Paint correction is the process of safely removing defects from a vehicle's clear coat using machine polishers and cutting compounds. Defects include swirl marks (caused by incorrect washing), random isolated scratches (RIDS), water spots, bird dropping etching, and light oxidation.
Dr. Autocare's paint correction service begins with a thorough paint thickness assessment to determine how much correction is safe for your specific vehicle. We then work through a calculated polishing process — from cutting stages that remove defects to refining stages that restore maximum gloss.
A single-stage polish will remove 50–70% of defects and significantly enhance gloss. A two-stage correction targets 80–95% defect removal, delivering a mirror-like finish. All paint correction work is finished with a protective layer (wax, sealant, or ceramic coating) to lock in the results and safeguard against future damage.
