What is Paint Correction?
Professional machine polishing removes paint defects permanently - wax only hides them temporarily. Cheektowaga's position at the I-90/I-290 interchange means your vehicle battles relentless highway salt spray, while Walden Galleria shoppers face parking lot wear and jet fuel residue from airport proximity.
Using professional Rupes buffing equipment and specialized compounds, we carefully remove microscopic layers of clear coat to level the surface and eliminate defects. Cheektowaga vehicles face unique challenges - I-90/I-290 interchange highway salt exposure, Walden Avenue commercial debris, Buffalo Niagara International Airport jet fuel residue, and Walden Galleria parking lot damage. We specialize in correcting these highway-specific and commercial paint issues. For complete vehicle care, explore our car detailing services or pair correction with ceramic coating for maximum protection against future highway damage.
Removes Highway Damage Permanently
Unlike wax that fills in salt etching temporarily, paint correction actually removes I-90/I-290 and Walden Avenue damage by leveling the clear coat. Results last until new damage occurs.
Cheektowaga Expertise
We understand what Cheektowaga drivers face - I-90/I-290 commuters, Walden Galleria shoppers, airport proximity, and Walden Avenue commercial traffic. Your neighbors serving neighbors since 2017.
Essential Before Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating locks in your paint's condition. Correction first removes highway salt, jet fuel residue, and airport de-icer damage, ensuring you're sealing in perfection for long-term protection.
Cheektowaga Paint Challenges
Major highway interchange and commercial corridors create unique vehicle threats
I-90 & I-290 Interchange
Cheektowaga sits at one of Western New York's busiest highway crossroads - the I-90/I-290 interchange. Heavy trucking and commuter traffic creates massive highway salt spray, road debris, and rock chips. Daily interchange exposure accumulates extreme corrosive damage that etches clear coat.
Walden Avenue Corridor
Walden Avenue is Cheektowaga's major retail corridor with Walden Galleria and heavy commercial traffic. Shopping center parking damage, automatic car wash swirl marks, and extended mall parking exposure accelerate paint contamination. Cart scratches and high-traffic wear require professional correction.
Airport Proximity
Buffalo Niagara International Airport creates unique paint challenges. Jet fuel residue, runway de-icer chemicals, and constant airport road traffic accelerate paint contamination. Vehicles parked near the airport or commuting on Genesene Street face heavier environmental exposure requiring specialized correction.
Thruway Plaza & Retail
Thruway Plaza and multiple retail corridors create heavy parking lot exposure. Shopping cart scratches, door dings, and extended sun exposure from all-day mall parking accelerate clear coat damage. Combined with Union Road traffic patterns, retail-area vehicles see accelerated paint contamination.

Paint Correction FAQs

Why do Cheektowaga cars need paint correction?
Cheektowaga sits at the critical I-90/I-290 interchange with massive highway salt exposure and heavy commercial traffic on Walden Avenue. Buffalo Niagara International Airport proximity creates jet fuel residue and de-icer chemical exposure. Vehicles commuting via the I-90/I-290 interchange, Walden Galleria shoppers, and Walden Avenue commercial traffic face constant salt spray, road debris, and parking lot damage. Paint correction removes this accumulated highway and commercial environment damage and restores your clear coat.
Do you serve Walden Galleria area businesses?
Absolutely! Walden Galleria is Western New York's premier shopping mall with heavy parking lot traffic. Mall employees, shoppers, and nearby business professionals can bring vehicles to our shop or schedule mobile service during warmer months. Shopping mall parking lots create unique paint challenges - shopping cart scratches, door dings, extended sun exposure, and high-traffic wear. Our paint correction removes these defects and restores your finish.
How long does paint correction take?
Paint correction takes 4-6 hours for 1-Step, 6-10 hours for 2-Step, and 12-16 hours for 3-Step. Walden Galleria employees can drop off before work for afternoon pickup. We cannot rush the process - removing highway interchange damage requires precision. Shop service year-round, mobile service spring through fall.
Does airport proximity affect paint in Cheektowaga?
Yes - Buffalo Niagara International Airport creates unique paint challenges for Cheektowaga vehicles. Jet fuel residue, de-icer chemicals, and constant airport road traffic accelerate paint contamination. Vehicles parked near the airport or commuting on Genesee Street face heavier environmental exposure than typical suburban areas. Our paint correction removes jet fuel residue, de-icer etching, and airport-related contamination.
Can you fix paint damage from I-90 and I-290?
The I-90/I-290 interchange is one of Western New York's busiest highway crossroads with extreme salt exposure and heavy trucking traffic. Highway driving creates rock chips, salt spray, road debris damage, and micro-scratches from constant highway commuting. We regularly correct paint damage from I-90/I-290 commuters. Our 2-Step and 3-Step correction tiers remove oxidation, micro-scratches, and salt etching common to this major interchange.
Should I get ceramic coating after paint correction in Cheektowaga?
We strongly recommend ceramic coating for Cheektowaga vehicles due to extreme I-90/I-290 interchange exposure. Paint correction removes existing damage, but ceramic coating prevents future highway salt, Walden Avenue commercial debris, jet fuel residue, and airport de-icer chemicals from bonding to your paint. The combination is especially valuable for daily highway commuters and Walden Galleria employees. Looking for longer-lasting paint protection? Ask about our ceramic coating services in Cheektowaga.
Do you offer mobile paint correction service?
We offer both shop service (year-round) and mobile service (spring through fall). Mobile service brings our professional Rupes buffing equipment to your Cheektowaga home, workplace, or Walden Galleria location. Shop service offers climate-controlled conditions and professional lighting. Both deliver the same quality results - choose based on your convenience needs.
Can you fix swirl marks from Walden Ave car washes?
Yes - Walden Avenue's commercial corridor has multiple automatic car washes that can create swirl marks and micro-scratches from brushes and contaminated wash mitts. The heavy commercial traffic on Walden Avenue means these car washes serve high volumes, potentially reducing wash quality. Our paint correction removes these automated wash defects through careful machine polishing. After correction, we recommend hand washing or touchless washes to prevent swirls from returning.
What's included in your paint correction packages?
Every package includes decontamination, clay bar treatment to remove airport runway residue and highway tar, professional Rupes machine polishing, and final protection. Process varies by tier: 1-Step for light swirls, 2-Step for Walden Ave commercial grime and I-90/I-290 salt etching, 3-Step for severe oxidation. We tackle jet fuel residue, mall parking lot contamination, and Galleria area paint wear.
