Paint Correction
Paint correction is a specialized process designed to restore and enhance the appearance of your vehicle’s paint by addressing imperfections like swirl marks, oxidation, scratches, and haze. Over time car finishes become dull or damaged from factors like sun exposure, car washes, and road salts. At RSRVD, we use advanced machine polishing techniques to remove these imperfections, leaving your car with a smooth, glossy, and flawless finish.
Defects That Paint Correction Solves
Vehicles take a beating over time, and we understand that. From everyday driving to exposure to the elements, your car’s paint can suffer a range of imperfections. Here are the main types of damage vehicles endure and who’s typically to blame for them:
Swirl Marks
Swirl marks are circular scratches that appear on your vehicle’s paint, typically caused by improper washing or drying techniques or automatic car washes. They occur when debris is rubbed into the paint, leaving behind noticeable marks and dulling the surface. While swirl marks can range from light and subtle to more severe and noticeable, they are rarely permanent. With professional paint correction, these imperfections can be effectively removed.
Scratches
Scratches are deeper marks on your vehicle’s paint that occur from sharp objects make contact with the car. They can range from minor surface scratches to more severe gouges, often caused by branches, rocks, keys, or even hail. Depending on the depth, scratches can be more challenging to fix but are rarely beyond repair. Whether soft scratches on the paint’s surface or deep slashes in the paint, we have a paint correction package to meet your needs.
Oxidation
Oxidation occurs when your vehicle’s paint is exposed to the elements, particularly the sun, for extended periods. UV rays cause the paint’s clear coat to break down, leading to a dull, faded appearance, often with a chalky or rough texture. This process is accelerated by road salts and salt water. Over time, oxidation can significantly degrade the paint’s appearance, making it look old and worn.

How Our Paint Correction Service Priced

Break Down of Gloss Enhancement Package
The Gloss Enhancement Package is designed to restore your vehicle’s shine by addressing light imperfections like swirl marks, minor haze, and dull paint. This package is ideal for newer or well-maintained vehicles that need a subtle enhancement to their appearance.
Included in Gloss Enhancement
We know that sometimes your vehicle just needs a little refresh, whether it’s from light swirl marks or fading gloss—our Gloss Enhancement Package is perfect for giving your car the boost it deserves.
Hand Wash
The first step in our Gloss Enhancement Package is a careful hand car wash, designed to safely remove any contaminants from your vehicle’s surface without causing any additional scratches or swirl marks. We use pH-balanced, high-quality car soap that lifts dirt gently, than hit it with a soft microfiber mitt. This thorough wash ensures that your car is free of any grime, preparing the paint for the next steps in the correction process. Our attention to detail in this initial step is essential to guarantee the best results throughout the service.
Polish
Once your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned, we move on to the polishing stage. This step involves the use of a single-stage machine polish designed to enhance the paint’s gloss, restore depth, and remove light imperfections like swirl marks, minor scratches, and oxidation. We use specialized compounds and polishing pads that are tailored to your vehicle’s specific paint condition. The polish is applied carefully to remove a thin layer of clear coat, smoothing out any imperfections while preserving the integrity of the paint.
Sealant
The final step in our Gloss Enhancement Package is the application of a quality paint sealant. This premium product creates a durable, protective layer over your vehicle’s paint, providing an added shield against environmental contaminants, water spots, and UV damage. The sealant enhances the depth and gloss of the paint, while offering long-lasting protection that keeps your car looking freshly detailed for months.
Who is Gloss Enhancement Best For?
The Gloss Enhancement Package is ideal for those looking to refresh their vehicle’s appearance without major paint correction. It’s perfect for newer cars or well-maintained vehicles that have light swirl marks, minor haze, or dull paint from everyday wear and tear. If you’re looking for a subtle boost in gloss, depth, and overall shine without addressing more severe defects, this package is the perfect choice.
Break Down of Correction & Clarity Package
The Correction & Clarity Package is designed to restore your vehicle’s paint by addressing moderate defects such as swirl marks, oxidation, and paint cracks. This package is ideal for vehicles that require a more thorough correction than the Gloss Enhancement Package, providing a noticeable transformation in both clarity and depth.
Included in Correction & Clarity
Everything included in the Gloss Enhancement Package is included PLUS
Clay Bar Treatment
The first extra step in the Correction & Clarity Package is the Clay Bar Treatment, designed to remove embedded contaminants that washing alone can’t address. During this step, we use a specialized clay bar to gently pull out stubborn particles like rock specks, and brake dust from the surface of your paint. This ensures a smooth, clean finish, giving us a fresh surface to work with, and prepares the vehicle for the next stages of correction. By eliminating these particles, we prevent any risk of them scratching the paint during the polishing process.
Compound Stage
Following the clay bar treatment, we move on to the Compound Stage. This step is crucial for vehicles that have moderate defects like deeper swirl marks, oxidation, or fading. Using a specialized compound, we carefully buff away a layer of clear coat to remove the imperfections in your paint. The compound works by smoothing out the paint surface, helping to eliminate deeper flaws and restore a more uniform appearance. This process provides the foundation for the subsequent polishing stage, ensuring that your paint has the best possible surface before further refining.
2-Stage Polishing
After the compound stage, we perform a 2-Stage Polishing process to refine the finish and bring out the deepest gloss. The first stage involves using a more aggressive polish to eliminate any remaining imperfections from the compound stage, while the second stage uses a finer polish to bring out maximum clarity and depth in your paint. This dual-stage approach ensures that any lingering haze or slight imperfections are fully removed, leaving your vehicle with a smooth, glossy finish that enhances both color depth and clarity.
Who is Correction & Clarity Best For?
The Correction & Clarity Package is ideal for vehicles with moderate paint issues such as swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches. This package is perfect for owners looking to restore the clarity and depth of their vehicle’s paint, especially if it has been exposed to regular wear and tear or environmental factors. If your vehicle’s finish needs more than a simple touch-up but isn’t heavily damaged, the Correction & Clarity Package will give your car a noticeable transformation, enhancing its overall appearance with a smooth, glossy finish.
Break Down of Show Room Perfection Package
The Showroom Perfection Package is our most comprehensive and intensive paint correction service, designed for vehicles with severe paint defects such as heavy swirl marks, deep scratches, oxidation, and other significant imperfections. This multi-stage correction process is tailored to restore your vehicle’s paint to a near-perfect finish, making it ideal for high-end, luxury, or collector cars.
Included in Show Room Perfection

Advanced Clean
We begin with a thorough surface prep and decontamination process to eliminate any contaminants that could affect the paint correction. This includes using a clay bar treatment and a chemical iron remover to pull away embedded particles such as brake dust, debris, and oils. This ensures a completely clean surface, setting the stage for the next steps in the paint correction process
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Next, we perform a multi-stage paint correction process. This includes multiple compounding and polishing stages to address deeper defects like heavy swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. Each stage is meticulously tailored to your vehicle’s specific needs, gradually removing imperfections and restoring your paint to its full potential, achieving a mirror-like, flawless finish.
Ceramic Coating
To finish, we apply either a ceramic coating or a premium sealant. The ceramic coating provides superior protection against environmental elements, UV rays, and contaminants, ensuring your car stays looking fresh for months. The premium sealant adds an extra layer of gloss and protection, helping maintain your vehicle’s pristine condition.
