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.

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

Our Process

Our Paint Correction Process

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Correction
1How long does paint correction take?
The time required for paint correction depends on your vehicle’s paint condition and the level of correction needed. A light single-stage polish may take around 4 to 6 hours, while a full multi-stage correction can take 8 to 12 hours or more. We assess your paint first and provide a customized timeline to ensure thorough, high-quality results without rushing the process.
Paint correction is highly effective at removing swirl marks, oxidation, and light to moderate surface scratches. However, it cannot eliminate deep scratches that cut through the clear coat. In those cases, we’ll explain the limitations and possible alternatives. Our process focuses on safely improving your paint’s clarity and gloss while preserving the integrity of your vehicle’s factory finish.

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.
