What it is

Washing, waxing and even clay bar make paint clean, but they can't remove the fine swirls and scratches in the clear coat. Those come from automatic car washes, dry wiping and everyday use, and they're what make paint look dull and hazy in the sun.

Paint correction uses a machine polisher and polish to level the clear coat and remove those defects, so the paint reflects light cleanly again.

Options

  1. 1-Step Paint CorrectionA light polish that removes light swirls and scratches and brings back gloss.
  2. 2-Step Paint CorrectionA heavier polish that gets deeper scratches.

We just purchased a 2018 Honda HR-V and a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek and knew they needed a professional touch to truly make them feel like our own. After finding SoCal Mobile Detailerz on TikTok, we reached out. Destiny and Jonathan came out and worked their magic. Their teamwork is incredible. They are meticulous, professional, and clearly take immense pride in their work. They didn't miss a single nook or cranny. It is rare to find people who treat your cars like their very own.

They did an amazing job! The exterior is so clean and shiny! The detailing of the interior really was like a spa day for my car! The attention to all the nooks and crannies really does show. The quality is there and the customer service was so friendly and professional!

Paint Correction questions

Quick answers before you book. The full list is on our FAQ page.

What's the difference between 1-step and 2-step?

1-step paint correction is a light polish that removes light swirls and scratches. 2-step paint correction is a heavier polish that gets deeper scratches.

How much does paint correction cost?

It starts at $699. The final price depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint, and we confirm it with you before we start.

Will it remove every scratch?

It removes swirls and scratches in the clear coat. Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail, or that go through the clear coat, can't be fully polished out. We'll tell you what to expect when we see the car.

Should I get a ceramic coating after?

It's the best time to. Every ceramic coating we do starts with a 1-step or 2-step paint correction, so the coating locks in corrected paint.
