FAQ

Paint Correction FAQs — Richmond, VA

How much does paint correction cost in Richmond, VA?

Our Paint Enhancement is $300 for a sedan, $350 for an SUV or truck, and $390 for a large SUV, truck or van. 2-Step Paint Correction is priced by free estimate, because it depends on vehicle size, paint condition and the correction required. Call or text (804) 803-4201 for your estimate.

What’s the difference between paint enhancement and 2-step paint correction?

Paint Enhancement is a single-stage machine polish for dull paint, light swirl marks and minor oxidation, finished with a paint sealant that protects for up to 12 months. 2-Step Paint Correction starts with a paint inspection, then machine compounding to cut moderate scratches, swirl marks, oxidation and visible defects, followed by a fine polishing step for maximum gloss, clarity and depth. Enhancement takes about 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes; 2-step correction takes about 10 hours 30 minutes.

Can paint correction remove all scratches?

Paint correction significantly reduces swirl marks, scratches, oxidation and paint imperfections, but results depend on your paint’s condition and clear-coat thickness. Deep scratches and permanent damage may not be fully removable — we’ll inspect your paint and set expectations before we start.

Should I add a ceramic coating after paint correction?

It’s the best way to protect freshly corrected paint. A ceramic coating locks in the gloss with long-lasting, hydrophobic protection and makes the car easier to maintain. Castillo’s Detailing is a GYEON Certified Detailer, and our ceramic coating starts at $450.
