Paint Correction in Prosper, TX
Swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and oxidation hide your car's real color and gloss. Paint correction removes them. Ed machine-polishes the damaged top layer of clear coat down to a clean, level surface, so you get deep, mirror-like gloss that wax can only fake for a few weeks.
Duke Detailing is an owner-operated detailing studio in Prosper, TX. Every car is worked on by Ed himself, in a dedicated garage bay (we're not a mobile service). We serve drivers from Prosper, Frisco, McKinney and Celina.
What paint correction fixes
• Swirl marks and spider-webbing from automatic car washes and poor wash technique
• Light scratches and marring that sit in the clear coat
• Water spots and mineral etching left behind by hard North Texas water
• Oxidation and haze that make paint look flat and faded
Deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat can't be polished out safely. We'll tell you honestly what can and can't be improved before we start.
Our multi-step paint correction process
1. Wash and decontamination. A multi-step wash plus chemical and mechanical decontamination, so nothing gets ground into the paint.
2. Inspection. We check the paint under proper lighting to see how much correction it needs.
3. Compounding. A cutting compound removes the swirls, scratches and oxidation, with extra passes where the paint needs them.
4. Refining polish. A finishing polish refines the surface and brings out maximum gloss and clarity.
5. Wipe-down and protection. The panels are cleaned so the paint is bare and ready for a coating or PPF.
Paint correction pricing
• 1-step polish: included with every ceramic coating and PPF package
• Multi-step paint correction: $300–$800, depending on your paint's condition
Why paint correction comes before ceramic coating
A ceramic coating bonds to your paint and locks in whatever's underneath, flaws included, for years. That's why correction is the ideal prep. Correct first and the coating seals in a flawless finish. Every ceramic coating and PPF package already includes a 1-step polish. For heavier swirls, scratches or oxidation, multi-step paint correction ($300–$800, depending on paint condition) goes further. Pair it with our lifetime NanoPro Borophene or Borograph ceramic coating (from $1,100, with CARFAX registration) or NanoPro Liquid PPF for protection that lasts.

Paint correction FAQ
How long does paint correction take?
It depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint. Combined with a ceramic coating, the whole job usually takes 10–20 hours. Most cars are dropped off mid-day and picked up late the next day.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
It removes clear-coat defects like swirls, light scratches, water spots and oxidation. Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail may only be reduced.
Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?
Not always. Every ceramic coating and PPF package includes a 1-step polish. If your paint has visible swirls or scratches, though, multi-step correction first ($300–$800, depending on paint condition) gives a much better final result, because the coating will lock in whatever finish is underneath.
