Remove The Swirls and Get The Most Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
The goal of our Paint Correction Service is to safely remove swirls, oxidation, and surface imperfections to restore your paint’s true gloss and clarity.
Depending on your desired outcome, we can typically eliminate 65% to 90% of visible defects, revealing a deep, mirror-like finish.
Our 2-Step Correction Process involves precision cutting and polishing—carefully refining each panel to bring out the best shine possible. However, not every imperfection can be completely removed. Deep scratches, etching, or areas with thin clear coat require careful judgment to preserve the health of your paint.
At Clean & Boujee Auto Detailing, we take a professional, measured approach. It’s not just about removing every flaw—it’s about achieving incredible results safely while maintaining your vehicle’s long-term paint integrity.
Whether your paint needs 5 hours of polishing or 20, our goal is the same—to deliver a glossy, swirl-free finish that turns heads wherever you drive.
Even New Vehicles Need Paint Correction
You might be surprised to learn that even brand-new vehicles—sometimes just a few months off the lot—can still need a 2-Step Paint Correction. That’s because your car’s journey begins long before you drive it home. During manufacturing, transport, storage, and dealership prep, the paint is often exposed to multiple washes, handling, and environmental contaminants.
By the time it reaches you, many new vehicles already have swirl marks, light scratches, and imperfections in the clear coat.
Paint correction is an investment in your vehicle’s long-term appearance. Once your paint has been corrected, maintaining it properly through safe washing and drying methods is essential. Improper washing can easily reintroduce swirls and undo the work done in just a few washes.
This is one of the most meticulous detailing services we offer—depending on the vehicle’s condition and desired results, paint correction can take anywhere from 8 to 15 hours of focused, precision work. The result is a flawless, mirror-like finish that truly stands out.

Clean & Boujee Auto Detailing
Paint Correction Process
At Clean & Boujee Auto Detailing, we’ve worked on hundreds of vehicles of all makes, models, and conditions—from daily drivers to high-end show cars. Whether you’re looking to restore your car’s gloss or preserve a collector’s finish, our process is built on precision, patience, and results.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in our Paint Correction Service:
✅ Wheel, Tire & Fender Cleaning
We begin by thoroughly cleaning your wheels, tires, and fender liners—removing built-up brake dust, grime, and road film.
✅ Gentle Foam Hand Wash
Your vehicle is covered in thick foam and washed using soft microfiber mitts to safely lift away dirt and contaminants. We also clean door jambs, the gas cap area, and remove bug residue.
✅ Iron Decontamination
We apply a chemical decontaminant to safely dissolve embedded iron particles and fallout that regular washing can’t remove.
✅ Clay Bar Treatment
Next, we use a clay bar to remove bonded contaminants, leaving the paint smooth and ready for polishing.
✅ Taping Sensitive Areas
Trim, chrome, and rubber seals are carefully taped off to prevent polish buildup or staining.
✅ Step 1 – Compounding (Correction)
Using a dual-action polisher, cutting pads, and compound, we remove the majority of swirls, scratches, and oxidation.
✅ Step 2 – Polishing (Refinement)
We refine the paint to enhance gloss and clarity, removing any micro-marring from the compounding phase.
✅ Paint Wipe Down
The paint is wiped with a surface prep solution to remove oils and residue, revealing the true corrected finish.
✅ Paint Protection Application
Depending on your choice, we apply a premium wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to lock in the finish and protect the paint.
✅ Tire, Trim & Plastic Dressing
All exterior plastics, trim, and tires are dressed for a rich, even, non-greasy finish.
✅ Glass Cleaning
We clean all exterior glass and mirrors to a streak-free shine.
✅ Final Inspection
A full inspection ensures every inch of your vehicle meets our high standards before it leaves our shop.
We’re not a high-volume car wash—we’re a detail studio focused on quality, not quantity.
Depending on your vehicle’s size, paint condition, and goals, this process can take anywhere from one to three days to complete. Every step is done by hand, with precision and care, to deliver the flawless finish your vehicle deserves.
Hire a Paint Correction Expert in Hemet
It’s crucial to trust a skilled professional with your paint correction—someone who delivers results, not problems.
Unfortunately, we often see vehicles brought to us to fix mistakes made by inexperienced detailers who used the wrong tools or techniques.
One of the most common issues we see is buffer trails, caused by improper use of a high-speed rotary buffer with a wool pad. These leave behind noticeable swirls and smear-like marks across the paint, dulling its appearance.
Even worse, when a detailer applies too much pressure or uses aggressive methods, they can burn through the clear coat or even chip the paint. At that point, the only solution is touch-up paint or a complete panel respray.
At Clean & Boujee Auto Detailing, we use professional-grade dual-action and rotary polishers, along with the proper combination of wool, microfiber, and foam pads, to safely achieve flawless, swirl-free results.
Our goal is simple—to restore your paint’s shine without compromising its integrity.
Hard vs. Soft Clear Coat: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to polishing your vehicle’s paint, you’ve probably heard the terms “hard” and “soft” clear coats. Knowing the difference is important—it helps determine the tools, products, and time needed to achieve flawless results.
Hard Clear Coats
These are more resistant to scratches and swirls, which helps your paint stay glossier for longer. However, when imperfections appear, they require more effort to correct—stronger compounds, pads, and multiple polishing steps are often needed. The benefit? Once perfected, a hard clear coat holds its shine exceptionally well.
Soft Clear Coats
Soft clear coats are easier to polish but also easier to scratch. Minor swirls can often be corrected with light polishing, but proper maintenance is key. Gentle washing and drying techniques are essential to avoid reintroducing marks.
At Clean & Boujee Auto Detailing, we tailor our paint correction approach to your vehicle’s specific clear coat type—using the right tools, pads, and techniques to safely achieve maximum gloss and clarity every time.
COMMON FAQ'S
What is paint correction, and why is it necessary for my vehicle?
Paint correction is a meticulous process that involves removing imperfections from the vehicle’s paintwork, such as swirl marks, and oxidation. It restores the paint’s clarity and gloss, enhancing its overall appearance.
How does Paint Correction differ from traditional detailing??
While traditional detailing focuses on cleaning and protecting the vehicle’s surfaces, Paint Correction specifically targets imperfections in the paint through polishing techniques to achieve a flawless appearance.
How long does paint correction last?
The longevity of Paint Correction depends on various factors such as the condition of the paint, driving habits, and maintenance routine. However, when performed by professionals using quality products, results can last for several months to years.
What is the difference between a 1-step and 2-step paint correction process?
A 1-step correction involves a single polishing stage to address minor imperfections (50-60% of scratches and swirls). In contrast, a 2-step correction is more comprehensive, involving multiple stages to tackle deeper scratches and defects (removes 70-90% of scratches and swirls).
Can Paint Correction remove deep scratches or paint chips?
While Paint Correction can significantly improve the appearance of shallow scratches and imperfections, it may not be able to completely eliminate deep scratches or paint chips. In such cases, touch-up paint or other repair methods may be necessary.
