How long does a correction detail take?

Typically 1–2 full days depending on the severity of the damage and vehicle size. We don't cut corners — we take as long as needed to achieve the best possible result.

Why is correction more expensive than enhancement?

Correction involves multiple polishing stages with different compounds and pads, plus significantly more time. Each stage progressively removes finer defects. The result is dramatically superior to single-stage enhancement.

Do I need to provide water or electricity?

No — we arrive fully equipped with our own water supply and power. All we need is access to your vehicle and ideally a covered area for multi-day work.

Paint Correction Detail
Correction

For vehicles with significant swirl marks, scratches, holograms, and oxidation that a single-stage enhancement can't fully address. Multi-stage machine correction using progressive compounds — each stage removes finer defects until we achieve 90–95%+ correction. Paint depth readings are taken before we start, and every panel is inspected under LED lights. This is precision paintwork surgery.
