Professional Paint Correction
At Elite Auto Designs, we specialize in professional paint correction and paint restoration services that permanently remove surface imperfections from your vehicle's clear coat. Unlike waxes or glazes that temporarily mask defects, our machine polishing process physically levels the surface to eliminate swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, water spots, and buffer trails.
Our certified technicians offer single-stage polishing, two-stage paint correction, multi-stage restoration, hologram removal, wet sanding, and orange peel removal for a glass-smooth, showroom-quality finish. We always measure clear coat thickness with a paint depth gauge before recommending any service to ensure safe, effective correction.
For lasting results, we recommend pairing your paint correction with ceramic coating to lock in the flawless finish and prevent future swirl marks and environmental damage. Our paint decontamination, clay bar treatment, and iron removal prepare the surface for perfect results on every vehicle.
What We Can Fix
A patient hand devoted to lifting away the marks of time — restoring the depth and clarity hidden beneath your finish.
Swirl Marks
Caused by improper washing techniques and automatic car washes. We use precision polishing to safely remove these circular scratches.
Scratches
Clear coat scratches from everyday wear can often be corrected. We assess depth to determine if polishing or wet sanding is needed.
Oxidation
UV damage causes paint to fade and become chalky. Our restoration process removes damaged layers to reveal fresh paint beneath.
Water Spots
Hard water and mineral deposits etch into paint over time. We safely remove these blemishes without damaging the clear coat.
