Remove The Swirls and Get The MOST Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
Our Level 2 paint correction service is aimed to remove upwards of 90% of the swirls, scratches, and imperfections from your paint. This is where we do an intense cutting and polishing step, which is called a 2-step correction, to achieve the highest level of gloss and clarity out of your paintwork.
Depending on the condition, whether the vehicle is new or not so new, some scratches cannot be fully removed. It could be the scratches are too deep to remove safely or the clear coat itself is thinning out (we will take paint measurements before we start).
This is where we will make the proper judgement on what we can safely lift off your paint. It’s not just about removing as many imperfections as possible, we are mindful to keep the integrity of the paint healthly and within good working boundaries.
YES! Even NEW CARS can still require a 2-step correction service (even cars fresh off the dealership lot). Brand-new cars are transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places) before handing it off to you! During this time that the car is moved, transported, washed (incorrectly), stored, etc. it’s no surprise your vehicle leaves the showroom with heavy amounts of imperfections.
The Level 2 paint correction is a commitment you’re making to the vehicle. If you would like to obtain the maximum shine on your paint, you have to properly maintain the vehicle after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle, you can easily instill all the swirls and scratches we removed right back into your paint!
If you’re selling your vehicle and want to prep the paint for potential buyers, our Level 1 Paint Polishing or HQ Wash and Wax is also a great option.

Level 2 Paint Correction FAQs
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
We sure do! We offer ceramic coatings that will give the ultimate protection and shine to your vehicle. You can also choose to stay with our top-shelf wax or sealant at no additional cost.
How long do the results last?
After the paint is corrected, the next phase is maintenance. MAINTENANCE IS KEY! You have to properly and routinely wash and dry your vehicle moving forward to keep the swirl-free finish, otherwise, you will be back to square one.
Do you have a shop?
Yep, We offer all of our paint polishing, corrections, and ceramic coating services at our shop location. Depending on the level of service, it can take up to 5 days to complete! We also offer mobile services in New York and the surrounding area (all polishing services are performed at our shop).
What tools and products do you use?
We use a wide range of machine polishers, pads, compounds, cleaners, towels, and lights. Every vehicle will be different (even if it’s the same make and model) and will yield different methods and tools.
What is the difference between wax and paint correction?
A wax does not remove any scratches or swirls from your paint. It may help hide the very light swirls and can be completed within a few hours. Paint corrections actually remove the swirls in your paint, which brings the highest ability to shine. This does come at a large cost of time and energy to complete, taking up to two full days (depending on the size, condition and desired results).
