Paint Correction by GlossFix
Restore depth, clarity, and shine and eliminate years of swirls, haze, and oxidation.
Paint correction is the professional process of removing surface defects (swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and holograms) from your vehicle’s clear coat using machine polishing and specialized compounds. Unlike a simple wax or polish, correction permanently refines the paint, restoring depth and gloss or preparing it for a protection layer like ceramic coating.
This service is ideal for vehicles that have lost their luster, suffer from improper wash marks, or simply need to be revived to their true showroom potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
