Paint Correction

Paint correction is a process that removes surface imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation and water spots, restoring your vehicle's finish to a flawless, mirror-like shine. It is the foundation of any quality detail and is essential before applying ceramic coating or paint protection film.

At Anthony AutoSpa, we use professional-grade dual-action and rotary polishers with carefully selected compounds and polishes to safely remove defects without compromising your vehicle's clear coat.
