Prime Shine provides professional paint correction in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. We use machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation — restoring your paint to showroom-quality gloss. We come to your driveway. Starting at $200 for single-stage (sedan). Typically 3–8 hours depending on correction level.
Machine polishing corrects defects in the clear coat layer — restoring optical clarity and depth.
Fine circular scratches caused by improper washing, automatic car washes, and dirty microfiber cloths. Most visible in direct sunlight.
Surface-level scratches in the clear coat from keys, bushes, or light contact. If your fingernail doesn't catch it, we can likely remove it.
Mineral deposits left by hard water, sprinklers, or rain. Etched water spots require cutting compound to remove from the clear coat.
UV damage causes paint to look dull, chalky, or faded. Machine polishing removes the oxidized layer and restores color depth.
Bird droppings are acidic and etch into clear coat if left too long. Polishing removes the etch marks and restores the surface.
Improper machine polishing leaves haze or hologram patterns. We remove these and restore a clean, clear finish.
Professional correction — not a quick buff and wax.
LED lighting inspection to identify defect types, severity, and paint thickness before selecting the approach.
Full decontamination including iron remover and clay bar — surface must be clean before polishing.
Paint thickness gauge readings at multiple points to ensure safe correction without cutting through clear coat.
Cutting compound with cutting pad removes deeper defects, scratches, and oxidation (two-stage only).
Finishing polish removes cut-stage haze and maximizes gloss, clarity, and paint depth.
Panel wipe removes polish oils to reveal the true result. Final LED inspection confirms defect removal.
Flat rates. No hidden fees. We come to your location in Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads.
SUVs and trucks add $50–$100. Final price confirmed after paint inspection.

"My black BMW had terrible swirl marks from years of automatic car washes. Prime Shine came to my driveway in Virginia Beach and did a two-stage correction — the paint looks better than when I bought the car. Absolutely incredible transformation. Worth every penny."
"Had paint correction done before ceramic coating. The attention to detail was incredible — they tested paint thickness before starting and showed me the before/after under LED lighting. The depth and gloss on my white Tahoe is unreal. Highly recommend Prime Shine."
