The art of paint enhancement and correction

January 30, 2026

What is paint enhancement and correction?

Paint correction is a specialized treatment in which imperfections in the car paint are carefully removed. These include swirl marks, light to deep scratches, dull spots, water spots, and oxidation. Unlike waxing or simple polishing, paint correction is not about hiding imperfections, but about actually restoring the paint.

Where do paint imperfections come from?

Paint imperfections occur over time, even on well-maintained cars. The most common causes are:

  • Incorrect washing methods, such as brushes or dirty cloths
  • Scratches in the car wash
  • Sunlight and UV radiation
  • Bird droppings, insects, and tree sap
  • Damage from daily use

These influences cause the paint to lose its shine and look dull or uneven. In addition to aesthetics, this also affects the value of the car. Corrected paint not only looks better, but also reflects better maintenance and care.

Our professional approach to paint enhancements

At Gntlbright, we follow a structured and careful process to achieve maximum results without removing unnecessary paint.

1. Inspection and preparation

We start with a thorough inspection of the paintwork. Using special lighting, we identify all imperfections and measure the paint thickness. The car is then thoroughly washed and chemically cleaned. Embedded dirt is removed with clay to ensure the surface is completely smooth.


2. Polishing and correction

Depending on the condition of the paintwork, we carry out a one-step or multi-step paint correction. Using dual-action and rotary machines, we remove scratches, swirls, and dull spots in a controlled and safe manner. Preserving the paintwork is always our top priority.


3. Refining the finish

After correction, we refine the paintwork for maximum shine and clarity. This ensures a deep color, sharp reflection, and a showroom-worthy appearance.


4. Protecting the result

To maintain the result for a long time, we apply a protective layer. This can be a high-quality ceramic coating or PPF. This protects the paintwork against UV radiation, dirt, and new minor damage.
