Our Process
Decontaminate
A thorough wash, iron remover, and clay strip off bonded grime so we polish paint, not dirt.
Test spot
We dial in the pad and compound on one section first. You see the result before we commit to the whole car.
Correct
Compounding levels the defects, then a finishing polish brings back clarity and that deep, wet look.
Verify and protect
Every panel gets checked under lights, then sealed so the finish stays put.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get every scratch out?
If a scratch hasn't gone through the clear coat, we can usually level it or make it far less visible. Quick check: drag a fingernail across it. If it catches, it's probably too deep to polish out. And we'll tell you that up front instead of chasing it.
Can paint correction really be done in my driveway?
Yes. We bring the machines, lighting, and power to you. Platinum Auto Care covers Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Carrollwood, South Tampa, Temple Terrace, Westchase, and New Tampa.
How long does paint correction take?
Plan on most of a day. A single-stage polish on a sedan moves faster; a multi-step correction on a truck or SUV takes longer. You'll get a clear time window when you book.
Is it worth doing on a black or dark-colored car?
Dark paint shows every swirl, which also means it rewards correction the most. Black and deep metallic finishes deliver the most dramatic before-and-after. We polish enthusiast cars, BMW M5s among them, where the owner notices everything.
Should I add ceramic coating after correction?
Correction makes the paint right; a coating keeps it that way. A ceramic coating locks in whatever sits under it, defects included, so correction first is the proper order. Many clients book both together.

Pricing is listed by vehicle size (car, SUV, or truck), so you know the number before we show up. See the booking page for exact prices, or call or text 813-409-6173 and we'll quote your vehicle.
