Paint correction
Restore your finish without repainting or covering defects. Oftentimes vehicles can be brought back to brand new condition.
As close to factory as possible
Our full paint correction is designed to restore your paint as close to a factory finish as possible. Polishing can take multiple steps to remove as many defects as possible.
Our one-step polish can remove lighter defects, especially on newer vehicles. Older vehicles, or cars that frequently visit the drive-through car wash, may need more work to get there.
We highly recommend following correction with a ceramic coating to keep the finish protected, since clear coat is lightly removed during the process.
Before & after
Real cars from the shop, same panel and same lighting. Drag the handle to compare.
The process
- Measure. Specialty tools like paint gauges make sure we never harm the finish.
- Cut. Coarser compounds and pads, sometimes even wet sanding certain blemishes, until the defects are removed.
- Polish. Polishing out the haze left from cutting to bring back clarity.
- Protect. A ceramic coating to keep the corrected finish looking that way.

I brought my car to Colin to see if he could remove some minor and not-so-minor scratches from my paint. He was upfront and said some of the deeper ones may not come out. I ended up getting a paint correction, full buff, and ceramic coating on all my exterior parts and all I can say is wow! The paint, plastics, and even the headlights/taillights look new. The deep scratches are still there, as expected, but they are greatly diminished. I’ll certainly be back with my other cars.
I took my RC350 to Colin for a one step paint correction. He did an amazing job. His attention to detail is awesome and his enthusiasm for his job is infectious. Great business that I would recommend to anyone who cares about their vehicle.
I recently reached out to It’ll Buff Detailing in Woodstock regarding an issue with the paint on my car, Colin was very quick to respond and knew immediately what the problem was and let me know what my options were to fix it. I appreciated his knowledge and honesty. I highly recommend It’ll Buff Detailing.
Common questions
One-step polish or full correction?
A one-step polish can remove lighter defects, especially on newer vehicles. Older vehicles, or cars that see a lot of drive-through car washes, usually need the full correction.
Can every scratch come out?
Not always. If a scratch catches your fingernail it's likely through the clear coat. It can usually be made much less visible, and you'll know what to expect before any work starts.
Should I coat after correcting?
Yes, highly recommended. Clear coat is lightly removed during correction, and a coating keeps that finish protected.
