What Correction Fixes

Takes the damage out. Doesn’t cover it up.

Most swirls live in the top of the clear coat, put there by car washes, dirty mitts and dry towels. Correction removes them instead of hiding them under glaze.

Before a coating

Whatever is on the paint gets locked under a coating, so it comes out first.

One honest limit: a scratch that goes through the clear coat can’t be polished out at any level. We’ll tell you before we start, not after.

How We Do It

Four steps. Every time.

The same process on a Tacoma as on a Porsche. The prep is where most of the result comes from.

Final inspection

A last look under the light with you, then protection so it stays that way.

1-Step and 2-Step correction are done in your driveway, with our own water, power and lighting. The Advanced 3-Step is usually better in controlled light, where sun and wind can’t work against the polish, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.

Dana is legit. I had a raccoon make a home in my boat. Needless to say it wreaked havoc. I took it to Dana, despite the nests it made, the garbage, urine, and awful smell, he turned this boat into something new.

Protect It Once It’s Right

Correction first. Then Gtechniq.

A ceramic coating locks in whatever is on the paint, swirls included. That’s why every Gtechniq coating we install starts with correction, and the correction is built into the coating price. If you’re coating the car, you don’t book correction separately.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Still unsure about your paint? Call (719) 517-7220 and talk to the people who’ll do the work.

How much does paint correction cost in Colorado Springs?

In South Colorado Springs a 1-Step Correction starts at $399, a 2-Step at $599 and an Advanced 3-Step at $899. The level is set by what your paint needs, which we show you under direct light before any work starts.

What’s the difference between 1-Step, 2-Step and 3-Step?

Each level is more polishing stages and more time. A 1-Step is one machine polish for light swirls and haze. A 2-Step adds a compound pass before the finishing polish, for moderate swirls and light scratches. The Advanced 3-Step uses heavy compounding, refining and finishing passes for deeper scratches and heavy swirling.

Can you do paint correction in my driveway?

Yes. 1-Step and 2-Step correction are done mobile, with our own water, power and inspection lighting. The Advanced 3-Step is usually recommended in controlled light, because sun and wind work against the polish, and we’ll tell you when that applies.

Will paint correction remove every scratch?

It removes swirls, haze, wash marks and light scratches that sit in the clear coat. A scratch deep enough to go through the clear coat can’t be polished out at any level, and we’ll point those out before we start.

Is paint correction worth it on a truck or daily driver?

If the swirls bother you every time the sun hits it, usually yes. Black and dark trucks show wash marks the most, and a 1-Step or 2-Step brings back the gloss without the price of a repaint. If you plan to sell soon, a detail may be all it needs, and we’ll say so.

Do I need correction before a ceramic coating?

Yes, and it’s already included. A coating locks in whatever is on the paint, so every Gtechniq coating we install starts with correction, built into the coating price. You don’t book it separately.

How is this different from the Platinum Exterior package?

Platinum Exterior ($349) is an exterior detail that includes a light 1-step pass along with the wash, clay and a Gtechniq sealer. Paint with heavier swirling or oxidation needs the dedicated correction service, which spends the time each panel needs.

How do I keep the swirls from coming back?

Most swirls are put there by washing. A safe hand wash like our $89 VIP Hand Wash, a monthly plan from $99, or a Gtechniq coating keeps corrected paint looking that way.
