Paint Correction in North Vancouver

Swirls and scratches, machine-polished out.

Washing can't fix swirl marks - they live in the clear coat itself. I machine-polish them out. A one-step polish is a single refining pass for lightly swirled paint; a two-step correction adds a compounding pass first for deeper scratches and heavier defects. I check your paint in person, quote the hours in writing at $120/hour, and you approve before anything is booked.

Before and after: swirl removal on the North Shore

Drag the slider. Same truck, same black paint - the left is how it arrived, the right is after a two-step correction: a compounding pass, then a polishing pass.

How I correct paint

Machine polishing removes a microscopic layer of clear coat to level out the scratches, so it has to be done carefully - the right pad, the right compound, and constant checks under an inspection light. This is the craft I trained at Rinse Lab to refine, and it is all done in your driveway anywhere in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or Deep Cove.
