Restore the True Beauty of Your Paint
Your vehicle's paint tells a story — make sure it says the right one. At ChattLuxe Auto Spa, we offer advanced paint correction services designed to restore depth, clarity, and shine to your paintwork.
Whether you’re prepping for a show, upgrading your daily driver, or protecting a new investment, our correction services deliver flawless, high-gloss results that turn heads.
What Is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a professional polishing process that eliminates surface imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat. Using multi-stage machine polishing, we remove swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, etching, and more — restoring that coveted showroom finish.
Unlike waxing or polishing alone, paint correction removes defects instead of covering them up.
Common imperfections corrected include:
Swirl marks
Fine scratches and towel marks
Oxidation and haze
Water spots and acid rain damage
Buffer trails and holograms

Paint Correction FAQs
Common questions about paint correction at ChattLuxe Auto Spa in Chattanooga, TN.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a professional machine polishing process that permanently removes imperfections from your clear coat instead of hiding them. It targets swirl marks, fine scratches and towel marks, oxidation and haze, water spots and acid rain etching, and buffer trails or holograms left by previous work.
Which paint correction package do I need?
Bronze (1 stage) is ideal for newer cars with light swirls that need a gloss boost. Silver (2 stage) handles daily drivers with moderate to heavy swirls and light scratches. Luxe (3 stage) is our most intensive option for show cars, dark colors, or neglected paint. We inspect every vehicle under LED lighting before recommending a package.
How much does paint correction cost in Chattanooga?
Bronze 1 stage correction starts at $599, Silver 2 stage starts at $1,099, and Luxe 3 stage starts at $1,399. Pricing varies with vehicle size and the condition of the paint.
How long does paint correction take?
Bronze is a 1 to 2 day turnaround. Silver and Luxe are 2 to 3 days since each additional compounding, polishing, or jeweling stage is done panel by panel.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
It removes defects that live in the clear coat, which covers most swirls, light scratches, and oxidation. A scratch deep enough to catch your fingernail has usually gone through the clear coat and may need touch up paint or refinishing instead. We will tell you honestly what polishing can and cannot fix during your inspection.
Should I protect the paint after correction?
Yes. Freshly corrected paint is at its best and deserves protection. Most clients add a ceramic coating for years of gloss and chemical resistance, or paint protection film on high impact areas like the hood and bumper to guard against rock chips.
