Jay’s Paint Correction Process
Paint correction is all about getting your car’s finish looking great. Here’s the step-by-step process I follow to handle scratches, swirls, and dull spots the right way.
1. Wash and Decontaminate
The first step is getting the car completely clean. I hand wash the paint and remove any dirt, grime, or contaminants that could interfere with the correction process. A clean surface ensures the work goes without a hitch and prevents new scratches from forming during the process.
2. Inspect the Paint
Next, I carefully examine the paint under proper lighting to see where scratches, swirl marks, and dull areas are. This inspection helps me determine which level of correction is needed to get the best results without overworking the paint.
3. Clay Bar Treatment
If necessary, I use a clay bar to remove stubborn particles that washing alone can’t get rid of. This step ensures the surface is pristine before polishing, which is key for an exceptional finish.
4. Leveling the Paint
Using the appropriate polish and machine, I work through the paint to minimize scratches, swirls, and imperfections. Each panel gets the attention it needs so the finish is even, glossy, and consistent.
5. Clean and Prepare for Coating
After the correction is done, I clean the surface to remove any leftover polish or residue. This makes the paint ready for a ceramic coating or film, or it can stand on its own.

Paint Correction Service FAQs
1. What is paint correction?
Paint correction is the process of leveling out scratches, swirl marks, and dull areas in your car’s paint. It brings out the depth and shine in the finish so your car looks clean and polished without changing the color or finish.
2. How long does paint correction take?
The time depends on the condition of your paint and the level of correction needed. Smaller jobs can take a couple hours while multi stage corrections can take anywhere from 25-60 hours to ensure every section is treated properly.
3. Will it remove all scratches?
Most scratches and swirl marks can be minimized or removed completely, but very deep damage may not disappear entirely. I focus on getting the paint as smooth and consistent as possible while protecting the integrity of the surface.
4. Can I wash my car normally after paint correction?
Yes, you can wash your car like usual, but using gentle soap and microfiber towels is best. That helps keep the finish glossy without introducing new scratches or swirl marks.
5. Should paint correction be done before ceramic coating or film?
Absolutely. Correcting the paint first makes sure the surface is ready for ceramic coating or film. This step ensures the coating or film adheres properly and looks its best.
What Vehicles Benefit From Paint Correction?
Paint correction isn’t just for show cars. Any vehicle can look sharper and cleaner with the right attention to its finish.
Everyday Drivers
Even cars that see daily use can develop swirl marks, light scratches, and dull spots from washing, road debris, and exposure to the elements. Paint correction helps smooth out imperfections so your ride looks cared for, even if it’s your daily driver.
Older Vehicles
As cars age, paint can lose its shine and develop fine scratches or blemishes. A paint correction can bring back the depth and gloss to older paint, giving it a fresh, well-maintained appearance.
Luxury and High-End Cars
Luxury cars and high-end vehicles often have paint that shows imperfections more easily. Paint correction helps highlight the quality of the finish and ensures the vehicle looks crisp and refined.
New Vehicles
Even brand-new cars can benefit from paint correction. Factory paint can have minor blemishes or swirl marks from shipping and detailing, and correcting these early sets a clean, smooth foundation for ceramic coating or film.
