Paint Correction and Polishing in Savannah, GA

If your vehicle’s paint looks dull, hazy, or covered in swirl marks, you’re not alone—Savannah’s sun, humidity, tree pollen, and coastal contaminants take a serious toll on clear coat. Our Paint Correction & Polishing service restores gloss, removes imperfections, and rejuvenates your vehicle’s finish so it looks dramatically newer.

Benjamin’s Mobile Detailing offers professional paint correction throughout Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Georgetown, and surrounding areas. We come to you fully equipped with compounds, pads, and machines designed to safely remove paint defects and restore your vehicle’s shine.

What Paint Correction Fixes

Paint correction removes embedded defects that washing or waxing can’t fix. These issues sit within the clear coat and require machine polishing to properly repair.

  • Swirl marks from automatic washes
  • Light to moderate scratches
  • Oxidation and dullness
  • Water spots and mineral deposits
  • Haze or cloudiness in the finish
  • Sun damage (common in Georgia)
  • Micro-marring from improper washing

Levels of Paint Correction

Not every vehicle needs the same level of polishing. We offer three customizable correction options depending on the condition of your paint and the results you want.

  • Level 1 – Gloss Enhancement Polish
    Light polish that boosts shine, enhances clarity, and removes very light imperfections.
  • Level 2 – One-Step Correction
    Removes moderate defects while significantly increasing gloss; our most popular option.
  • Level 3 – Multi-Step Correction
    Ideal for neglected or heavily swirled paint; delivers maximum defect removal and showroom clarity.

What’s Included in Paint Correction

All correction services follow a structured process to ensure safe and consistent results:

  • Exterior pre-rinse and foam wash
  • Clay bar treatment to remove bonded contaminants
  • Paint inspection under proper lighting
  • Machine polishing using high-quality compounds and pads
  • Panel wipe to remove polish residues
  • Optional protective coating or sealant

Perfect Before Ceramic Coating

If you’re planning to apply ceramic coating, paint correction is essential. Coatings lock in whatever condition the paint is in—so correcting scratches and swirls first ensures a beautiful, long-lasting finish.

  • Ceramic Coating Application – ultimate protection and gloss
  • Wax or Sealant – ideal if you want a budget-friendly protective layer

Is Paint Correction Right for You?

This service is perfect if:

  • Your paint looks dull or lacks shine
  • You see swirls under sunlight
  • Your vehicle has light scratches from washing or daily use
  • You want your car to look newer without repainting
  • You’re preparing your car for ceramic coating
