Precision Paint Correction Specialists
Experienced Finish Experts Recognized for Results
Our Phoenix-based detailing team has built a reputation for delivering high-level paint correction results through precision, passion, and professionalism. With years of experience under our belt, we understand that no two paint jobs are the same. That’s why we use premium-grade polishers, industry-leading compounds, and a customized approach for every vehicle. From daily drivers to high-end exotics, we remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation with expert care. The result is restored gloss, clarity, and mirror-like reflections.
Ideal Preparation for Ceramic Coating Upgrades
If you’re planning to invest in ceramic coating, proper paint correction is the foundation for success. Applying ceramic coating over uncorrected paint traps imperfections like swirl marks, dull spots, or light scratches beneath the surface. At Clean Slate Auto Detailing, we ensure your vehicle’s finish is fully corrected before coating application. Our System X Certified team blends expert technique with flawless execution to prep your paint for long-term shine, enhanced protection, and hydrophobic performance that lasts.

Restore Gloss and Clarity
Over time, even well-maintained cars can lose their showroom shine. Harsh UV exposure, improper wash techniques, and environmental fallout gradually create micro-marring, swirl marks, and dull spots that degrade your car’s appearance.

Our Paint Correction Process
Paint Evaluation Under Proper Lighting
Every vehicle’s paint tells a different story. That’s why we start every correction job with a full inspection under LED and color-match lights. We assess the depth of scratches, condition of the clear coat, paint thickness, and surface contamination levels to determine the ideal correction plan for your vehicle.
Multi-Stage Polishing and Refinement
We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to polishing. Depending on the condition of your paint, we apply a single-stage, two-stage, or even three-stage correction process. This includes compounding to eliminate deeper imperfections, polishing to refine the surface and enhance clarity, and finishing polish to achieve a swirl-free, glass-like finish. Our process is slow, careful, and meticulous. We use only premium-grade polishes, pads, and dual-action polishers to safely correct the paint while preserving the integrity of your clear coat.
Owner Review and Finish Protection Advice
Once we’ve restored your vehicle’s finish, we walk you through the results in person. We’ll show you what was removed, explain any areas that may require additional protection, and recommend ceramic coating or maintenance products to preserve your vehicle’s look for the long term.

We are proudly serving our community with trusted expertise, reliable solutions, and a commitment to excellence in every project delivered.

Seth Richardson2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing… amazing work. I can not express how impressed I am with Austin and his teams work. Josh Hartwell2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Austin do both my Outback and my Tundra. Outback received the entry level coating package, it's older, but wanted it to last in the AZ sun, and the entry level package was a great price! On my Tundra, did the premium level coating + all around window tinting and it turned out so good! Still a great deal for the tint + premium coating. Susy Von der Ohe2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OMG! I literally cried when I saw the amazing job done on my car! Clean Slate put a satin/stealth paint protection film(PPF) and ceramic coating on my 2025 Outback Wilderness. They also ceramic coated the interior. In addition to that, a PPF was put on my carbon fiber rooftop tent. I am in love! I can’t stop admiring the phenomenal job. The customer service was above and beyond too. What a wonderful experience! I would recommend this company a million times over. Lorrie L2025-04-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Took my Denali to Austin at Clean Slate Auto. Super nice guy, explained in detail to me the full process that I was getting. I went with the 9 year ceramic coating including windows and trim. He called me the night it was done just as he said and I could pick it up the next morning after it cured in his shop overnight. Came the next morning around 10am, saw the truck and could not believe the shine! The truck looked better than it did when I bought it new from the dealership! Very very pleased. So pleased he now has my other car doing the ceramic coating. Highly recommend Austin and the team at Clean Slate Auto Detailing.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

1How long does paint correction take?
2Will paint correction remove all scratches?
3How long will the results last?
The results of paint correction can last for years with proper maintenance. Regular hand washing using pH-neutral soap, avoiding abrasive towels, and staying away from automatic car washes are key to preserving your finish. For best longevity, we recommend applying a ceramic coating after correction. This not only enhances protection but also makes future cleaning easier while locking in that deep, glossy shine.
