Single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage paint correction. Mobile for newer vehicles, drop-off for show-quality results.
Have you ever looked at your vehicle in the bright sun and noticed a web of tiny scratches?
Those little swirl marks can completely hide the true color and shine of your car. Our professional service team sees this issue every single day.
A proper paint correction service is the only way to permanently fix those flaws. We want to walk you through the exact steps we use. You will be surprised at how simple the science behind it really is.
Many local car washes and quick-lube shops offer a fast polish. A cheap buffer might seem like a great deal.
Our experience shows that these unmeasured treatments often cause irreversible damage. Modern factory clear coats are incredibly thin.
We know that they usually measure just 1.5 to 2 mils. That thickness is about 38 to 50 microns.
A standard Post-it note is actually thicker than the clear coat protecting your paint.
We frequently inspect cars that have been ruined by aggressive buffing. A rotary buffer paired with a heavy wool pad and cheap cutting compound removes that protective layer fast.
Our team knows that without careful measurement, the operator has no idea how much material they are grinding away. A single careless correction pass can easily strip away 5 to 10 microns of clear coat.
We want you to avoid a very expensive repair bill. Three careless passes will eat through a third to two-thirds of the clear coat that protects the color layer underneath.
Our research shows that in the US, the average cost for a high-quality mid-tier auto repaint in 2026 is hovering around $3,000. You definitely want to preserve your factory paint for as long as possible.
We treat your vehicle’s exterior with absolute precision. Paint correction is the most technically demanding service in detailing.
Our team finds that this process is also the most commonly done badly. The problem with a bad job is rarely the operator’s intent, but rather a complete lack of measurement.
We start every session by taking a paint depth gauge reading at multiple panels. This crucial step establishes a reliable baseline before any polishing begins.
The primary goal is to use the gentlest pad and compound that still gets the defect out. This modern equipment keeps your paint safe during the entire process.
We measure the area again right after the initial test panel. Precision is the key to a safe and brilliant finish.
Our standard target is a safe removal of typically 1 to 3 microns. If the defect is gone and we have removed an acceptable amount of clear coat, the process continues.
We step up to a slightly heavier pad if we need more cut for a stubborn scratch. Re-measurement happens after every single adjustment. Our strict process guarantees your clear coat stays healthy and intact for years to come.
We know that choosing the right package depends entirely on the current condition of your vehicle. A daily driver needs a different approach than a weekend show car. Our packages are designed to match your specific goals and budget.
| Service Level | Price | Target Defects | Format |

"I used a mobile-only company for ceramic last year and it had visible swirl haze within a year. Gemstar redid it at their Kuna shop, measured the paint depth, walked me through the cure environment thing. Night and day."
