Paint Correction
Over time, your car’s paint can develop imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, which dull its original shine. At King Clean Auto Detailing in Tyler, Texas, our Paint Correction service is designed to remove these flaws and restore your vehicle’s finish. Using high-quality tools and expert techniques, our paint correction process reveals the true beauty of your car, making it look as good as new.
Our Process
-
Wash and Decontamination: We start with a full wash and decontamination process to remove dirt, tar, and other contaminants from the surface. This includes clay bar treatment to ensure the paint is smooth and free of embedded particles that could interfere with correction.
-
Paint Inspection: Our technicians assess the paint’s condition using specialized lighting to identify scratches, swirl marks, and areas of oxidation. This inspection helps us determine the level of correction needed.
-
Polishing and Compounding: Using machine polishers and high-quality compounds, we carefully buff out imperfections. This step involves multiple stages of polishing to remove scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks without damaging the clear coat.
-
Refinement: After initial correction, we refine the paint to achieve a smooth, flawless finish. This step brings out depth and clarity, enhancing the paint’s natural shine.
-
Paint Protection: To protect the corrected paint, we apply a durable wax or ceramic coating, sealing in the results and helping to prevent future damage. This protective layer enhances shine and provides long-lasting protection against contaminants and UV rays.
-
Final Inspection and Customer Walk-Through: Once the process is complete, we inspect the entire vehicle to ensure quality results. We then walk you through the finished job to explain how to maintain your vehicle's newly corrected paint.

Paint Correction FAQ
1. What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a professional process that removes imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation from a vehicle's paint, restoring its clarity and shine. By carefully buffing and polishing, we can improve the appearance and quality of your vehicle’s paint.
2. How is paint correction different from polishing?
While polishing enhances the shine, paint correction is a more intensive process that removes deeper imperfections. Paint correction involves multiple steps, including compounding and refining, to restore the paint to its original condition.
3. How many stages of paint correction does my car need?
The number of stages depends on the condition of your vehicle’s paint. Typically, we assess the paint during inspection and recommend a single-stage, two-stage, or multi-stage correction based on the level of scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation.
4. Will paint correction remove all scratches?
Paint correction can remove most light to moderate scratches and swirl marks. However, very deep scratches that penetrate beyond the clear coat may require additional work or may not be fully removable. Our technicians will provide an assessment and set realistic expectations.
5. How long does paint correction take?
The duration depends on the condition of your vehicle and the level of correction needed. Most paint correction services take between 4 and 8 hours, but more intensive corrections can take longer.
6. Is paint correction safe for my car’s paint?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals like our team at King Clean Auto Detailing, paint correction is safe. We use high-quality compounds and techniques that preserve the integrity of your vehicle’s paint while delivering impressive results.
7. How can I keep my car’s paint looking great after correction?
To maintain the results, we recommend regular hand washes using pH-balanced soap and soft microfiber towels. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, as they can reintroduce scratches. A regular waxing or sealant application also helps protect the corrected paint.
8. Do I need to apply wax or a sealant after paint correction?
Yes, after correcting the paint, applying a protective layer of wax or sealant is essential. This coating protects the freshly corrected paint from contaminants, UV damage, and oxidation, extending the life of the correction.
9. Can you perform paint correction on all types of vehicles?
Yes, our Paint Correction service is suitable for all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, and even airplanes. We’re experienced with all types of finishes, ensuring safe and effective correction for your vehicle.
