Not every scratch or defect can be removed with polishing, and we believe in setting clear expectations. Here’s an easy rule of thumb:
If your fingernail catches in the scratch, polishing will not fully remove the defect.
Those deeper scratches may require advanced techniques like wet sanding or touch-up work. Our goal is to restore your paint safely, preserving as much clear coat as possible to maintain the long-term health of your finish.
Paint correction is an art and a science. Unlike high-volume shops that rush through vehicles and risk burning through clear coat or causing irreversible damage, ProTech Detailing takes a precision-based approach. We measure your paint thickness panel by panel and use the least aggressive method necessary to achieve incredible results while protecting your investment.
A paint enhancement is a single-step polish designed to add depth, gloss, and clarity without heavy defect removal. It’s perfect for vehicles in good condition that need a refresh or for clients preparing for protective coatings like ceramic. While it doesn’t remove deeper scratches, it significantly improves the overall look of your paint and is more cost-effective than a full blown paint correction service.
Single-stage correction uses a more aggressive polish to remove the majority of light to moderate swirls and defects in a single pass, restoring depth and gloss to your vehicle’s paint. This level of correction is ideal for daily drivers with lighter imperfections and works exceptionally well on vehicles that don’t require multiple polishing steps to achieve noticeable results. However, for vehicles with soft paint systems or dark-colored finishes, a single-stage polish may not deliver a completely flawless finish, and a multi-stage correction is often recommended to achieve the level of refinement and clarity those surfaces demand.
Every vehicle’s paint tells a story, and at ProTech Detailing, our job is to rewrite that story with precision and care. Over time, normal driving conditions expose your car to countless contaminants and physical contact, leaving visible and sometimes microscopic imperfections in the paint. While not all defects can be completely removed, many can be dramatically reduced—or even eliminated—with our expert polishing process.
Some of the most common defects we correct include:
The positive aesthetic benefits of paint correction (Polishing or Buffing a vehicle) are many, including:
The duration of our paint correction process varies significantly based on factors such as the vehicle's size, paint condition, and type. Even for two cars of identical size, the service time may differ substantially, with one taking 8 hours and the other requiring 18 hours.

A polished surface allows the original color depth and vibrancy to shine through, often looking better than the day it rolled off the showroom floor.
By refining the paint surface at a microscopic level, light reflects evenly, creating a rich, mirror-like finish.
Crisp, sharp reflections of objects around the car showcase a level of detail that raw, uncorrected paint simply can’t match.
On metallic or pearl finishes, proper correction enhances the clarity of the flake, adding depth and dimension.
Polished paint provides the clean, smooth surface needed for optimal bonding of ceramic coatings or paint protection film, maximizing performance and durability.
