Multi-stage machine polishing that permanently removes swirls, scratches and oxidation — bringing your paint back to better-than-showroom condition at KTC Audio.
Most "swirl removal" services use filler-heavy glazes that hide scratches for a few washes. True paint correction is different: we machine-polish the clear coat itself, leveling out the defects so they're gone permanently — not masked.
Every correction at our Parker shop starts with paint thickness measurements and a test spot, so we know exactly how aggressive we can safely be on your specific vehicle. Single-stage enhancements through multi-stage corrections are all done in-house, under proper lighting, panel by panel.
If your paint doesn't look the way it used to in the sun, one of these is usually the reason.
The spider-web scratches you see in sunlight — usually from automatic car washes and improper drying. Machine polishing levels them out for good.
Key marks, brush lines and fingernail scratches around door handles that sit in the clear coat can be compounded and polished away.
Colorado sun is brutal on paint. Correction cuts through the dull, chalky layer of oxidized clear coat to restore depth and color.
Hard water spots, bug acids and bird droppings etch into clear coat fast. Polishing removes the etched layer before it becomes permanent damage.
We measure paint thickness and inspect every panel under lighting to map out exactly what the paint needs — and what it can safely take.
A full hand wash, iron decontamination and clay bar treatment strips bonded contamination so nothing interferes with polishing.
We dial in the right pad and compound combination on a test section before touching the rest of the vehicle.
Cutting, polishing and refining passes remove defects panel by panel and bring the finish to a true, haze-free gloss.
Freshly corrected paint is bare — we finish with a ceramic coating or sealant so the results stay locked in for years.
A detail cleans and dresses the car; correction permanently removes defects from the paint itself with machine polishing. Swirls and scratches are leveled out of the clear coat, not filled or hidden with glaze.
A proper correction removes only a few microns of clear coat — a fraction of what's there. We measure paint thickness before we start and adjust our approach on thin or previously polished panels.
Yes, if the paint has swirls or defects. Coating and film lock in whatever is underneath them, so the paint should look its best first. Most of our coating and film packages start with correction — we do it all in-house.
The removed defects are gone permanently. How long the finish stays perfect depends on how the car is washed afterward — we'll show you the right technique, and a ceramic coating on top makes maintenance much easier.
Corrected paint is bare paint — protect the result so it lasts.
