FAQs — Paint Correction
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
Light to moderate scratches yes. Deep scratches that go past the clear coat can't be polished out safely.
How long does it take?
Single-stage typically takes a full day; multi-stage correction can run 1–2 days depending on vehicle size.
Should I get a coating afterwards?
Strongly recommended. Correcting paint and not protecting it means the swirls return faster.
