Paint Correction Service in Albuquerque, NM

 Imagine a finish so flawless, free from swirls, scratches, and imperfections, that it radiates a showroom-quality shine. That's precisely what Paint Correction from our team of professionals can deliver—a complete rejuvenation of your car's paintwork!


Paint Correction from Forthright Detail is a meticulous process designed to restore a vehicle's paintwork to a flawless and showroom-quality finish by eliminating imperfections, swirl marks, scratches, and other defects.


Here's what you can expect from our process:


  1. Assessment: One of our professionals examines your vehicle's paint to assess its condition, identifying imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and other surface defects.
  2. Surface Preparation: Your vehicle will undergo thorough cleaning and decontamination to remove dirt, grime, and any residues that might interfere with the correction process. At this point we may need to clay bar your vehicle and will sometimes use iron removers or bug/tar removers.
  3. Test Spot: A test spot will be utilized on a small, inconspicuous area to determine the optimal combination of polishing pads, compounds, and techniques needed to achieve the desired results without causing damage to your paint.
  4. Paint Correction Process: Using specialized polishers along with various grades of polishing pads and abrasive compounds, our detailer will meticulously correct imperfections in the paint. This involves multiple polishing stages, gradually refining the surface to eliminate swirls, scratches, and other defects.
  5. Polishing Stages: We typically employ multiple polishing stages, starting with more aggressive compounds and pads to remove deeper defects and gradually moving to finer compounds and pads for refining and enhancing the paint's gloss.
  6. Finishing Polish: A finishing polish or jeweling step is employed to further refine the paint, maximizing gloss, and clarity while removing any remaining fine imperfections.
  7. Protective Coating Application: After paint correction, we recommend a protective layer such as a sealant, wax, or ceramic coating be applied to preserve the newly corrected paint and enhance its durability and shine.
  8. Final Inspection: A meticulous inspection is conducted to ensure that the paint correction process has been completed satisfactorily, with a focus on achieving a defect-free, high-gloss finish.


Paint correction is a specialized and time-intensive process that requires expertise, precision, and high-quality products. Forthright Detail offers varying levels of paint correction packages tailored to the condition and needs of your specific vehicle. You can expect significantly improved paint quality, depth, gloss, and overall appearance of your vehicle's paintwork after our professional paint correction service.
