Precision Surface Leveling

We don't just hide scratches with fillers. Our multi-stage machine polishing process permanently removes swirl marks and 'spider-webbing,' restoring your clear coat to a mirror-like finish

Paint Thickness Measurement

Safety is our priority. We use ultrasonic gauges to measure your vehicle's clear coat depth before we begin, ensuring we preserve the integrity of your paint while achieving maximum defect removal

High-Definition Clarity

By removing oxidation and light etching, we reveal the true depth and color of your paint. The result is a level of gloss and reflection that often exceeds the original factory finish

Stage 1 Paint Enhancement

  • This single-stage machine polish is designed to remove light “spider-web” swirls and oxidation while dramatically increasing depth and clarity.
  • This is the perfect choice for vehicles with well-maintained paint or brand-new cars looking for that “better-than-factory” glow.
  • Removal Rate: 50% – 60% Defect Removal.
  1. Multi-Stage Decontamination: Strip wash and iron fallout removal to clear the pores of the paint.

  2. Clay Bar Treatment: Mechanical removal of bonded contaminants for a smooth-as-glass surface.

  3. Paint Thickness Audit: We measure your clear coat depth to ensure safe polishing.

  4. Jeweler’s Polish: A single-pass machine polish using a fine finishing pad to maximize light reflection.

  5. IPA Panel Wipe: Removal of all polishing oils to reveal the true, corrected finish.

Stage 2 Paint Correction

  • Our most popular restoration service. This process uses a two-step approach to eliminate moderate swirling, light scratches, and “dullness.” By performing a dedicated “cut” and a dedicated “polish,” we restore the true color and sharpness of your paint.

  • Removal Rate: 80% – 85% Defect Removal.

  1. Heavy Decontamination: Full chemical and mechanical strip of the exterior surfaces.

  2. Stage 2 Compounding: A heavy-cutting machine pass to “level” the clear coat and remove deep swirls.

  3. Stage 2 Refining: A secondary polishing pass to remove any hazing from the compounding step and restore clarity.

  4. Edge & Trim Inspection: Precision work around mirrors, door handles, and emblems.

  5. Surface Prep: Deep cleansing of the paint to prepare it for Ceramic Coating or Paint Protection

Stage 3 Multi-Step Correction

  • This is the ultimate pursuit of perfection. This intensive, multi-day process involves heavy compounding, medium polishing, and a final “ultra-fine” jeweling stage. We aim to remove every possible defect while refining the clear coat to a surgically clean and mirror-like state.

  • Removal Rate: 95%+ Defect Removal.

    1. Clinical Decontamination: Extended chemical bath and multi-grade claying process.

    2. Heavy Compounding: Removal of deep RIDS (Random Isolated Deep Scratches) and heavy oxidation.

    3. Intermediate Polishing: Restoring the clarity and removing compounding “pig-tails” or marring.

    4. Jeweling Polish: An ultra-fine finishing stage using specialized pads for maximum depth (essential for black paint).

    5. Master Inspection: Every square inch is inspected under multi-spectrum lighting to ensure 100% uniformity.Paint Correction is the foundation. Now, lock in that mirror finish. We recommend pairing any correction service with our Ceramic Coatings or Paint Protection Film to prevent new swirls from forming.

Paint correction is the foundation for a perfect finish. Once your paint is restored, we highly recommend locking in that clarity with our Ceramic Coatings or XPEL Paint Protection Film. This ensures your newly perfected surface is shielded against Colorado’s harsh UV rays and road debris.”

Common Questions About Paint Correction

If a scratch hasn't passed through the clear coat, we can usually level it. We perform a 'fingernail test' and use paint thickness gauges to ensure we can safely restore the area without compromising your paint's integrity

We strongly advise against automated brush washes, as they are the primary cause of the swirls we just removed. For the best results, we recommend hand-washing or touchless options to maintain your mirror finish..

How do I know which Stage of correction my vehicle needs? Description: "The best way to determine the correct level of service is a professional paint inspection at our shop. Generally, if your car has light 'spider-webbing' visible in the sun, a Stage 1 Enhancement is sufficient. If you have deeper scratches or the paint looks dull/cloudy, a Stage 2 or Stage 3 is required to restore the depth and clarity."

Is paint correction safe, and does it remove too much clear coat? Description: "Paint correction involves removing a microscopic layer of clear coat (measured in microns) to level out defects. At ST6 Detailers, we use ultrasonic paint thickness gauges to audit your surface before we begin. This ensures we only remove the minimum amount necessary to achieve the desired result while preserving the long-term integrity of your factory finish.
