PAINT CORRECTION: WHY IT COST WHAT IT COSTS
If you’ve ever gotten a quote for paint correction and thought, “Why is it more expensive than a regular detail?” — here’s the truth:
YOU'RE PAYING FOR SKILL, NOT JUST TIME
Paint correction is not a basic car wash or quick buff job. It takes:
-
Trained hands that know how to handle paint systems properly
-
Specialized tools (polishers, lighting, measuring gauges)
-
Premium products designed to correct—not cover up—imperfections
It’s precision work. One wrong move and you can burn through your paint. That's why amateurs skip it — and pros charge for it.
LABOR-INTENSIVE MEANS TIME-CONSUMING
Most paint correction jobs take 6–15+ hours, depending on:
-
The car’s size
-
The condition of the paint
-
The level of correction (1-step, 2-step, or 3-step)
You’re not just paying for someone’s time — you’re investing in results that last.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Package Type Price Range What You Get
