PAINT CORRECTION


Paint Correction

“Paint correction” refers to the process of removing the imperfections in a vehicle’s finish via hand or machine polishing which restores the finish to is maximum gloss and clarity. This often results in a paint finish that rivals or exceeds how the vehicle looked upon delivery. Paint imperfections can include but are not limited to:
  • swirl marks
  • tree sap etching
  • water spots
  • acid rain etching
  • bird dropping etching
  • “holograms”, “buffer trails” and swirls induced from improper polishing
Inexperienced detailers and car washes merely cover up and hide imperfections by applying waxes and/or paint sealants that contain “fillers” that will quickly wash away and do not correct the problem. Scotty’s Shine Shop has trained extensively with the best in the industry to perfect the skills to remove correctable paint imperfections completely and minimize those that cannot be fully removed. After your paint has been polished and restored the correctable scratches are GONE. We will then educate you on how to maintain your corrected finish for years to come or can maintain it for you via regular visits to the shop for aftercare.

In the Shop: 2015 BMW M4 – Overspray Removal, Paint Correction & Modesta BC-04 Coating This stunning M4 came to us in need of serious care after being hit with white paint overspray. We meticulously removed the overspray from every surface of the vehicle—paint, glass, trim, and wheels—using safe and effective techniques that preserved the finish underneath. Next up: multi-stage paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, etching, and fine scratches, restoring the deep gloss this BMW deserves. To lock in that flawless finish, we applied Modesta BC-04 Nano-Titanium Glass Coating—a premium ceramic coating that adds intense gloss, hydrophobicity, and long-term protection against the elements. ✨ Overspray Safely Removed
