Our Professional Correction Process
Every paint correction follows our proven process for flawless results
Thorough Wash & Decontamination
We begin with a complete wash using pH-neutral products, followed by iron decontamination and clay bar treatment to remove all bonded contaminants from your paint surface.
Paint Inspection & Measurement
Using specialized lighting and paint depth gauges, we thoroughly inspect your vehicle to identify all defects and measure paint thickness to determine the safest correction approach.
Machine Polishing
Using professional dual-action and rotary polishers with carefully selected compounds and pads, we systematically remove swirl marks, scratches, and defects panel by panel.
Refinement & Final Polish
After the main correction stage, we refine the finish with finer polishes to maximize gloss and clarity. Every panel is inspected under multiple light sources to ensure perfection.
Protection & Final Wipedown
We remove all polishing oils with an IPA wipedown and apply a layer of protection (wax or sealant included with Level 3). Your vehicle is now ready to show off its stunning, defect-free finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is paint correction and do I need it?
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation from your vehicle's clear coat through machine polishing. If your paint looks dull under direct light or you can see spider web-like swirl marks, you'll benefit from paint correction.
What's the difference between a clay bar and polishing?
Clay bar treatment removes bonded contaminants sitting ON the paint surface (like industrial fallout, tree sap, and overspray). Polishing removes defects that are IN the clear coat (like scratches and swirls). We always perform clay bar treatment before polishing to ensure contaminants don't cause additional scratching.
Is hand wax or ceramic coating better after paint correction?
Hand wax provides excellent shine and 2-3 months of protection, perfect for enthusiasts who enjoy regular detailing. Ceramic coating offers 1-4 years of protection with superior durability. After paint correction is the ideal time for either option since your paint is perfectly clean and defect-free.
How long does paint correction take?
Level 1 (light correction) typically takes 3-4 hours. Level 2 (full correction) takes 5-7 hours. Level 3 (show car finish) can take 8-12 hours depending on the vehicle size and paint condition. We never rush the process - your paint deserves proper care.
Can you do paint correction at my location in New Orleans?
Yes! Our mobile detailing service brings professional paint correction directly to you anywhere in the New Orleans metro area. We need a shaded area (garage, carport, or covered parking) and access to a standard electrical outlet. We service New Orleans, Harvey, Gretna, Chalmette, Marrero, Mandeville, and surrounding areas.
Why New Orleans Drivers Trust Our Paint Correction Service
New Orleans's harsh sun, Gulf downpours and storm surge, and environmental pollutants take a serious toll on your vehicle's paint. Swirl marks from improper washing, water spots from hard water, and oxidation from UV exposure can make even newer vehicles look aged and neglected. Professional paint correction restores your paint to better-than-new condition.
The Importance of Proper Paint Preparation
Many detailers skip critical steps like clay bar treatment, leading to poor results and even additional damage. At 713 STEAM, every paint correction starts with thorough decontamination. Clay bar removes industrial fallout, brake dust, tree sap, and other bonded contaminants that would otherwise scratch your paint during polishing.
Protecting Your Investment
After correction, protection is essential. Our Level 3 package includes premium hand wax that enhances gloss and provides 2-3 months of protection. For longer-lasting results, pair your paint correction with ceramic coating for up to 4 years of hydrophobic protection.
