What is a paint correction & how is it done?

A paint correction is a process of cutting & polishing using a variety of different polishing pads and buffers to complete the job. Our team of professionals use safe and effective methods in bringing your paint back to to life. Every vehicle can be a different process as some will need heavier polishing and more attention than others.

Quick Overview

1) Results-focused
Paint correction is the art of safely leveling your clear coat to erase swirls, light scratches, and haze—revealing crisp reflections and true color. At 2U Detailing in Edmond, OK, we measure, test, and polish with the least-aggressive system to deliver dramatic clarity and gloss while protecting your paint.

2) Problem → Solution
If your car looks dull or webbed with swirl marks, it’s not “old paint”—it’s surface defects. Our professional paint correction removes that damage at the microscopic level, restoring depth, clarity, and a mirrorlike finish—done right, safely, and consistently here in Edmond, OK.

3) Technical but friendly
Using paint thickness readings, controlled lighting, and a dialed pad/polish system, we carefully refine your clear coat to eliminate wash marring, light scratches, oxidation, and haze. The result: a sharper, richer finish that sets the stage for long-term protection.

4) Premium/luxury tone
Your vehicle deserves a finish that looks as good as it drives. Our signature paint correction treatment brings back the deep, liquid gloss enthusiasts love—performed with meticulous inspection, test spots, and boutique abrasives for a flawless, high-end result.

5) With maintenance tie-in
We correct paint the right way—measured polishing that removes defects and restores a true, high-gloss finish. For lasting results, add ceramic coating, then enjoy a complimentary ceramic booster with every exterior detail to keep hydrophobics and shine at their peak.

Why Add Ceramic Coating After Paint Correction

Paint correction reveals a flawless finish—ceramic coating preserves it. By bonding to the clear coat, ceramic creates a durable, hydrophobic layer that:

  • Locks in your results so swirls and oxidation don’t return as quickly.

  • Shields against UV, chemicals, and etching, reducing future paint damage.

  • Makes washing faster and safer (less scrubbing = fewer new wash marks).

  • Maintains deep gloss and slickness for a just-polished look longer.

  • Protects your investment, keeping your vehicle looking newer and boosting resale value.

Bonus: After we ceramic coat your vehicle, every exterior detail includes a complimentary ceramic booster to keep performance at its peak for the life of your coating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will correction thin my clear coat too much?
We correct safely and minimally, guided by paint thickness readings and test spots. Most 1–2 step corrections remove only a microscopic amount of clear — typically far less than aggressive hand compounding or repeated tunnel washes over time.

Can you remove all scratches?
We aim for the highest safe improvement. If a scratch has penetrated the clear, full removal may be unsafe. We’ll improve visibility and outline options.

How long will the results last?
With good wash habits and periodic maintenance, an enhancement or correction can look great for months to years. Adding a ceramic coating dramatically extends the freshly-polished look.

Is paint correction good for new cars?
Yes. Even brand-new vehicles often have transport marring or dealer prep swirls. A light enhancement polish makes new paint truly new.

Do you work on soft or finicky paints?
Yes. We tailor our pad/polish system to the specific paint system and color.

Mobile or in-shop?
This will depend on the job. Time and weather factor into each situation. We try our best to accommodate to you.

Do you offer a warranty?
We stand behind our workmanship. Coating warranties depend on product and maintenance standards.
