Paint Correction & Scratch Removal
Bring back the shine. Remove swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation with the right level of correction for your vehicle.
What you get
If your paint looks dull, hazy, scratched, or covered in swirl marks, paint correction can bring back the shine. Paint correction is a detailed polishing process that improves the clarity, gloss, and overall appearance of your vehicle's finish. At Wilmington Auto Detail, we use our decades of hands-on experience to inspect the paint and recommend the right level of correction. Some vehicles only need a light polish, while others may need a more involved correction process. This is a great service before ceramic coating, before selling a vehicle, or anytime you want your car to look closer to showroom condition.

If any of this sounds familiar, we can help.
Swirl marks under the sun
Years of poor washing technique leave cobweb-like swirls. We polish them out so paint reflects clean light again.
Hazy, faded clear coat
Coastal sun oxidizes paint. The right compound and pad cuts through oxidation without damaging the clear coat.
Light scratches everywhere
We assess each scratch and correct what can be safely removed — and tell you straight if it can't.
