Mississauga’s Go-To Paint Correction Pros

Remove your paint’s imperfections to bring out the gloss and clarity

Bring Your Paint Back to Life

Over time, your vehicle’s paint picks up swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and bird droppings. These blemishes slowly dull the shine, leaving it looking tired instead of glossy. What once was a shiny paint now appears flat, hazy, and faded.

That’s where paint correction comes in. This process removes those defects to bring back the rich color and clarity of your paintwork—often making it look better than when it left the showroom.

Wondering how those swirls end up there? The biggest culprit is usually poor washing and drying methods. Drying your car with an old bath towel or using a dirty wash mitt can grind small dirt particles into the surface, creating fine scratches.

Your Paint Correction Specialists in Mississauga

At Bustami’s Customs, we don’t just jump in with a machine and start buffing away. Proper paint correction requires proper methods and tools. If you go too aggressive too fast, you risk damaging the clear coat—and that can lead to long-term issues.

We carefully assess each vehicle to make sure we’re enhancing the finish while keeping the paint healthy. Not every scratch should be chased if it risks thinning out the clear coat. We aim for results that wow without compromising the integrity of your paint.

Every car is different, so we tailor the process to your specific vehicle. From the type of clear coat to the severity of the imperfections, no two corrections are the same—and that’s why custom service matters.

Step 1: Full Surface Prep
We start with a complete wash and decontamination. This includes cleaning the wheels and tires, using iron remover to eliminate embedded contaminants, and performing a clay bar treatment to leave the paint silky smooth. A clean surface is essential before polishing begins.

Step 2: Polish for Perfection
Once the surface is prepped, we get to work with polishers, pads, and compounds. Depending on the paint’s condition, this might be a quick one-step polish or a multi-stage correction that takes hours—or even days—to complete. It all depends on your goals and your vehicle’s current shape.

Step 3: Add Protection
After the imperfections are removed, we lock in the results with a high-quality sealant or ceramic coating. A sealant will provide months of protection, while a ceramic coating can hold strong for years—keeping that glossy finish looking sharp long after we’re done.

The Paint Correction Process

Paint Correction Options

Whether you’re prepping your vehicle for resale or giving it some overdue attention, we’ve got correction packages that fit.

One-Step Polish

Even two vehicles of the same year and model can have totally different correction needs. That’s why we assess each car on a case-by-case basis before getting started.

Paint Correction FAQs

  • Anywhere from a few hours to two full days—it all depends on the condition of your paint and the level of correction you’re after. We have different options based on what you’d like to achieve. 

  • If not done properly, using the wrong pads, methods, or even overly aggressive polishers, it can. We’re trained professionals in paint correction so we know how to produce amazing results. We use paint thickness gauges and test spots to pick the safest method. Our goal is to improve the finish without compromising the clear coat.

  • Some scratches go deeper than the clear coat, and those can’t be fully removed with polishing alone. However, we can usually reduce how noticeable they are significantly.

  • We come prepared with an entire lineup of professional-grade polishers, pads, compounds, polishes, towels, and lighting equipment. From large panels to tight corners, we’ve got 1-inch, 3-inch, and 5-inch polishers ready to go. Before touching the paint with a machine, we always measure the clear coat using a paint thickness gauge. That tells us exactly how much room we’ve got to work with and helps us avoid going too hard on thin or delicate areas

  • Wax or sealants are a temporary shine boost. It sits on top of the paint and can lightly mask minor swirls, but it doesn’t actually fix anything. It’s fast, easy, and a good choice if you're just looking for a quick refresh.

    Paint correction, on the other hand, gets to the root of the issue. It removes the swirl marks, light scratches, and surface dullness that are making your paint look tired. The result? A stunning, high-gloss finish that reflects light like a mirror.
