Paint Correction

At LUSTR Detail paint correction is our specialty and we are proud to stake our reputation on it. Paint correction is a long and labor intensive process through which paint is properly compounded, polished and restored to bring back that like-new or even better than new finish. Utilizing some of the best products and safest techniques, we're able to take paint in any condition to a whole new level of clarity and shine, without jeopardizing the paint thickness.
The video to the left shows the dramatic results we can accomplish through proper paint correction.

1 stage of polishing is our Level 1 correction, 2 stages is Level 2 and 3 stages is where we take our Level 2 to the next level and shoot for perfection inch by inch.  As you see the Level 1 greatly improves this horrible paint and Level 2 makes it pretty perfect leaving a deep, rich finish.  Depending on the paint condition and sensitivity, we can usually remove 50-80% swirl marks and lighter defects with the Level 1 and 80-95%+ with Level 2 correction.

We focus individually on each vehicle and develop a process specifically tailored it. Before any work is scheduled, we perform an assessment to evaluate the paintwork, measure the clearcoat and thoroughly discuss the owner’s concerns and expectations. In addition to the paint correction, we highly recommend an application of a Ceramic Coating to help maintain and preserve the finish.

Paint Correction Packages

Paint Correction is a valuable and beneficial service for almost any vehicle.  In addition to our Enhance Detail, we utilize stages of machine polishing to greatly improve the paint and usually make it better than brand new.  This is achieved by removing unsightly swirl marks, greatly improving deep scratches or defects and bringing out a clarity that brings the shine, gloss and reflections of the paint to a whole new level.  A paint correction detail could take 1-3+ days depending on the car, condition and expected results.
We made two easy options for clients, Level 1 and Level 2.  With Level 1 we choose the best polish and pad combination for your paint to get the best results with 1 stage of polishing.  Level 2 includes 2 or more polishing stages and is for those who want to make their paint as perfect as safely possible.  Adding a Ceramic Coating is a great way to help maintain and preserve the new finish.

Level 1 Paint Correction (50-80% improvement) starts at $750-850 for cars and $775-1000 for SUVs
Level 2 Paint Correction (80-95%+ improvement) starts at $1350-1500 for cars and $1450-1800 for SUVs
