Is paint correction the same as buffing or waxing?

Is paint correction the same as buffing or waxing?

No. Waxing and sealants sit on top of the paint and don't remove defects - they can even fill and temporarily hide swirls. Correction is machine-abraded in stages to physically remove the defect from the clear coat itself.

That's the short answer we give customers at our EaDo, Houston studio — here's the context if you're weighing it for your own car: pricing always depends on vehicle size and condition, so treat published numbers as honest starting points, not gotchas. The fastest way to a real number is the free quote form (same-day in most cases).
