Paint Correction in Katy, TX

Paint correction in Katy starts at $279 for a single-stage polish on a sedan or coupe. Two-stage correction is $479. Multi-stage for severely oxidized or heavily scratched paint is $649. SUVs and trucks run slightly higher. We inspect the paint before recommending a stage.

The most common cause in Katy is automatic car washes on I-10 and along Katy Mills Boulevard. Spinning brushes and dirty cloth strips drag fine particles across the paint at speed, leaving circular micro-scratches. Improper hand washing technique (using a single-bucket method or rough towels) is the second most common cause. These are all repairable with machine polishing.

It depends on how deep the etching goes. Light to moderate water spot etching responds well to a two-stage correction. If the water has been sitting and drying repeatedly for months or years in Katy's heat, the etching may be deep enough to require multi-stage work. In rare cases where mineral deposits have etched completely through the clear coat, polishing alone cannot fix it. We always inspect first.

Paint correction removes defects that exist at the time of service. New defects will develop over time if the vehicle continues to go through automatic washes or is washed improperly. For long-term defect prevention, we recommend applying ceramic coating after correction, which makes future scratches significantly harder to inflict and easier to avoid.
