All Paint Correction Packages - Proper prep for paint correction includes a detailed wash, iron and tar decontamination, sap/ tar removal and a clay bar treatment to remove all surface contaminants. This ensures a clean, smooth surface, allowing the polishing process to be more effective and safe for achieving the best possible finish.
Stage 1 - Paint Enhancement
Ideal for vehicles with light swirl marks, hazing, or minor scratches. It involves a single polishing step using a polish and pad combo designed to enhance gloss. This service significantly improves the paint’s clarity and shine, making it a great option before applying a ceramic coating or for refreshing the look of daily-driven vehicles.
Stage 2 - Cut & Polish
Designed for vehicles with moderate swirl marks, deeper scratches, and more noticeable paint defects. It involves a two-step process—starting with a cutting compound to remove imperfections, followed by a polishing step to refine the finish and restore a deep, glossy shine. This service is ideal for cars that need a restoration.
Stage 3 - Multistage
The most intensive level of paint restoration, suited for vehicles with severe swirl marks, deep scratches, heavy oxidation, or neglected finishes. It involves multiple machine polishing steps— heavy compounding, followed by medium and fine polishing—to safely remove significant defects and restore maximum clarity, depth, and gloss. This process is time-consuming and meticulous, making it ideal for anyone looking for a near-perfect finish.
For older cars, paint correction is the best way to restore and revitalize the finish by removing years of scratches, oxidation, and dullness. At Surrey Foam Kings, this process brings back your vehicle’s original shine, making it look refreshed and well-maintained—providing the perfect foundation before applying paint protection to preserve its renewed appearance.
Getting a new car paint corrected might sound surprising, but it’s actually essential to remove factory imperfections like swirl marks, overspray, and minor scratches that can dull the finish. Paint correction enhances the paint’s clarity and depth, giving your new car a flawless, showroom-quality shine and ensuring a smooth surface for better paint protection application and long-lasting beauty.
Getting paint correction from an inexperienced shop can seriously damage your vehicle’s finish. Poor technique can lead to clear coat damage, swirl marks, buffer trails, or even burned paint. Common mistakes include using the wrong products, skipping proper surface prep, and failing to protect the paint afterward. Inexperienced shops may also polish unevenly, overcorrect thin areas, or stain trim due to lack of masking. Without the right tools—like a paint depth gauge—or proper training, the results can be worse than the original imperfections. To avoid costly mistakes, always choose a reputable shop with verified experience, proper equipment, and a detailed correction process.
Paint correction works by using specialized polishing compounds and machines to gently remove a very thin layer of the clear coat on your car’s paint. This process eliminates surface imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and water spots, revealing a smooth, glossy finish underneath. Skilled technicians carefully polish the paint to restore its depth and clarity, bringing back the car’s original shine and preparing it for protective treatments.
