Asheville Mobile Detailing Service
Paint Correction and Polishing
What This Service Covers
Paint correction and polishing is a controlled machine process available in Asheville and WNC that reduces or removes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and haze from a vehicle's clear coat to restore reflectivity and depth. Every job starts with an inspection and test spot to match pad, polish, and technique to your paint system, so correction is effective while remaining safe for the finish.
When You Might Need It
You may need correction when sunlight reveals circular swirl patterns, when dark paint looks cloudy rather than glossy, or when prior washing has left micro-marring and holograms. It is also commonly scheduled before applying longer-term paint protection, before photo shoots and resale, or after years of automatic car wash use that gradually dulls the finish.
Why It Is Worth Doing
Corrected paint reflects light more evenly, which gives the vehicle a sharper, richer appearance and helps it stand out immediately compared to untreated paint. Beyond visual improvement, removing defects before sealing or coating helps protection products bond better and last longer, making correction one of the highest-impact services for appearance-focused maintenance.

Common Questions
Does this remove all scratches?
