Removal of swirls & scratches with Paint Correction

How Do Vehicles Develop Clear Coat Defects?

Every vehicle’s paintwork, whether it is a brand new model or a well-loved classic, is prone to developing clear coat defects over time. These surface imperfections come from various sources: routine exposure to the elements, minor abrasions during cleaning, and regular use.


Paint corretion is ideal preparation stage prior to a ceramic coating, but in the process we can remove many defects such as:

  • Swirl marks
  • Light scratches and abrasions
  • Oxidation and fading



But with swirl marks, minor scratches, and general dullness in the paint's shine, paint correction comes to the rescue. At Panoramic Detail, we provide Rhode Island vehicle owners relief from the issues of daily driving and more. Pro-grade paint correction services can bring out the best in any vehicle’s appearance by eliminating surface defects.

Common Myths About Paint Correction Services

The number 1 is in a circle on a white background.

Myth 1: Paint correction does not add any value

This is wrong. Paint correction adds value by removing paint defects such as swirl marks, minor scratches, and oxidation. The value added comes from our ability to enhance the overall look of your vehicle’s exterior. By revitalizing the paint's clarity and gloss and removing clear coat defects, paint correction at Panoramic Detail brings a like-new shine to your ride that reflects high-quality maintenance and attention to detail. This enhancement makes a vehicle more visually appealing and can attract prospective buyers who appreciate a well-kept appearance.

The number two is in a circle on a white background.

Myth 2: Paint correction always requires a more aggressive approach

This is not true. A more aggressive approach to paint correction will not always yield better results. In reality, the goal of paint correction services is to achieve maximum improvement with minimal removal of the clear coat on your paintwork. Using a gentler approach and choosing the right level of paint correction preserves as much of the clear coat as possible. At Panoramic Detail, we aim for precision rather than intensity, ensuring the paint correction process is safe for your vehicle while delivering the highest-quality finish.

The number three is in a black circle on a white background.

Myth 3: Paint correction is only beneficial for older, well-worn vehicles

Paint correction is an exceptional option not only for older vehicles but also for new vehicles that need some refining before applying a ceramic coating. Even newer vehicles often show signs of wear in their clear coat. This includes swirl marks, light scratches, scrapes, and other surface imperfections acquired from the dealership or during transport. By refining the finish on both new and old vehicles, Panoramic Detail can enhance the paint’s natural gloss and prepare them all for longer-lasting enhancements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Correction

  • What types of defects will paint correction remove?

    Paint correction from Panoramic Detail can effectively remove various surface imperfections, including swirl marks, minor scratches, scuffs, various levels of surface oxidation, and even etching from rainwater. While it is certainly not a substitute for fixing deeper paint damage that actually cracks through to the painted panel, it addresses issues with the clear coat layer. As a result, this greatly improves the look and feel of your vehicle’s painted surfaces. By focusing on these mild to moderate defects, our paint correction process rejuvenates the paint’s gloss and clarity, leaving the vehicle looking fresh and vibrant.

  • How do I preserve my freshly corrected paint?

    After paint correction, it is key to maintain your vehicle properly to keep the surface in top shape overall. Regular, gentle hand washing with high-quality detailing products, microfiber towels, and careful drying methods can help preserve the paint correction results. Many customers also choose to follow up with a ceramic coating, which provides a layer of resistance to surface oxidation and stains. For better defect resistance, it would be wise to consider adding paint protection film to your vehicle.

  • Is paint correction a permanent solution to paint defects?

    Yes, it is! Paint correction is a permanent treatment that removes clear coat defects rather than masking them superficially. However, while the current defects will be gone, it is important to note that new defects can form in your clear coat over time due to improper washing techniques, environmental exposure, and other hazards your vehicle is exposed to. Proper care and protection packages will help prolong the effects of paint correction, but regular maintenance is still recommended to keep your paint looking its best.
