Car PAint Correction
Paint correction is a meticulous, multi-step process of machine polishing designed to permanently remove imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat. It’s the true solution for eliminating the fine swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation that dull your paint’s finish over time. By carefully leveling the outermost layer of paint, we restore incredible depth, clarity, and gloss, revealing the flawless finish that lies beneath. This isn't a temporary fix or a filler wax; it's a genuine restoration of your vehicle's paintwork.
With our expert technicians, you will get a true luxury experience at your home, office, or private garage. We coordinate access and HOA requirements, and we work around tight urban parking without compromising quality.

Our Car Paint Correction Process
Our paint correction service is designed to be thorough, transparent, and completely convenient for you. We follow a methodical process to ensure every vehicle receives the highest level of care and achieves remarkable results. From the moment you contact us, our goal is to provide a professional and straightforward experience.
01
Vehicle Inspection
We begin with a thorough, panel-by-panel inspection to identify swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, clear coat thickness, and any areas that need special attention. This lets us recommend the correct level of correction and estimate time and cost.
02
Correction Plan
After inspection, we explain the findings and propose a customized plan (Stage 1 / Stage 2 / Stage 3), including expected improvement, price range, and any optional protective add-ons such as ceramic coating. We review before/after expectations so you know exactly what results to expect.
04
Decontamination
We remove surface contamination (dirt, industrial fallout, tar, oxidation residue) with a deep wash, iron decon, and clay decontamination. This step creates a clean surface so polishing compounds can work effectively and evenly.
05
Paint Correction
Stage 1:
Light cutting or all-in-one polish to reduce swirl marks, light marring, and mild oxidation.
Stage 2:
A cutting pass followed by a refining pass to remove deeper swirl marks, moderate scratches, and heavier oxidation.
Stage 3:
Heavy corrective cutting, followed by progressively finer polishing steps and a finishing polish for maximum clarity. Achieves up to 95% correction of imperfections and defects, resulting in a mirror-like finish with exceptional depth.

Why Choose Berger Mobile Detailing for your paint correction needs?
Preserve Your Vehicle's Factory Finish
Daily driving causes microscopic damage. Our process carefully removes this damage, not the healthy clear coat underneath. This preserves the integrity of your factory paint and extends its life.
Mobile Convenience
Our mobile detailing team performs our detailing and car wash services directly at the convenience of your location across NOVA & The DMV Area (Northern Virginia, D.C., Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince Willia, Stafford, and more!) saving you time and effort.
Reveal True Paint Color and Vibrancy
Swirl marks act like a fog, muting your car’s true color. By creating a perfectly smooth surface, we eliminate this visual noise. This allows light to reflect uniformly, revealing the deep, rich tones hidden away.
Make Washing and Drying Easier
A corrected paint surface is incredibly slick. Dirt and water have less to grip onto, making routine washes faster and more effective. Your car will stay cleaner longer and be easier to dry.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Harrison, from Berger Mobile Detailing just finished my Diamond Exterior Detailing. He is such a professional & gentleman.
His prices were better than most for his top-quality work. Just look at my chrome wheel covers; they look like new & so does the whole car! I give him 5 STARS & will definitely use him in the future. I didn't take a "before" pic, but it's never been detailed before today.
It hasn't been washed since 2022, was parked outside under a tree with lots of leaf debris baked into the finish & chrome wheels black with tarnish. Trust me, he's amazing! Thank you, Harrison, for making my car GLEAM!
I just moved to DC recently. I have never had my car detailed before and was referred to Berger Mobile Detailing by my coworker. Scheduling was easy, Great Customer Service and Excellent Results. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided and grateful to be driving in a clean car again!
I’ve had a professional and quality experience with Berger Mobile Detailing. They came to my job and saved me a lot of time and effort. I didn’t worry about going to a car wash and having to clean my car myself. Apart from that the detailers were very nice and professional. The best part about Berger Mobile Detailing is there 100% satisfaction guaranteed. They are willing to come back and redo the job if I didn’t like the quality, but fortunately I didn’t have to because they were great!
I can’t say enough good things about Berger Mobile Detailing! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Mr. Berger came right on time.
What impressed me most was not just how spotless and shiny the cars turned out, but also the professionalism, friendliness, and pride he clearly takes in his work. He went above and beyond, paying attention to every little detail that most people would overlook. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated and passionate about what they do.
I needed a mobile detailer because of my work schedule. I hired Berger Mobile Detailing because of the reviews here on Google. Harrison was wonderful to work with. My car is a custom color Audi and I wanted quality work.
They did a very thorough detailing inside and out, using my garage as needed. The car looks amazing, the interior looks brand new and they didn't use anything that smelled perfumy or chemically which I really appreciated. The paint is slick and shiny and there's no wax in the cracks. Their work is excellent. I'm extremely happy and will use them again.
Never gotten my car detailed before, saw the reviews on Berger and gave them a try. I was so impressed by the quality of the work, my car looked like it just came off the lot inside and out. Also loved the level of professionalism and communication from Harrison. Very friendly and motivated business man. I am definitely sold on getting my car detailed more often and not letting anyone else touch my car but Harrison.
