Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections in automotive painted surfaces, such as swirl marks, scratches, paint transfer, and water spot etchings. These imperfections are often caused by improper care of the paint, such as improper washing and drying, wiping the car while it is dirty or dry, or applying car covers before the car has been cleaned. Although there are many ways that defects can enter a car's paint, the only way to remove them is through paint correction.

At Tomlin Detailing, we thoroughly clean the car and remove any protective layers or contaminants that may be on the paint that will interfere with the correction. We then correct any defects in the paint by removing microscopic layers of clearcoat with machine polishers. We are extensively trained and experienced in the various processes and products used during paint correction so you can trust us to perfect your car.

Tomlin Detailing is Charlotte's paint correction and ceramic coating specialist. We strive to be the best of the best when it comes to restoring your cars shine.

Two step paint correction:

A two step paint correction will remove 90%-100% of all visible paint defects by a first step of machine compounding to remove the majority of defects followed by a step of machine polishing to refine the paint to a perfect finish.

Single step paint correction:

A one step paint correction will remove at least 80% of paint defects by machine polishing or compounding. This process will restore your lightly defected car to perfection
