One-step paint correction is a single machine-polishing pass designed to reduce light swirl marks, minor scratches, and overall haze in a vehicle's clear coat, restoring gloss without the more involved process a heavier correction requires.

Before/After Paint Correction
Who It's For
One-step correction is best suited to paint that's in reasonably good condition but has picked up light swirl marks from washing, minor haze, or a dull finish — common on vehicles that are a few years old and have been through regular car washes or hand washing without much care for technique.
What It Won't Fix
One-step correction addresses light to moderate defects. Deeper scratches, heavier oxidation, or more significant paint damage generally need a two-step process to fully address — see our two-step paint correction page for that comparison.
The Result
A single-step correction typically produces a noticeably glossier, clearer finish compared to the pre-correction condition, though it's a lighter-touch process than a full two-step correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need one-step or two-step correction?
It depends on the paint's current condition. Light swirls and haze are generally a good fit for one-step; deeper scratches or more significant defects usually call for two-step. Bring the vehicle in and we can advise after a look at the paint.
Does one-step correction include ceramic coating?
No — we do not currently offer ceramic coating as a service. One-step correction is a polishing process focused on improving the existing clear coat's appearance.
