Before Correction
What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a professional machine-polishing process that removes or reduces swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and haze from a vehicle’s clear coat. Instead of temporarily hiding defects, it refines the paint to restore clarity, depth, and gloss. The recommended level depends on the condition of the paint and the results you want.

Our Professional Paint Correction Process
Vehicle Evaluation
Your vehicle is inspected under proper lighting to assess the paint condition, identify swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other defects, and determine the correction level that best fits the finish.
Surface Preparation
The exterior is hand washed and thoroughly decontaminated to remove road film, iron particles, tar, and bonded buildup. Sensitive trim and edges are masked before polishing begins.
Paint Correction & Approval
The selected paint-correction process is completed using the appropriate polishing stages. We then review the results with you for approval and confirm the finish meets the outcome you were looking for.
Final Inspection & Protection
We complete a final inspection, address any necessary touch-ups, and apply a six-month ceramic sealant to help protect the corrected finish and maintain its gloss.
Paint Correction For Aged Finishes
Older paint needs a more careful approach than modern clear coat. We inspect the finish first, then choose a polishing process based on its condition. The goal is to reduce oxidation, haze, light scratches, and swirl marks while preserving as much of the original finish as possible.

Paint Transfer Removal
Not Every Scratch Needs a Body Shop
Many marks that look like deep scratches are actually paint transfer sitting on top of the clear coat. At Blomker Detailing, we inspect the damage first, then use a controlled cleaning and polishing process to safely reduce or remove the transferred material. The result can be a cleaner, smoother finish without unnecessary body-shop repairs.

Paint Correction Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Paint Correction and How Does It Work?
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process that carefully refines a vehicle’s clear coat to reduce swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, haze, and other visible defects. We inspect the paint first and select the polishing process that best fits its condition and the result you want.
How Much Does Paint Correction Cost in Minneapolis?
Paint-correction services at Blomker Detailing start at $599. Final pricing depends on the vehicle’s size, paint condition, defect severity, and the correction level selected. We inspect the finish before confirming the recommended service and price.
Will Paint Correction Remove Every Scratch?
No. Paint correction can reduce or remove many defects located within the clear coat, but scratches that extend through the clear coat or color layer may require touch-up paint or body-shop repair. Our inspection helps determine what can be safely improved without removing unnecessary clear coat.
What Is the Difference Between Gloss Enhancement and Paint Correction?
A gloss enhancement is a lighter polishing service designed to restore shine and reduce approximately 40% of light defects. Level 1 paint correction targets approximately 60% or more defect removal, while Level 2 uses additional correction and refinement stages to target approximately 85% or more when the paint safely allows it.
How Long Does a Paint Correction Service Take?
Most paint-correction services require at least one full day. Larger vehicles, heavily damaged finishes, and multi-stage correction may require additional time. We provide a more accurate completion estimate after evaluating the vehicle and confirming the correction level.
Should I Protect the Paint After Correction?
Yes. Protection helps preserve the corrected finish and makes routine washing easier. Every Blomker Detailing paint-correction package includes a six-month ceramic sealant, and longer-lasting ceramic-coating options are available for customers who want extended protection.
