PAINT CORRECTION SERVICES IN RHODE ISLAND
Restore True Clarity, Gloss & Depth to Your Vehicle’s Paint
Paint correction is the most effective way to remove swirls, haze, oxidation, and years of improper washing that reduce your paint’s true color and shine. If you’ve ever seen a vehicle glowing with flawless clarity under the sun, that finish didn’t happen by accident — it was achieved through professional paint correction.
At Pristine Auto Clean, we specialize in precision paint correction for cars, SUVs, trucks, luxury vehicles, and collector cars across Rhode Island. Whether your paint is lightly swirled or severely oxidized, we carefully restore clarity using proven techniques, premium products, and a meticulous, multi-stage process.
What Causes Swirls, Holograms & Paint Imperfections?
Those spiderweb-like marks you see in sunlight are caused by:
-
Improper wash methods
-
Automatic car washes
-
Dried-on contaminants
-
Abrasive towels or dirty sponges
-
Poor-quality detailing work
-
Body shop buffer holograms
These defects scatter light, making the paint look dull, scratched, and aged.
Paint correction safely removes or minimizes these defects by leveling a controlled amount of clear coat — revealing the true color and gloss beneath.
Why Choose Professional Paint Correction?
Paint correction isn’t a quick buff or a one-pass polishing session. It’s a technical, multi-step process that requires skill, patience, lighting, specialized equipment, and real industry experience.
At Pristine Auto Clean, every correction service includes:
-
Paint thickness measurements on every panel
-
Inspection of repainted or thin areas
-
Methodical machine polishing stages
-
Safe, controlled removal of defects
-
Honest expectations and safe limits
We don’t chase perfection at the cost of your clear coat. Some deep marks may not be safely removable — and we’ll always be upfront about that.
Free In-Person Consultation Required!
Paint correction is unique to every vehicle. To guarantee the best and safest results, we require a free in-person consultation before scheduling.
