What Our Paint Correction Includes

Correction TierWhat's Included
One StepPolishing only, to reduce light surface haze and minor defects while restoring clarity and gloss.
Two StepAdds one compounding pass before polishing to reduce moderate swirl marks and light scratches.
Multi StepMultiple compounding and polishing passes to address deeper flaws, oxidation, and neglected paint.

Advanced Detailing Sofla determines the right correction tier for each vehicle during the paint inspection stage, based on paint condition, defect severity, and how much correction the finish can safely support, rather than vehicle age or type alone.

Paint correction can remove or reduce swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and surface etching when the defects remain within the correctable surface layer. The process uses machine polishing rather than hand waxing, improving the finish through actual paint correction rather than temporarily masking defects with wax or filler. Paint correction works best when the paint has enough clear coat thickness for controlled removal, which is why paint depth checks and test spots matter before cutting begins.

Paint correction also prepares paint for ceramic coating or paint protection film by creating a cleaner, more refined surface after contaminants, haze, and oxidation are removed. Deep scratches that cut through the clear coat into the base coat or primer fall outside what paint correction can safely fix and may require repainting instead.

04 — Method

How Paint Correction Works

01

Assessment

Paint correction starts with a paint inspection, including a paint depth reading and defect mapping, to determine whether the vehicle needs one-step, two-step, or multi-step correction.

02

Washing and Decontamination

Every vehicle receives a full wash, dry, and clay bar treatment to remove loose dirt and bonded contaminants before polishing begins.

03

Correction

Technicians use a rotary or dual-action polisher with cutting compound and finishing polish as needed, matched to the vehicle's correction tier, to reduce swirl marks, oxidation, scratches, and other surface defects.

04

Final Inspection

A final surface check under direct light confirms the corrected finish before protection is added, with the results reviewed alongside the vehicle owner.

FAQs

Paint correction at Advanced Detailing Sofla is offered in three tiers matched to the severity of surface damage. One-step correction addresses light haze and minor defects through polishing alone. Two-step correction adds one compounding pass for moderate swirl marks and light scratches. Multi-step correction uses multiple compounding and polishing passes for more extensive defects, oxidation, and neglected paint. John Vanderkuyp determines the appropriate tier during the paint inspection stage.

Paint correction time depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and the correction tier required. A sedan with light haze needing one-step correction typically requires less work than an SUV with oxidation and water-spot etching requiring multi-step correction. Advanced Detailing Sofla determines the scope of correction after inspecting the vehicle rather than assigning the same process to every car.

Paint correction can remove or reduce swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and surface etching when those defects remain within the correctable surface layer. Machine polishing removes a controlled amount of clear coat to refine the finish rather than temporarily hiding defects with wax or filler. Advanced Detailing Sofla evaluates the paint before correction to determine which defects can be safely addressed.

Paint correction cannot safely remove scratches that cut through the clear coat into the base coat or primer. Surface-level defects can often be removed or significantly reduced through compounding and polishing, while more serious damage may require repainting. Advanced Detailing Sofla evaluates scratch depth and the condition of the surrounding paint before determining whether correction is appropriate.

Ceramic coating can help protect corrected paint by adding a protective layer with hydrophobic behavior, enhanced gloss, and environmental protection. Advanced Detailing Sofla offers ceramic coating as a follow-up service for drivers who want additional protection after paint correction. Correcting the paint first creates a cleaner, more refined surface for the coating to protect.

Paint correction focuses on reducing paint defects, while basic auto detailing focuses primarily on cleaning and maintaining the vehicle. Advanced Detailing Sofla uses machine polishing to address swirl marks, oxidation, water spots, and other correctable defects. Basic detailing can improve overall appearance, while paint correction specifically refines the paint surface before ceramic coating or paint protection film.
