Why Portland Drivers Choose Our Paint Correction Services
Level 1 Paint Correction
Portland's rain, road grime, tree sap, and UV rays destroy clear coats fast, creating swirl marks and dulling even newer vehicles.
We deliver true paint correction that safely removes 70 - 75% of scratches, swirls, and oxidation through multi-stage leveling, without thinning your clear coat.
Unlike "polish & wax" that just masks flaws, our process assesses your paint's color, condition, and hardness for tailored, lasting results.
Fully mobile, no drop-off needed. We bring pro-grade dual-action polishers, LED inspection lights, and certified compounds right to your home or office. High-end correction where your car is parked.
Level 2 Paint Correction
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

Paint correction dramatically improves how your vehicle looks by eliminating swirl marks, dullness, and oxidation. The result is a smooth, reflective finish that makes your car look years newer.
Perfect Foundation for Other Services
Paint correction is the ideal prep step before full exterior detailing or ceramic coating, ensuring maximum visual impact and longevity.
Improved Paint Protection
There's something incredibly satisfying about By removing damaged clear coat and smoothing the surface, paint correction allows protective products to bond more effectively. This helps shield your paint from Portland’s rain, road grime, and environmental contaminants.
