Our Paint Correction Packages
Permanent Swirl and Scratch Removal Paint correction can permanently remove swirl marks, scratches, oxidation and other clear-coat imperfections. The level of defect removal depends on your vehicle’s paint condition and the package selected—from a one-stage enhancement to multi-stage correction and wet sanding for more severe defects.
One Stage Polish
A single polishing step for vehicles that need stronger gloss and improvement to lighter swirls and wash marring.
- Pre-correction exterior wash using Gyeon shampoo and a safe two-bucket method
- Clay treatment to remove bonded contamination before polishing
- One controlled machine-polishing stage using Rupes equipment to improve clarity and gloss
Two Stage Paint Correction
A cutting and refining process for more visible swirls, marring and eligible clear-coat scratches.
- Complete exterior wash and clay decontamination
- Initial cutting stage using Rupes equipment, with pads and compounds selected from the test spot
- Second refining stage to improve clarity, reflections and finish quality without fillers
- Improvement varies according to defect depth, paint condition and safe correction limits

Three Stage Paint Correction
Our most comprehensive correction option for vehicles requiring additional refinement and finish clarity.
- Thorough exterior wash and clay decontamination
- Primary cutting stage selected after inspection and test-spot evaluation

What Paint Correction Can and Cannot Fix
Paint correction works by carefully refining eligible defects within the clear coat. It can permanently improve many imperfections, but it cannot replace missing paint or repair body damage.
Can Improve
- Swirl marks
- Light surface scratches
- Wash marring
- Oxidation and dullness
- Holograms and buffer trails
- Some water-spot etching
Cannot Repair
- Deep scratches through the clear coat
- Rock chips or missing paint
- Peeling clear coat
- Rust and corrosion
- Dents or collision damage
- Failed or damaged paintwork
How We Restore Your Vehicle's Finish
A structured process helps deliver consistent improvement while protecting the long-term health of your paint.
Paint Inspection
We evaluate paint condition, defect severity and realistic improvement under proper lighting.
Safe Wash & Decontamination
The exterior is thoroughly washed and clay-barred so polishing begins on a clean, smooth surface.
Test Spot
A small test section helps determine the safest pad, polish and correction approach.
Machine Polishing
Panels are corrected and refined using professional equipment and measured techniques.
Final Inspection & Protection
The finish is inspected for consistency before ceramic coating or another protection option is applied.
Paint Correction vs. Ceramic Coating
Paint correction restores the finish by reducing eligible defects. Ceramic coating protects the corrected surface and makes maintenance easier. For the best result, correction is completed first.

| Adds hydrophobic protection | Limited | Yes |

Paint Correction North York FAQs
Direct answers to common questions about scratches, swirl removal, packages, timing and protection.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
No. Paint correction can remove or substantially reduce defects that remain within the clear coat. Scratches that have penetrated through the clear coat, exposed primer or removed paint normally require touch-up or repainting.
How do I know whether I need one, two or three stages?
A one-stage polish is best for lighter defects and gloss enhancement. Two-stage paint correction adds a cutting step followed by refinement for more visible swirls and eligible scratches. Three-stage paint correction adds another refinement step and final jewelling for greater clarity and gloss. We inspect the paint and complete a test spot before recommending a package.
How much does paint correction cost in North York?
North York packages start at $299 for a one-stage polish, $499 for two-stage paint correction and $800 for three-stage paint correction. Vehicle size, paint condition, defect depth and the safe level of correction can affect the final estimate.
Can I see a demonstration before choosing a package?
Yes. Visit our North York studio for a free, no-obligation paint assessment. When appropriate, we can demonstrate the expected improvement on a small test area before recommending a correction package.
Does the promotion include a Ceramic Pro coating?
Yes. While the promotion is available, qualifying two-stage and three-stage paint correction packages include a complimentary six-month Ceramic Pro coating. Please confirm availability and vehicle eligibility when booking.
How long does paint correction take?
Timing depends on the vehicle, paint condition and package selected. Multi-stage correction requires more preparation, polishing and inspection time than a one-stage service. We provide an estimated completion time after assessing the vehicle.
Should ceramic coating be applied after paint correction?
Yes, especially when you want to preserve the restored finish. Paint correction improves the surface; ceramic coating then adds hydrophobic protection and makes routine washing easier.
Can paint correction help before selling or returning a lease?
It can significantly improve gloss, clarity and overall presentation when defects are correctable. It does not repair dents, missing paint, chips or collision damage, so an inspection is important before choosing the service.
