Typically reduces approximately 70–90% of eligible defects depending on paint hardness, thickness, history and defect depth. Deep scratches, rock chips and clear-coat failure may remain; complete scratch removal is not guaranteed.
Paint correction safely improves defects within the clear coat but cannot repair defects that penetrate too deeply into or through the clear coat.

Stage 1 vs Stage 2
Stage 1 — from $349: one-step polishing for light swirls, oxidation, haze and minor wash defects on relatively healthy paint. Stage 2 — from $599: dedicated cutting/compounding followed by refining polish for heavier swirls, moderate clear-coat scratches and greater oxidation; typically 70–90% reduction of eligible defects, never guaranteed. Paint correction safely improves defects within the clear coat but cannot repair defects that penetrate too deeply into or through the clear coat. Results depend on paint condition, paint thickness, previous repairs and defect severity. NOVA prioritizes preservation of clear-coat integrity over aggressive defect removal. Final recommendations and pricing are confirmed following vehicle assessment.

Common questions
Something not covered here? Contact us or read the general FAQ.
- What's the difference between paint enhancement and paint correction?
- Enhancement is a single-stage polish that boosts gloss and reduces light haze. Correction is a more involved multi-stage process that measurably reduces swirls and moderate defects. We recommend the level after seeing the paint.
- Can deep scratches be fixed?
- Defects through the clear coat can't be polished out safely. We'll tell you honestly what can be improved, what can be reduced, and what needs touch-up or bodywork instead.
- Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
- Existing ceramic packages include Stage 1; the new Stage 2 versions replace it with cutting and refining before coating. Heavier defects may benefit from Stage 2 after assessment. Coating does not hide scratches.
