What is Paint Correction?
The professional process behind flawless paintwork.
Paint correction is a multi-step detailing process that permanently improves your vehicle’s finish. Unlike quick waxes or fillers that hide defects temporarily, our paint correction carefully removes imperfections to reveal smooth, clear, and vibrant paint.
Our process includes:
- Assessment: Identifying swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and paint defects.
- Deep Cleaning: Thorough wash to remove dirt and grime.
- Paint Decontamination: Clay bar and chemical treatments to eliminate embedded contaminants like tar, tree sap, and industrial fallout.
- Polishing: Professional machine polishing to smooth out fine scratches and restore depth.
- Compounding: For severe imperfections, heavier compounds cut through deeper defects.
- Wet Sanding (as needed): Used for stubborn etching or scratches, performed only by trained professionals.
- Paint Protection: Once corrected, we apply wax, sealant, or—our strongest option—a ceramic coating for long-lasting protection.
Why Paint Correction Matters
Paint correction not only enhances your car’s appearance but also:
- Extends the life of your vehicle’s paintwork
- Increases resale value and buyer confidence
- Prepares your car for ceramic coating, ensuring maximum bond and longevity
- Gives your vehicle a mirror-like gloss that stands out on the road
