Professional Paint Correction in Ada, OK
Paint correction is machine polishing that removes a thin layer of damaged clear coat to take out swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation. Grimeaway Autoworks does paint correction in Ada, OK, at our shop on North Broadway. We measure your paint first, then correct it in one stage or several, depending on how deep the damage goes.
What Does Paint Correction Fix?
Paint correction fixes defects that sit in your clear coat: swirl marks from car washes, fine scratches, water spots, haze, and the dull, chalky look of oxidation. At Grimeaway Autoworks, we level those defects out with a machine polisher, compounds, and polishes until the paint reflects clean again.
This is not a quick buff and wax that fills scratches and washes off in a few weeks. We check paint thickness with a gauge, work under controlled LED lighting, and remove the defect itself. Deep chips and gouges that go through the clear coat are a different repair, and we will tell you up front if your vehicle has them.
We don’t just polish. We recondition your paint.
How Does Our 5-Step Paint Correction Process Work?
We start with a foam wash, clay bar, and iron remover to pull off bonded contamination before any pad touches the paint.
We measure paint thickness with a digital gauge and check how deep the defects go under LED lighting.
Heavier defects get leveled with a cutting compound and the right pad for your paint.
A finer polish takes out the haze compounding leaves behind and brings back clarity and gloss.
We finish with a paint sealant or the Revivify self-healing protective coating we install, so the corrected finish holds up.
Which Level of Paint Correction Do You Need?
One round of light compounding and polishing to remove light swirls, haze, and early oxidation.
Several rounds of compounding and polishing for deeper scratches, heavy swirls, and oxidation.
Optional add-on: Pair your correction with Revivify self-healing protective coating, the coating we install to help protect the finish you just had corrected.
What Drives the Cost of Paint Correction?
Paint correction cost comes down to how much work your paint needs. Two vehicles that look the same from ten feet away can need very different amounts of time on the polisher. These four things set the price of paint correction at Grimeaway Autoworks in Ada, OK:
How deep the defects go
Light swirls and haze polish out quickly. Deeper scratches take more cutting and more passes, and anything through the clear coat needs a different repair.
The condition of your paint
Heavy oxidation, thin clear coat, or past buffer damage means slower, more careful work. We measure paint thickness before we start so we know how much we can safely remove.
The size of your vehicle
A full-size truck or SUV has a lot more painted surface than a compact car, so it takes more time at every step.
Single-Stage or Multi-Stage Correction
Single-Stage Correction is one round of compounding and polishing. Multi-Stage Correction adds more rounds for deeper damage, which adds labor.
