We Help You Understand the Paint Correction Process


There is no easy way to avoid defects and discrepancies in your vehicle’s clear coat. Coming from a variety of sources, such as road debris, poor washing techniques, or exposure to the elements in the state of Ohio, the likes of swirls, scrapes, nicks, scratches, and scuffs are not permanent issues! At PWP Detailing, we have an exceptional solution with our paint correction services. Specializing in correcting these defects and discrepancies, we are known for bringing a new, revised look to your vehicle's paint, enhancing its overall appearance. More notably, we require paint correction to be done before we provide our PPF and ceramic coating packages so they look and function best.

How PWP Detailing Corrects Your Vehicle’s Paint with Paint Correction


When your vehicle arrives at PWP Detailing, our first step is a comprehensive inspection of its finish. But even before that, we have to clear previous contamination from it with a brief exterior detailing service. This combination allows us to determine the extent of the defects and the level of paint correction your vehicle will need from us. Whether your vehicle is brand new or has seen years of regular use, we tailor our paint correction process to meet its specific needs. This is why we do not have firm paint correction packages but rather, we have custom-tailored services. Each process targets a range of surface imperfections all determined by our expert team. This sets up your ride for success from our other protection and enhancement packages.

Explaining the Levels of Paint Correction


PWP Detailing offers different levels of paint correction based on the condition of your vehicle’s paint and the results you are looking to achieve. Each level provides specific benefits, and we recommend the appropriate one based on our initial inspection.

One-Step Paint Correction

Our one-step paint correction service is perfect for newer vehicles or those with minor imperfections. This level of correction focuses on light swirl marks and surface scratches, giving your vehicle a noticeable shine and gloss enhancement. It is ideal for vehicles that are relatively new or have been well-maintained but still need a refresh to remove light defects and enhance the overall appearance.

Two-Step Paint Correction

A two-step paint correction process involves a more intensive approach. It starts with a cutting process to remove medium-level scratches, swirl marks, and surface oxidation, followed by a polishing step to bring out the shine and smoothness in the paint. This level is recommended for vehicles that have seen more wear and tear or those that have deeper surface defects. The result is a dramatic improvement in the clarity and gloss of the paint, making it look nearly new again.

Three-Step Paint Correction

Our most comprehensive service is the three-step paint correction, designed for vehicles with more severe yet completely fixable paint defects. This level targets deep scratches, heavy swirl marks, significant oxidation, and other serious imperfections. The first step is a heavy-cutting process to remove the most severe defects, followed by two additional polishing steps that refine and enhance the paint’s gloss and smoothness. This level of correction is perfect for vehicles that have not been detailed in years or have suffered significant wear. The result is a high-gloss, showroom-quality finish you cannot get any other way.

Common Questions About Our Paint Correction Services


  • Why is paint correction needed before getting a ceramic coating or paint protection film?

    Paint correction is essential before applying ceramic coatings or installing paint protection film to a vehicle because it ensures the surface is smooth and free from defects. Any imperfections left on the paint will be sealed in by the ceramic coating or PPF, compromising the overall appearance. By correcting the paint first, PWP Detailing creates a flawless surface that maximizes the benefits of the coating or film, providing both better protection and a more polished look.

  • How do I know which paint correction service is best for my vehicle?

    At PWP Detailing, we understand that every vehicle is unique. As a result, we only offer different, custom levels of paint correction. During our inspection, we assess the condition of your vehicle’s paint and provide a recommendation based on the type and severity of defects present. Whether you need a light refresh or a more intensive correction, we will guide you to the best option to restore your vehicle’s paint to its best possible condition.

  • Will paint correction damage my paint?

    No, paint correction will not damage your vehicle’s paint whatsoever. When done by a professional team like those at PWP Detailing, you get the results you need! Our trained paint correction technicians use safe and effective techniques to remove surface defects without compromising the integrity of the paint. We use advanced cutting, buffing, and polishing compounds coupled with state-of-the-art equipment to carefully enhance the paint’s finish. We only work on your clear coat, never touching your original paint.
