Swirl marks, light scratches, and dull paint aren't permanent they're just defects in the clear coat. Machine polishing is the only real fix. Pineworks uses professional polishing equipment and compounds matched to your paint to cut defects safely, restoring gloss, depth, and clarity.
Paint correction is the process of removing defects from your vehicle's clear coat by machine polishing using an abrasive compound to level the surface and eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water marks. The result is paint that reflects cleanly and looks genuinely new rather than just clean.
We measure the clear coat depth before starting to ensure we're working safely.
Chemical and physical decon before any polishing contamination damages pads and scratches paint.
One or more stages of polishing depending on defect severity. Heavy cutting compound followed by finishing polish for maximum clarity.
The main event systematic panel-by-panel machine polishing to remove defects from the clear coat.
What you're left with: paint that reflects sharply instead of distorting light through surface defects.
The polishing process itself dramatically increases gloss and depth the results are immediately visible.
All polish residue removed before any protection is applied.
Wax, sealant, or coating applied to lock in the result.
Chemical decon followed by clay bar. Contamination must be removed before polishing or it causes more damage.
Paint thickness readings taken. Defects assessed under inspection lighting. Polishing stages planned.
We always test on a small area first to confirm compound and pad combination before committing to the whole car.
Systematic machine polishing across every panel. Each section inspected under light before moving on.
Full car check under inspection lighting to confirm all correctable defects have been addressed.
Polish residue removed, protection applied, final walkthrough together.
