Paint Correction (Cut and Polish)

3-8 Hours

Automotive paint correction is a meticulous process designed to eliminate imperfections, such as swirl marks, scratches, water spots, oxidation, and other defects that mar the appearance of your vehicle's paint.

Over time, exposure to the elements and improper washing (automatic car washes are a big culprit) can take a toll on your car's exterior, leaving it seeming dull and worn.

A machine polisher is used in conjunction with various compounds and pad combinations to permanently remove these blemishes, restoring clarity and shine.

At Woody’s Direct Detailing we offer two ‘levels’ of polishing depending on your needs and budget; Paint Correction or Paint Enhancement
