Inland Empire’s Premier Paint Correction Specialists
Restore your paint’s shine by removing imperfections for a smooth, flawless finish
Remove Swirls and Unlock Maximum Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
Our paint correction service is designed to remove swirls and imperfections, bringing out the true shine of your car. Depending on your preferences, we can aim to eliminate 65% to 90% of paint imperfections through a detailed 2-step process of cutting and polishing, which enhances both gloss and clarity.
However, not all scratches and flaws can be completely removed. Factors like the depth of the scratch, the type of imperfection, or concerns about preserving the clear coat might limit what we can safely correct. We carefully evaluate each situation to ensure your paint remains in optimal condition.
The time spent on paint correction varies based on the outcome you desire, ranging from 5 to 20 hours. Even newer vehicles, just a few months old, can benefit from this service. Despite their recent manufacture, these cars have likely been handled, transported, and washed numerous times, leading to the development of swirls and imperfections.
It’s important to remember that paint correction is more than just a service—it’s a commitment to maintaining your vehicle’s finish. Regular, proper maintenance is essential to keeping your paint in excellent condition. By following the correct washing and drying techniques, you can preserve the results of the correction and keep your car looking its best for the long term.
Investing in paint correction means committing to your vehicle's long-term appearance. Proper maintenance, including careful washing and drying, is essential to preserving the results. Otherwise, you risk reintroducing swirls and scratches after just a few washes.
Our Paint Correction Process:
1
Clean Wheels, Tires, & Fenders
Detailing starts with a thorough cleaning of the wheel faces, wheel barrels, tires, and inner fender liners.
2
Gentle Foam Hand Wash
The vehicle is covered with a thick layer of foam and given a gentle hand wash, including cleaning the door jambs, gas cap, and removing bugs from the paint.
3
Chemically Remove Iron Particles
To ensure a clean surface, we remove iron particles from your paint using a chemical decontamination process.
4
Clay Bar Treatment
The next step in achieving a clean surface is a clay bar treatment, which removes any remaining embedded dirt and debris, leaving your paint feeling exceptionally smooth.
5
Tape Off Sensitive Areas
To prevent polish buildup or staining, we'll tape off and protect any trim, chrome, or sensitive areas.
6
Step 1: Compound Phase (Correction)
Safely eliminate most swirls and scratches from your paint using a machine polisher, cutting disc, and compound.
7
Step 2: Polishing Phase (Polish)
This will enhance shine and clarity by polishing out the micro-scratches that remain from the compound phase.
Paint Wipe Down
To assess the true condition of the paint, we'll wipe it down to remove any leftover polish residue that might be concealing imperfections.
8
9
Apply Paint Protection
Based on your choice of protection, we'll apply a wax, sealant, or a durable ceramic coating
10
Dress Tires, Plastic & Trim
To give the exterior an extra pop, we'll dress most of the exterior plastic and trim, including the tires, fenders, and trim, to a uniform black finish without any greasy residue.
11
Clean Exterior Windows & Mirrors
We'll complete the detail with streak-free glass cleaning on all exterior surfaces
12
Final Touch Ups
We’ll perform a final inspection of all exterior surfaces and touch up any areas that need attention.

Paint Correction FAQ’s
How long do the results last?
After paint correction, maintenance is crucial. Similar to how training a pet to sit requires ongoing repetition, maintaining your vehicle's swirl-free finish involves regular washing and drying.
Without proper and consistent care, you risk undoing the benefits of the paint correction and returning to the original condition.
Where are you located?
D1 Detail is a mobile detailing business serving the entire Inland Empire. We come to you, providing our high-quality services at your convenience. Our service area includes major cities such as San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and more. Whether you're in the heart of the city or a surrounding area, we're here to bring exceptional detailing directly to your location.
What tools and products do you use?
We use a wide range of machines, pads, polishes, compounds, cleaners, towels, and lights to work on your car. Since every vehicle is unique, we tailor our methods and tools to suit each specific car's needs.
What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?
A wax does not remove swirls or scratches from your paint; it merely hides very light imperfections and can be applied in a few hours. Paint correction, on the other hand, actually removes swirls and scratches, significantly enhancing the shine of your paint. This process is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, typically taking one or two full days depending on the size, condition, and desired results.
