Remove swirls, scratches, oxidation, and water spots — restore real gloss.

We come to your driveway, office, or job site — no shop drop-off.
Most vehicles on the road in East Tennessee are covered in spider-web swirl marks, automatic-car-wash scratches, water spots from hard well water, and oxidation from the Knoxville sun. Paint correction is the only way to actually fix that — not hide it. We use a 1 or 2-step machine polishing process to safely remove a microscopic layer of clear coat, eliminating defects and bringing back the true depth, color, and gloss your paint had when it left the factory.

Our Process
- 01
Paint Inspection
We inspect your paint under high-CRI lighting, take depth gauge readings, and recommend single or two-stage correction.
- 02
Prep Wash
Foam pre-soak, contact wash, iron decontamination, and clay bar — we never polish a dirty car.
- 03
Test Spot
We test pads and compounds on a small area to confirm we're removing defects without removing more clear coat than needed.
- 04
Compound Stage
Cutting compound and pads remove the deeper defects: swirls, scratches, sanding marks, and oxidation.
- 05
Polish & Refine
A finer polish removes any haze from the cut and brings the paint to its maximum gloss.
- 06
IPA Wipe & Coat
Every panel is wiped with isopropyl alcohol to confirm true correction. Add a ceramic coating to lock in the work.
