Your paint has one job, to look incredible. Swirl marks, water spots and scratches get in the way. We remove them from the clear coat and the deep, wet gloss comes right back.
Swirl marks are thousands of tiny scratches in the clear coat, left behind by car washes, dirty towels and years of sun. They scatter light, so the paint looks dull and hazy. Paint correction levels the clear coat with a machine polisher, removing a few microns at a time (a micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter) until the surface is flat again and the light bounces straight back. That is where the depth and gloss come from, and it is why a corrected car is worth more when it is time to sell.
Every car we correct starts with an inspection under shop lights to see exactly what the paint has been through. These are the defects we find most often, and all of them can be polished out or greatly reduced.
The right one depends on the condition of your paint and how far you want to take it.
Before anything, just wanted to say Brandon and his staff are amazing! I brought in my 2019 Audi S4 to have the following services done to my car: Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating, and Front End PPF. The work and result was amazing when I got the car back. Brandon was very communicative with the whole process and kept me in the loop with everything.
Brandon and his team far exceeded my expectations for the car. I'm blown away how stunning the paint looks now with the paint correction. The car was previously covered in swirl marks. It will be incredibly easy to maintain now with the ceramic coating. Also, the ppf on the bumper provides great peace of mind for my freshly painted euro bumper and lip.
I purchased a used Civic Si and knew it needed paint correction + ceramic coating to protect. Reached out to Brandon and he provided helpful feedback and worked w/me to set up a time for service. Very easy to deal with and took the time to explain the process. Brandon's team did excellent work and I'm very happy w/the results. The car looks like new again!
Can't say enough good things about the whole gang over at Golden State! From the very first phone call, Brandon was on top of getting my car looking the way it always should have. The pricing was very reasonable, I could tell they took their time, and they beautifully applied the coating.
Had my WRX paint corrected and ceramic coated back in February. Honestly, the car looks better than when I got it new from Subaru. Coating is holding strong and cleaning the car is a breeze.
Audi dealership heavily swirled my new car paint prior to driveoff, so I brought in my new Q8 etron to Golden State Auto for a full exterior detail, including paint correction, and ceramic coating. … Brandon and the team did an amazing job. After their detailing, the car paint glistened better than it ever did at the dealership.
Anything else, text us a photo of the paint in direct sunlight. A real person answers.
Machine polishing that removes a very thin layer of clear coat to level out swirl marks, water spots and light scratches. The defects are gone, not covered up. It is the difference between a car that looks clean and a car that looks new.
Most of them. If you can catch a scratch with your fingernail it is through the clear coat, and polishing will not remove it. We will tell you which ones will come out at drop off, and we can usually make the deep ones a lot less visible.
Yes, when it is done right. Correction removes a few microns of clear coat, a fraction of what the factory applied. We measure the thickness on every panel before we start and only remove what the paint can spare. That is why we never guess and never rush it.
The ones we remove are gone for good. New ones can show up over time, usually from automatic car washes and dirty towels, and no shop can promise otherwise. We will show you how to wash it so they do not, and a ceramic coating makes the paint harder to scratch and far easier to keep clean.
If you want the result to last, yes. Correction gives you the perfect finish, the coating keeps it that way for years. Our third package bundles the two.
One day for the Enhancement Polish, 2 to 3 days for a Showroom Correction, and 3 to 4 days when a ceramic coating is added. The car stays indoors the whole time.
Every car is quoted individually based on size, color and the condition of the paint. Send the year, make and model and a photo in direct sunlight, and you will have an out-the-door number within 30 minutes during business hours.
