Paint Correction in Burnaby, BC
Paint correction is for swirl marks, haze, oxidation, water spots, and light-to-moderate clear-coat defects that make paint look dull. Brentwood Auto Detailing inspects the paint first, then recommends a correction level based on the vehicle condition and the amount of clear coat available.
The goal is improved gloss, clarity, and reflection. Paint correction can reduce many visible defects, but deep scratches, exposed primer, failing clear coat, or damage that requires bodywork may still need touch-up or repainting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process used to reduce swirl marks, oxidation, haze, and other light-to-moderate paint defects. It improves gloss and clarity, but it is different from repainting damaged panels.
Will paint correction remove deep scratches?
Paint correction can significantly improve lighter defects, but deeper scratches that extend too far into the clear coat may remain or require touch-up or refinishing. A proper inspection is the best way to judge what is realistic.
Should I apply ceramic coating after paint correction?
Yes. Ceramic coating is commonly applied after paint correction because it helps preserve the corrected finish and makes routine maintenance easier. This is one of the most common combinations for long-term appearance protection.
How long does paint correction take?
Paint correction timing depends on vehicle size and paint condition, but many vehicles need at least a full day and more intensive jobs can take longer. Heavily swirled or neglected paint usually needs more time.
