Swirls, scratches, oxidation — machined out, not hidden. The paint you forgot was under there.
Defects removed, not filled
Paint correction is the physical removal of clear-coat defects using graded polishes and machine pads. Swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation are levelled out of the clear coat itself — they are not filled, masked, or hidden under a glaze that washes off in a month.
True correction is a multi-stage process: compounding for the heavy cut, polishing to refine, and finishing for clarity. A single-step polish can lift gloss and remove light marring, but it cannot match the depth and defect removal of a proper two- or three-stage correction. The difference is the difference between “cleaner” and “new.”
At Sleekz Automotive, every correction is performed in a climate-controlled bay at 37 Minford Ave, Scarborough, ON, M1R 2B4, under consistent lighting and temperature. Pairing the work with a ceramic coating afterward locks in the gloss and stops the next round of swirls before they start.
The holographic webbing daily washing creates — machined out of the clear coat, not buried under filler.
Fingernail-test scratches reduced or removed entirely with the right pad and polish combination.
Faded, chalky paint brought back to depth and color — the way it looked when it left the factory.
The deep, wet look every exotic owner wants. Reflections sharpen, color darkens, gloss multiplies.
We measure clear coat depth before we cut. No guessing, no over-polishing, no burned edges.
The only safe base for ceramic coating or PPF. Locking defects under a coating preserves them forever.
Three tiers, from gloss enhancement to show-car finish.
A single polish stage that removes 60–80% of swirls and lifts gloss on paint already in decent shape.

Verified under multiple light sources, wiped with IPA to strip oils, then protected immediately to lock it in.
Straight Answers for Scarborough & GTA Car Owners
The correction itself is permanent — once defects are physically removed from the clear coat, they are gone. What matters is what you do next. Protecting the corrected paint with ceramic coating or PPF keeps it looking that way for years. Without protection, daily washing and weather will start re-introducing swirls within months.
No — not when done properly. We measure clear coat thickness with a paint depth gauge before we cut, start with the least aggressive pad and polish combination, and only step up if needed. The risk in paint correction comes from guessing. We do not guess.
It depends on depth. The fingernail test is the rule: if your fingernail catches in a scratch, it has gone through the clear coat into the base coat or primer. Correction can reduce the visual impact and round the edges, but it cannot fully remove a scratch that deep without respraying the panel.
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Correction strips the paint bare of any old wax, sealant, or filler. The freshly cut clear coat is the perfect bonding surface for a ceramic coating, which then locks in the gloss and keeps swirls from coming back through everyday washing.
Ideally, once. Done properly and then protected with a ceramic coating or PPF, you should not need another full correction for years. Owners who skip protection often end up correcting every 12–18 months as fresh swirls accumulate. Correct it right, protect it well, and it lasts.
