Paint Correction in Edmonton
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a careful polishing process that removes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots from your vehicle’s finish. By restoring clarity in the clear coat, it brings back a glossy, reflective surface that often looks close to how it did when the vehicle was new.
For Edmonton drivers, paint correction is especially useful after winters filled with salt, gravel, and frequent washes. This service restores gloss, colour depth, and overall appearance so your vehicle looks cleaner and more cared for on city streets and highways.
Single-Stage Polish
Ideal for newer or well-maintained vehicles. Softens light marks and boosts gloss for a fresher, more reflective finish.
Multi-Stage Correction
Targets heavier defects, oxidation, and dull or faded areas with a more intensive, multi-step polishing approach.

How Paint Correction Helps Edmonton Drivers
Swirl Marks & Light Scratches
Removes or reduces micro-marring from automatic washes, improper hand washing, and daily use.
Oxidation & Dullness
Cuts through faded, weathered layers so underlying colour and depth can show again.
Water Spots & Stains
Treats mineral deposits and light etching from hard water and drying under the sun.
Surface Roughness
Refines the paint so it feels smoother and reflects light more evenly.
Resale Value
A cleaner, glossier finish improves first impressions and can support stronger resale or trade-in offers.
Paint Correction Process
We follow a structured approach to restore your vehicle’s finish safely and effectively:
Inspection & Assessment
We examine the paint under proper lighting, note defect levels, and discuss expectations and package options with you.
Wash & Decontamination
Salt, tar, iron, and bonded debris are removed using safe chemicals and clay to prepare the surface.
Polishing
We refine the paint to improve clarity, depth, and reflection, reducing haze from the compounding stage.
Surface Protection
You can add ceramic or nano coating after correction to help keep the finish looking better for longer.
Compounding
Heavier defects, oxidation, and more visible scratches are treated with suitable compounds and pads.
Final Review
We inspect the vehicle with you, panel by panel, to make sure the finish meets agreed expectations.

Pricing & Value
Paint correction adds lasting value by reviving and protecting your vehicle’s appearance:
- Helps your clear coat last longer by correcting properly instead of constant heavy buffing.
- Can reduce the need for repainting panels when defects are mainly in the clear coat.
- Ideal preparation before ceramic coating or PPF so protection goes onto a clean, corrected surface.
- Local pricing with professional-grade polishes, pads, and equipment.
Warranty
Every paint correction service includes a satisfaction guarantee on visible defect removal and finish quality after final inspection. If you notice an area that needs attention within a set follow-up period, we’ll review it and address reasonable concerns.
How long does paint correction last?
Results can last for years when you follow proper washing habits and add protection such as wax, nano coating, or ceramic coating. How you wash, where you park, and how often you drive all play a role.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
Light and many moderate defects can often be removed or greatly reduced. Scratches that cut through the clear coat and into the basecoat may need repainting or touch-up instead of polishing.
Can paint correction damage my paint?
When done by trained technicians using correct techniques, paint correction is safe. We monitor progress, use appropriate pads and compounds, and avoid removing more clear coat than necessary.
Is paint correction the same as polishing?
Basic polishing focuses on adding shine. Paint correction is a more careful process aimed at actually removing or reducing defects, not just hiding them, so the finish looks cleaner under direct light.
Should I apply a coating after correction?
Yes, it’s strongly recommended. A ceramic or nano coating after correction helps keep the finish looking better for longer, reduces new swirl marks, and makes wash days easier.
