Paint Correction & Polishing
Machine polishing that removes swirls, oxidation and light scratches to bring back true gloss and reflection.
Paint Correction & Polishing in Cornwall, Ontario
Those spider-web swirls that only appear in direct sun are not in the paint colour. They are fine scratches in the clear coat, and polishing is the only thing that removes them.
Correction versus a cover-up
Paint correction machine-polishes a measured amount of clear coat away so the surface becomes level and reflects cleanly.
Glazes and fillers hide swirls temporarily; correction removes them permanently.
Signs your paint needs correction
- Swirl marks and wash marring show under sunlight or a bright light.
- The finish looks dull and hazy even when the vehicle is clean.
- There are light scratches you can see but not feel with a fingernail.
How a correction runs
- Decontamination wash, iron removal and clay before any machine touches the paint.
- Paint thickness measured and a test section polished to confirm the approach.
- Compounding and refining passes, panel by panel, under proper lighting.
- Protection applied so the corrected finish is not left bare. Plan on a full day for most vehicles.
Cornwall cost
Correction pricing in Cornwall is based on vehicle size, paint hardness and how many stages the defects require, so every quote follows an in-person look.

Common questions
Will every scratch come out?
If a scratch catches your fingernail it is usually too deep to remove safely. We improve what we can and tell you the truth about the rest.
Is polishing safe for my paint?
Yes when done correctly. We remove only what is needed and monitor the finish throughout.
Should I add a coating after?
It is the ideal time. Coating freshly corrected paint locks in the results.
