Paint Correction at Xcel Detailing

Before your vehicle can truly shine, the surface needs to be flawless.
At Xcel Detailing, our Paint Correction process safely removes swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections that dull your car’s finish.

We believe in doing it right — because ceramic coating is only as good as the surface underneath.
Our correction services ensure your paintwork is smooth, clear, and ready for maximum gloss, protection, and long-term results.

Bring Back the True Shine of Your Vehicle’s Paintwork.

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a professional polishing process that removes surface defects from your car’s clear coat — including:

  • Swirl marks

  • Paint oxidization

  • Water spots

  • Light etching and surface haze

Using advanced machine polishing and techniques, we restore the clarity and depth of your paint, leaving a high-gloss, showroom finish.

Why Paint Correction is Essential for Ceramic Coating

To get the best results with ceramic coating, polishing and correcting the paint is a crucial first step. Without correcting imperfections, the ceramic coating will lock in imperfections and fail to provide the maximum shine and protection.

  • Two-Stage Paint Correction: A deeper correction process to remove moderate scratches, oxidation, and restore a smoother surface.
