Your paint has a story. We rewrite it.
Paint correction is the process of using a machine polisher and specialized compounds to remove a microscopic layer of clear coat — along with all the scratches, swirl marks, water spots, and oxidation trapped within it. What's left is the undamaged, glassy paint underneath.
The most common cause of swirl marks in San Antonio? Automatic car washes. The brushes leave thousands of fine circular scratches every time. Over months and years, this makes paint look hazy and dull — especially in sunlight. One paint correction session can undo years of damage.

Automatic Car Washes
The brushes in touchless and traditional car washes leave swirl marks every single time. Most San Antonio vehicles have years of these scratches built up.
San Antonio UV & Heat
100°F+ summers oxidize and fade unprotected paint faster than almost anywhere in the US. Oxidation makes paint look chalky and dull.
Improper Washing
Dirty wash mitts, circular wiping motions, and wrong products all introduce swirl marks over time. Even well-intentioned DIY washes cause damage.
Look at your paint in direct sunlight or under a bright light. If you see circular scratches, a hazy or dull appearance, or the paint doesn't reflect sharply — you need paint correction. Text us photos and we'll give you an honest assessment for free.
Single-stage correction removes light to moderate scratches and swirl marks. Deeper scratches that go through the clear coat into the base coat cannot be polished out — but we'll tell you upfront what's achievable before we start.
A single-stage correction typically takes 3–6 hours depending on vehicle size. We come to your location so you don't have to go anywhere or arrange a ride.
Yes — and we recommend it. Paint correction reveals the best version of your paint. Ceramic coating then locks that in and protects it for years. Our Phantom Armor Bundle includes both starting at $600.
