Professional Paint Correction
At Richards Premium Auto Detail, we specialize in professional paint correction to restore your vehicle's factory finish. Our multi-stage process removes swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections to reveal your paint's true depth and clarity.
Unlike basic polishing, true paint correction involves carefully removing microscopic layers of clear coat to eliminate defects while preserving your vehicle's protective finish. Whether you're preparing for a show, sale, or simply want that "like-new" shine, our correction services deliver transformative results.
