The Science Behind the Process
Here’s How Paint Correction Works
Paint correction is more than just making your car shine. It’s a precise process grounded in technique and technology. Here’s how it works to enhance clarity, depth, and shine to your vehicle’s paint.
Understanding Paint Layers
Every vehicle’s paint has multiple layers, with the clear coat sitting on top as a protective barrier. Over time, this clear coat can develop swirl marks, oxidation, and surface imperfections from improper washing, UV exposure, and general wear. Paint correction works by carefully removing a thin layer of the clear coat to eliminate these defects and reveal a smooth, flawless surface underneath.
Precision Compounding and Polishing
Paint correction is not just about buffing the paint. It involves using machine polishers, cutting compounds, and polishing pads tailored to the condition of your paint. Compounding cuts through imperfections, while polishing refines the surface for clarity and shine. The process requires skill and control to rejuvenate gloss without overworking the paint.
Swirl and Defect Removal
Swirl marks and light scratches are usually shallow, but they scatter light and dull your vehicle’s finish. Paint correction removes these defects by leveling the clear coat, allowing light to reflect cleanly off the surface. The result is a deeper, glossier look that brings your paint back to life.
Surface Prep is Key
Before correction begins, the paint must be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated. This includes washing, claying, and degreasing the surface to remove dirt, embedded contaminants, and waxes. Proper prep ensures the correction process is effective and prevents further damage during polishing.

Answering Paint Correction FAQs
What is paint correction, and how is it different from polishing or waxing?
Paint correction is a detailed process that removes imperfections from your vehicle's clear coat, like swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches, and hazing. Unlike polishing, which enhances gloss, or waxing, which provides short-term protection, paint correction actually improves the finish by leveling the clear coat. It’s a permanent improvement to your vehicle’s appearance, not just a cosmetic cover-up.
How do I know if my car needs paint correction?
If your vehicle’s paint looks dull, hazy, or has visible swirl marks or light scratches, paint correction can make a big difference. Even newer cars can benefit from correction due to damage from automatic car washes or improper washing techniques. If you're unsure, Zaddy’s offers a quick assessment to determine the right level of correction for your vehicle.
Will paint correction remove all scratches from my car?
Paint correction is highly effective on light to moderate surface imperfections that sit in the clear coat, like swirl marks and fine scratches. But it won’t remove deep scratches that have cut through the clear coat or reached the base paint. We always inspect the paint beforehand and explain what results you can expect.
How long does paint correction take?
The time needed depends on the condition of the paint and the level of correction being performed. Most jobs take between a few hours and a full day. More intensive corrections that need multiple stages of compounding and polishing can take longer, but we always give you a clear estimate before starting.
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction?
Absolutely. Ceramic coating is a great follow-up to paint correction. Once the surface is refined and flawless, a ceramic coating locks in the high-gloss finish and protects it from future damage. It also makes maintenance easier and helps preserve the freshly corrected shine for years.
