Swirl marks aren't dirt. They're scratches. Wax won't fix them.

Paint correction is priced by stages and vehicle size. A 1-step enhancement on a sedan with light swirls runs different money than a 3-stage correction on a black SUV with hologram damage from a prior bad polish. We start with a free paint consultation (including clearcoat depth measurement) and price the work up front based on the actual condition. Single-stage corrections typically run $400–$700; multi-stage corrections run $700–$1,800; 3-stage show-quality correction runs $1,500–$3,000+ depending on size and severity.

Real correction is full-day work, sometimes two days. A 1-step enhancement is usually 5–7 hours of bay time. A 2-step correction takes a full day. A 3-step show-quality correction is two days. Anyone quoting you "paint correction in 3 hours" is doing a polish, not a correction. Those defects will come back inside the first wash. We book corrections 1–2 weeks out for the full bay time without rushing.

Not if you wash correctly and we coat the paint. Real correction physically removes swirls. They cannot "come back" in the same place because the damaged clearcoat layer is gone. New swirls only form from new abrasion (tunnel washes, dirty mitts, dry wiping). We strongly recommend a ceramic coating after correction to lock in the result and create a sacrificial layer that takes the abrasion instead of your clearcoat. Without coating, swirls can re-form in 6–12 months depending on wash habits.

Right here. We're at 123 Engine Block Blvd in Cuyahoga Falls, serving Akron, Stow, Hudson. We measure clearcoat depth before every correction, photograph each stage of the polish, and provide before-and-after photos taken under defect-revealing light. Paint correction is booked 1–2 weeks out. Call to schedule a free paint consultation.
