3 Stage Paint Correction Process
Stage 1
Stage 1: Heavy Defect Removal
Depending on the level of defects, we will use an orbital polisher. An orbital polisher can be used to remove mild to moderate defects. We pair the machine with a heavy cut pad during this stage. We test a small area to see if a desired result is achieved then we move on with the cutting process.
Stage 3
Final Polish
In this final paint correction stage, we polish or “jewel” the paint. This is done in order to improve the gloss and clarity of the paint. We use a finishing pad with a fine polish, paired with an orbital polisher. After the final polish is complete, we then reinspect the vehicle to remove any polish residue.
Stage 2
Stage 2: Paint Enhancement
In this 2nd stage, the goal is to bring the paint as close to perfection as possible. We are very thoroughly during this stage, repeating this stage consistently until the paint looks noticeably enhanced with a deep, rich look. This stage is performed with a orbital polisher paired with a medium cut pad and compound.
Final Stage
Protection Stage
In this stage, we attempt to put a form of protection on your freshly corrected paint. It could be a sealant or a System X Ceramic Coating. After the protection is applied, we perform a final inspection.
Lastly, we keep the vehicle indoors until delivery.

Stage 3 - Full Paint Correction
Stage 3 Paint Correction is a process used for cars with severe paint defects such as heavy swirl marks and scratches. It involves using polish and pad combinations for heavier scratches.
The process includes a heavy cutting compound with a heavy cutting pad, a cutting polish and polishing pad, and a finishing polish and finishing pad to refine the paintwork to a swirl, mar, and hologram-free finish. Finally, a paint sealant is applied to protect the paintwork.
