- Your paint looks clean but dull or hazy in direct sun
- You can see light swirl marks in the reflection
- There's light oxidation or water spotting on the surface
- You want maximum gloss without the cost of full multi-stage correction
- You're prepping for a car show or sale and want a deeper finish

FAQ
Stage 1 Paint Enhancement Questions
What's the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?+
Stage 1 is a single-stage polish that removes light swirls and boosts gloss. Stage 2 is a multi-stage process with compounding and finishing polish that removes moderate to heavy swirls, scratches, and defects for a flawless mirror finish.
Will Stage 1 remove all my scratches?+
It removes light swirls, micro-marring, and light oxidation. Deeper scratches need Stage 2 or Advanced Multi-Stage Correction. We'll assess and recommend honestly.
Is machine polishing safe for my clear coat?+
Yes — we use a dual-action polisher with light finishing compounds that remove minimal clear coat, far less aggressive than rotary buffing. We measure paint thickness on heavier corrections.
How long does Stage 1 take?+
Typically a full day depending on vehicle size. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
Should I add ceramic coating after enhancement?+
Strongly recommended — coating locks in the enhanced finish for years. See our Detail + Stage 1 Paint Correction featured package or any ceramic coating service.
