Your Paint
Our Level 2 paint correction service aims to eliminate up to 85% of your paint's swirls, scratches, and other flaws. To maximize the shine and clarity of your paintwork, we perform a 2-step correction at this point, which involves intensive cutting and polishing.
Depending on your health, certain scratches won't be completely visible whether the car is new or not. It's possible that the scratches are too deep to properly remove or that the clear coat is thinning down (we'll measure the paint before we begin).
Here, we will properly assess what we can safely remove from your paint. It's not only about getting rid of as many flaws as possible. To maintain the integrity of the paint and keep it within healthy working limits, it's also important to know when enough is enough.
And yes, even 4 months after leaving the dealership, the paint on newer cars may still need a 2-step correction service. Even though you've only possessed the car for a short while, it has been moved and handled by numerous persons for a long time (in many different places).
The vehicle is moved, transported, cleaned, stored, etc. during this time. It comes as no surprise that all makes and models of vehicles have significant swirls and flaws when they leave the showroom.
You are committing to the car by getting Level 2 paint correction. After the service is finished, you must properly maintain the vehicle if you want to keep the shine on your paint. In just a few washes, you can easily bring all those swirls and scratches back into your paint if you don't properly wash and dry the car.
Our Level 1 polishing or Wash and Wax is also a fantastic alternative if you're selling your car and want to prepare the paint for potential purchasers

FAQs: Squeegee’s Paint Correction
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
Absolutely! For all automobiles, we provide a 3, 6, and 9-year ceramic coating (at an additional price). You are also free to stick with the more conventional wax or sealant.
Do you come to me?
Yes, we’re a fully-contained mobile detailing unit. We can perform the wash at your home or apartment. All we need is a water spout and electrical outlet to perform the detail on your car.
We also service all of Portland, Lake Oswego, Bethany, Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, and Vancouver, WA areas. We can even expand to further areas, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
How long do the results last?
This is an "it depends" type of response. It all depends on how well you keep the car once the paint has been polished. You can easily return to square one in a matter of weeks if you wash it in a $5 car wash.
When you wash and dry your car properly, the results will last far longer than when you wash it with a dirty towel and water.
Maintenance plan?
Keeping your car clean all the time can end up being a long process. Let Squeegee take care of that for you with our maintenance packages! We offer weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and quarterly maintenance plans. Just reach out to 971-895-2003 or email support@squeegeedetail.com for more info.
