WE SPECIALIZE IN DARK PAINT
At Optyx Auto Studio, paint correction is more than just a service, it's a transformation. Over time, your vehicle's paint inevitably picks up imperfections like swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, and water spots. These blemishes dull the finish and detract from the car’s overall appearance, no matter how often it's washed or waxed.
Our professional paint correction process safely removes these defects, restoring the clarity, depth, and shine of your vehicle’s paintwork.
Using industry leading tools, lighting, and techniques, we meticulously refine each surface to reveal a flawless finish.
Unlike basic detailing or polishing, true paint correction goes beneath the surface to permanently eliminate imperfections, not just mask them. The result is a mirror-like gloss that enhances color richness and gives your car a finish that's often better than showroom new.
Investing in paint correction not only elevates your vehicle’s visual appeal but also preserves its long-term value.
Whether you're preparing for a ceramic coating, looking to make your daily driver stand out, or showcasing a prized vehicle, this process lays the foundation for excellence. At Optyx Auto Studio, we bring out the best in your paint, because your car deserves nothing less than perfection.

WHERE PAINT MEETS PERFECTION
THE PROFESSIONAL PAINT CORRECTION PROCESS
WASH AND PREP THE VEHICLE
The initial phase of the paint correction process we perform at Optyx Auto Studio involves meticulously washing the vehicle’s exterior and decontaminating it in full. This is crucial for eliminating surface impurities such as dirt, dust, and grime that can interfere with the correction process or that obscure the defects that are present. Once the hand washing portion of detailing is complete, additional steps are often needed to tackle more stubborn, embedded contaminants. For this, we use a clay bar that effectively agitate and lift particles that are deeply ingrained in the paint, setting the stage for the subsequent steps in the paint correction process.
INSPECTING THE PAINTED SURFACES
Once your vehicle has been fully cleaned and is completely dry, our professional detailers thoroughly inspects the condition of your vehicle’s paintwork under well-lit conditions or by using handheld LED shop lights. This detailed scrutiny allows us to pinpoint specific imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and signs of oxidation that the naked eye under traditional lighting cannot easily see. The type of flaws identified during this phase will dictate the kind of correction methods that will be used or allow our team to suggest a deeper, more thorough correction effort. The more severe the imperfections, the more intense the correction techniques that are needed from us.
CUT, BUFF, AND POLISH YOUR CLEAR COAT
In this crucial stage, the real work of paint correction gets underway to set a new standard of gloss and perfection on your vehicle. We use all types of specialized tools during the cutting, buffing, and polishing process, along with different grades of polish or compound to target and remove the identified imperfections appropriately. For minor issues like swirl marks, a less aggressive, lighter polish is typically sufficient and gentle buffing pads. However, for more serious defects like scratches, a heavier compound and more abrasive cutting may be necessary. The general rule of thumb is to begin with the mildest compound available and gradually escalate to more aggressive solutions as required to achieve the desired results. NOTE: Our team will measure paint thickness before this process to make sure we do not remove too much clear coat.
FINALLY, WE SEAL AND PROTECT YOUR FINISH
Once the paint has been meticulously corrected, the focus shifts to preserving that newfound luster. The final step in the paint correction process involves applying a protective layer to the vehicle's surface, which is traditionally an entry-level sealant unless you choose to upgrade to a ceramic coating or paint protection film. Whichever option is chosen, the primary aim is to lock in the freshly corrected finish or with regard to ceramic coating packages, to embellish the luster, depth, and color richness further without having to re-apply wax to your vehicle more frequently. Protection from a PPF as an option serves as a barrier against potential future degradation, ensuring the vehicle's exterior remains in pristine condition for a longer period of time.
