Professional Paint Correction in Pasadena

Paint correction is the process of removing surface defects from your vehicle's clear coat, swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, bird etching, and oxidation, using machine polishers and abrasive compounds. The result is a finish that looks better than new, with deeper gloss and sharper reflections.

Luxury and exotic vehicles like Ferrari and Lamborghini are especially prone to swirl marks from improper washing, automated car washes, and well meaning but damaging wiping with dry cloths. At Creative Collision Center in Pasadena, our paint correction specialists use paint thickness gauges and high intensity lighting to accurately assess every panel before beginning work.

We offer single stage, two stage, and three stage paint correction depending on the severity of defects. Each stage uses progressively finer compounds and polishing pads to safely remove defects from the clear coat without removing more material than necessary.

After paint correction, your vehicle's paint is in its most receptive state for protective coatings. Many of our Pasadena customers combine paint correction with ceramic coating or paint protection film application to lock in the corrected finish for years to come.
