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.
Mobile Paint Correction in Tucson — Cut, Polish, Restore
123 Steam specializes in correcting tired, swirled, and hazy paint. Using professional polishers, cutting compounds, and refined finishing pads, our technicians remove the defects that dull your finish — light scratches, buffer trails, water spots, and oxidation — instead of just hiding them under filler glazes. The outcome is genuinely restored clarity and a mirror-like reflection across your paint correction in Tucson.
We bring the entire correction process to you in Tucson. After a decontamination wash and clay treatment, we measure and assess the paint, then perform single- or multi-stage correction tailored to your vehicle's condition. Paint correction pairs perfectly with a ceramic coating: once the surface is flawless, locking it in protects all that work for years. Whether you are prepping for a coating or reviving a daily driver, 123 Steam paint correction gives you back the gloss.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does paint correction remove?
Multi-stage correction physically levels the clear coat to remove swirl marks, wash-induced scratches, buffer holograms, oxidation, and water spotting. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat can be improved but not always fully erased — we will assess and tell you honestly what is achievable.
Should I get paint correction before a ceramic coating?
Absolutely. Correction and coating go hand in hand. A ceramic coating is semi-permanent, so any swirls or defects present at coating time get sealed in. Correcting first means you lock in a flawless, glossy finish rather than preserving the flaws.
Is paint correction done at my location in Tucson?
Yes. 123 Steam is fully mobile — we bring professional polishers, lighting, and power to your home or office anywhere in the Tucson metro and perform the correction on-site. No shop visit or drop-off needed.
One-stage or multi-stage — which do I need?
It depends on your paint's condition. A one-stage polish restores significant gloss and removes lighter defects, while multi-stage correction uses a dedicated cutting step for heavier swirls and oxidation. We evaluate your paint in person and recommend the right level for your goals and budget.
How long will the results last?
Paint correction permanently removes the defects we level out — they do not return. New swirls can appear over time from improper washing, which is why we recommend protecting freshly corrected paint with a ceramic coating and proper wash technique to keep that gloss looking new.
