SERVICES

PROFESSIONAL PAINT ENHANCEMENT & CORRECTION

Not all paint imperfections are the same. That’s why Scratch Wizard offers multiple levels of professional paint correction, tailored to your vehicle’s condition and your goals.

​

Paint correction is the process of mechanically restoring automotive paint by removing defects such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and water etching. The result is a smoother surface, improved clarity, and a deeper, more uniform finish.

​

Every vehicle begins with an in-shop inspection to determine the appropriate level of correction.

​

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH ALL PAINT CORRECTION SERVICES

Every Level 1 and Level 2 service includes proper preparation to ensure consistent, high-quality results:

✓ Full exterior detail
✓ Iron decontamination
✓ Clay bar treatment
✓ Controlled machine polishing
✓ Final inspection under shop lighting

​

​

​

WHY PAINT CORRECTION MATTERS

Paint defects scatter light, dulling your vehicle’s appearance and reducing gloss. Professional paint correction safely levels the clear coat to remove those defects — restoring clarity and creating the proper foundation for long-term protection.

​

Paint correction is also required before ceramic coating, as coatings lock in the condition of the paint beneath them.

​

 

NOT SURE WHICH LEVEL YOU NEED?

Not sure whether Level 1 or Level 2 is right for your vehicle?

Every vehicle is inspected in-shop, and we recommend the appropriate level of correction based on paint condition — not upselling.
