Tony’s Paint Correction Process

5 Steps to Paint Perfection

  • 1. Inspection and honest game plan

    Tony starts by checking your paint in proper lighting to see what he’s working with. Swirls, haze, light scratches, water spots, and previous bad polishing jobs all show up here. He’ll walk you through what he sees, explain what can be improved, and set real expectations, so you know exactly what the plan is before any machine touches your paint.

  • 2. Thorough wash and decontamination

    Clean paint is non-negotiable. Tony gives your vehicle a careful wash, then removes bonded contaminants like overspray, road grime, and rough particles that a normal wash leaves behind. This helps the polishes work better, prevents extra scratching, and gives him a smooth, honest surface to correct.

  • 3. Test spot to dial it in

    Every vehicle’s paint reacts differently, so Tony runs a test spot to see what pad and polish combo gives the best results without being too aggressive. Once he locks in the winning combo, he uses that as the blueprint for the rest of the car. This step keeps the process efficient and consistent from panel to panel.

  • 4. Machine polishing for real correction

    This is where the magic happens. Using professional polishers, pads, and compounds, Tony carefully works panel by panel to level out light defects and bring back clarity. He takes his time, checks his work, and wipes down panels to make sure he’s seeing true results. It’s real correction, not just filling in marks that will wash away later.

  • 5. Final polish and wipe down

    Once the heavy lifting is done, Tony follows up with a refining polish if needed to boost gloss and clarity even more. Then he gives the paint a final wipe down, so you can see the true finish in the light. From here, you can stop and enjoy the shine or talk with Tony about adding a ceramic coating to lock in the fresh, corrected look.

Paint Correction FAQs 

Paint Correction Questions?

  • 1. What exactly is paint correction?

    Paint correction is a careful machine polishing process that removes light scratches, swirl marks, and haze from your clear coat. Instead of hiding defects with wax or glaze, Tony levels the surface, so it reflects light more evenly. The result is deeper gloss, sharper reflections, and paint that looks cleaner even before you wash it. It’s how you get the real “wow” shine back.

  • 2. How do I know if my car needs paint correction?

    If you see spiderweb swirls in the sun, dull patches, or light scratches that bug you every time you walk up to the car, you’re a good candidate. Daily washing, automatic car washes, and just driving around can all mark up the clear coat over time. Tony will inspect your paint in person, walk you through what he sees, and help you decide how much correction makes sense for your vehicle and budget.

  • 3. Will paint correction remove all scratches from my car?

    Paint correction can fix a lot, but it has limits. It’s great for swirls, light scratches, and general haze. Deep scratches you can feel with your fingernail usually can’t be completely removed safely. In those cases, Tony will be honest about what can be improved and what can’t. The goal is always to safely enhance your paint, not chase every mark and risk burning through the clear coat.

  • 4. How long does paint correction take?

    It depends on the size of the vehicle and how rough the paint is. A light, single-step polish on a small car will take less time than a multi-step correction on a big SUV that has heavy swirls. Since Tony is mobile, he’ll come to your location, assess the paint, and give you a clear idea of what the job will involve. You’ll know the plan before any polishing starts, so there are no surprises.

  • 5. Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?

    Paint correction and ceramic coating work great together. Once the paint is corrected and looking its best, a ceramic coating helps lock in the look and makes it easier to maintain. You’ll get longer-lasting gloss, easier washes, and better overall appearance over time. Tony can correct the paint, then follow it up with a coating, so you’re not just fixing the finish for today. You’re protecting it for the long haul.
