Paint Correction
Paint correction refers to the process of removing the imperfections in a vehicle’s finish and restoring it to an, often times, better than a new state. These imperfections include but are not limited to, swirl marks or “spider webbing” from circular washing, automated car washes, fine scratches, water spots, bird dropping etching, hologramming caused by inexperienced detailers and the list goes on… Most common practicing detailers will fill fine scratches. In other words, your scratches are hidden and will only be revealed after you wash it several times. The only true way to remove scratches in your vehicle’s paint is with the process of paint correction, by one of our trained specialties here at Clear Bra Ohio. Once the paint has been re-leveled, your scratches are gone for good, but it does require proper maintenance to keep your car looking great after the detail to avoid putting new scratches into your paint.
Level 1 Paint Correction
Starting at: $399
As the name suggests, this paint correction service uses one step of machine polishing. Even with the single step process, a considerable transformation in the appearance of the paint can be achieved. On softer paints (Japanese brands for example), we can accomplish a paint correction that will remove nearly all swirls, haze, and light imperfections. On harder paints (German brands), a single step paint correction may only remove 65% of those same defects. Because all paint systems are different, we use test spots to dial in the best process so that you will see maximum results.

Level 2 Paint Correction
Starting at: $899
With our Level 2 Correction, your vehicle will undergo two corrective steps to remove heavier defects that our Level 1 service won’t eliminate. This option will significantly improve the finish by removing swirls, and all but the heaviest of scratches.
The process starts with machine compounding the surface to level deeper imperfections. Next, we follow with a secondary polishing stage to refine the finish and increase gloss and clarity. The paint type and condition will also dictate the level of correction, but typically this process will clear up 75-80% of all defects.
Level 3 Paint Correction
Consultation needed for pricing
When absolute perfection is of the utmost importance, this service delivers. Three stages of correction and spot wet sanding to remove all swirl marks, and severe scratching. This process is closely monitored from start to finish with paint depth readings, to ensure the safe removal of defects. At the end you will be left with a near perfect finish and a deep, brilliant gloss.
