What does each level fix?
| Service | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Spot Scratch & Scuff Correction | From $150 | One isolated scuff, key mark or scratch |
| One-Step Paint Enhancement | From $400 | Light swirls, haze and lost gloss |
| Multi-Step Paint Correction | From $700 | Heavier swirls, oxidation and water spotting |
What is the difference between one-step and two-stage correction?
A one-step enhancement uses a single machine polish to improve gloss and reduce light defects. Multi-step correction uses a dedicated cutting stage followed by a finishing polish, which removes more but takes longer: typically one to two days instead of four to six hours.
Why does paint correction cost what it does?
Most of the price is skilled time. Every job includes a wash, decontamination and a test spot, then careful machine work panel by panel. Larger vehicles, soft or black paint and heavy defects take longer.
Can every scratch be removed?
No. If a scratch has gone through the clear coat, polishing cannot safely remove it. We use the least aggressive method that achieves the result, and we tell you what to expect before starting.
Where can I get it done?
At our Toms River shop, by appointment, or at your home in towns including Toms River, Brick, Jackson, Middletown and Howell.
