Paint Correction FAQ’s

Whether it’s your first time booking paint correction or you have had restoration work before, here are answers to the most common questions from Newton drivers. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.

What is paint correction?

Paint correction is a multi-step machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, oxidation, holograms, light scratches, hazing, and other imperfections from your clear coat. The result is a dramatically deeper, glossier, mirror-like finish.

How do I know if my vehicle needs paint correction?

If you notice dullness, spider-web swirls, fine scratches, or your paint looks cloudy under sunlight, you likely need correction. Many brand-new vehicles also arrive from dealerships with defects.

Will paint correction remove all scratches?

It removes most defects but cannot safely remove deep scratches that have penetrated the clear coat. If you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it may require touch-up or wet sanding.

How long does paint correction take?

Depending on the paint condition, vehicle size, and correction level, the process usually takes 4–12+ hours. Severe corrections can extend to multiple days.

Do you recommend ceramic coating after paint correction?

Absolutely. Correction restores clarity and gloss, while ceramic coating locks in those results and provides long-term protection. This combination offers the best possible finish and durability.

Will paint correction thin my clear coat?

A minimal amount of clear coat is removed — but only what is necessary. Professional equipment and controlled polishing ensure your paint remains healthy and protected.
