What is Paint Correction?
Machine polishing removes clear coat imperfections by leveling the paint surface - not masking defects like wax does. Amherst's unique environment demands this approach: UB campus lots expose vehicles to tree sap and bird droppings, while Transit Road and Niagara Falls Boulevard create constant salt and debris exposure from commercial traffic.
Using professional Rupes buffing equipment and specialized compounds, we carefully remove microscopic layers of clear coat to level the surface and eliminate defects. Amherst vehicles face unique challenges - UB campus tree sap and bird droppings, Niagara Falls Boulevard commercial traffic salt, Transit Road construction debris, and suburban pollen from tree-lined neighborhoods. We're equipped to handle all Amherst paint issues. For complete vehicle care, explore our car detailing services or pair correction with ceramic coating for maximum protection against future damage.
Removes Suburban Damage Permanently
Unlike wax that fills in tree sap etching temporarily, paint correction actually removes UB campus and suburban organic damage by leveling the clear coat. Results last until new damage occurs.
Local Expertise for Amherst Conditions
We understand what UB campus parkers, Niagara Falls Blvd commuters, and Transit Road professionals face daily. WNY's largest suburb gets specialized attention from detailing experts who know your challenges.
Essential Before Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating locks in your paint's condition. Correction first removes Niagara Falls Blvd salt and suburban tree debris, ensuring you're sealing in perfection for long-term Amherst protection.
Amherst Paint Challenges
WNY's largest suburb creates diverse vehicle threats
Niagara Falls Blvd Corridor
Niagara Falls Boulevard is one of Amherst's busiest commercial strips running through the heart of the town. Heavy traffic, frequent road salt treatment, and commercial vehicle debris create constant paint exposure. Daily Blvd commuters accumulate swirls and salt etching requiring correction.
UB Campus Parking Lots
University at Buffalo North and South campuses host thousands of student and faculty vehicles daily. Campus trees create sap and bird dropping damage. Tight parking lots lead to door dings and shopping cart scratches. UB parkers need regular paint correction to combat campus wear.
Transit Road Business Strip
Transit Road commercial corridor sees heavy truck traffic, construction vehicles servicing Boulevard Mall area, and constant development. Vehicles parked at Transit businesses or driving this route daily face paint chips from truck debris and swirls from automated car washes common to commercial strips.
Suburban Tree Fallout
Amherst's affluent neighborhoods along Sweet Home Road, Maple Road, and Millersport Highway feature mature tree canopies. Spring pollen creates yellow staining. Summer tree sap etches paint. Fall leaves create organic acid damage. Suburban street parking requires seasonal paint correction to combat nature's toll.

Paint Correction FAQs
Everything you need to know about paint correction in Amherst, NY
How much does paint correction cost in Amherst?
Paint correction pricing in Amherst starts at $250 for 1-Step Polish (light swirls), $400 for 2-Step Correction & Polish (moderate defects), and $600 for 3-Step Polish (severe scratches). Wet sanding for deep scratches is quoted individually. Pricing varies by vehicle size. We service UB North Campus, UB South Campus, Niagara Falls Boulevard, Transit Road, and all Amherst neighborhoods year-round.
Why do Amherst vehicles need paint correction?
Amherst sits at the intersection of major commercial corridors - Niagara Falls Boulevard and Transit Road see heavy traffic creating road debris and salt exposure. UB campus parking lots expose vehicles to tree sap, bird droppings, and student parking lot dings. Suburban tree-lined streets in neighborhoods off Sweet Home Road and Maple Road create pollen and organic fallout. Paint correction removes these accumulated defects.
Do you service UB students and faculty?
Absolutely! We service University at Buffalo North Campus (Ellicott Complex, Alumni Arena area) and South Campus (Main Street) regularly. UB parking lots create paint damage from tight parking, tree sap from campus trees, and road salt from winter campus maintenance. Students and faculty can schedule mobile service to campus areas or drop off at our shop during breaks.
Can you correct paint damage from Transit Road commercial traffic?
Yes - Transit Road is one of Amherst's busiest commercial strips with heavy truck traffic, construction vehicles, and constant road work. Vehicles parked at Transit Road businesses or driving this corridor daily accumulate paint chips, swirls from automated car washes, and salt damage. Our 2-Step and 3-Step correction tiers handle moderate to severe Transit Road damage.
How long does paint correction take?
1-Step Polish takes 4-6 hours, 2-Step Correction takes 6-10 hours, and 3-Step Polish takes 12-16 hours. We schedule mobile appointments around UB class schedules and Transit Road business hours for your convenience. Proper defect removal cannot be rushed - each step requires precision buffing to safely level your clear coat. Same-day completion is often possible for 1-Step service.
Will paint correction remove Boulevard Mall parking lot scratches?
Paint correction can remove 60-95% of defects depending on severity. Boulevard Mall and surrounding shopping centers create tight parking situations with shopping cart dings and door edge scratches. Light to moderate scratches from parking lot contact can be polished out with 2-Step or 3-Step correction. Deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat require touch-up paint or wet sanding (quoted separately).
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction in Amherst?
We strongly recommend ceramic coating for Amherst vehicles due to high commercial traffic and suburban tree exposure. Paint correction removes existing Niagara Falls Blvd salt damage and tree sap, but ceramic coating prevents future contaminants from bonding to your paint. The combination is especially valuable for UB campus parkers and Transit Road commuters. Looking for longer-lasting paint protection? Ask about our ceramic coating services in Amherst.
Do you offer mobile service or shop service in Amherst?
We offer both! Mobile service brings our professional Rupes buffing equipment directly to your Amherst home, UB campus location, or Transit Road workplace during spring through fall seasons. Shop service at our year-round location provides climate-controlled conditions and professional lighting. Both deliver the same quality results - choose based on your convenience preference.
Can you remove tree sap and pollen from suburban Amherst neighborhoods?
Absolutely! Amherst's tree-lined suburban streets (Sweet Home Road area, Maple Road neighborhoods, Millersport Highway corridor) create heavy pollen in spring and tree sap year-round. These organic contaminants etch paint if left untreated. Our paint correction process removes sap etching, pollen staining, and bird dropping damage common to suburban parking beneath trees.
What's included in your paint correction packages?
All packages include paint decontamination (removes Transit Road tar and grime), clay bar treatment (lifts embedded UB campus tree sap), machine polishing with Rupes equipment, and final wipe-down. 1-Step: one polish pass for light defects. 2-Step: compound + polish for moderate Niagara Falls Blvd salt damage. 3-Step: heavy cut + cut + polish for severe suburban tree etching or Boulevard Mall parking wear. Wet sanding is quoted separately for deep scratches.
