Mobile Paint Correction in Austin, TX
Paint correction is the machine-polishing process that removes swirl marks, oxidation, and light clear-coat defects before a ceramic coating is ever applied. It's the single biggest factor in how deep and clean your final gloss looks — which is why it's built into every KlenCars coating package, not sold on its own.
Included in our coating packages — not a separate service
KlenCars doesn't sell paint correction as a standalone purchase. It's the preparation step built into our 5-Year and 10-Year ceramic coating packages, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it. Polishing first means the coating bonds to a clean, level surface — and the gloss you see on day one is the gloss you keep.

The level of correction included depends on the coating package you choose. Both refine the clear coat — the difference is how much defect removal happens before the coating goes on.
1-Step Correction
A single refining pass with a fine finishing polish.
- Reduces light swirl marks, haze, and wash-induced marring
- One machine-polishing pass with a finishing polish
- Enhances paint depth and clarity before coating application
2-Step Correction
A heavier compounding cut followed by a jewel finishing polish.
- Addresses deeper swirls, scratches, and oxidation
- Stage 1 compound cut + Stage 2 finishing polish
- Maximum clarity and gloss for long-term ceramic bonding

The Step That Decides Your Gloss
Refines Real Defects
Swirl marks, oxidation, haze, and light scratches are physical damage in the clear coat. Polishing levels the surface so light reflects cleanly instead of scattering.
Prepares the Surface
A ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and locks in whatever is underneath it. Correction first means the coating bonds to a clean, level surface — and the gloss you keep.
