Skip to content Paint Correction- Boost the shine, protection, and longevity
Paint correction carefully restores and revitalizes a car's paint by removing surface imperfections that dull, oxidize, or distort its appearance. These imperfections block light from reflecting properly, preventing a clear and sharp finish. The process targets issues like swirl marks, fine scratches, bird dropping etching, acid rain spots, holograms, buffer trails, and deep scratches. It enhances the car's look, preserves its value, and extends the paint's lifespan.
A professional paint correction process involves multiple steps to ensure the vehicle’s paint is thoroughly restored and free from imperfections.
- Assessment of Paint Condition: A detailed inspection of the vehicle’s paintwork is performed to identify the type, depth, and extent of imperfections like swirl marks, oxidation, scratches, and surface contaminants.
- Paint Thickness Measurement:A paint depth gauge is used to measure the thickness of the clear coat to ensure safe correction without over-thinning.
- Pre-Wash (Foam Cannon Application): A layer of foam is applied to loosen dirt and contaminants on the surface without causing damage.
- Hand Wash: A two-bucket method with grit guards is used to hand wash the vehicle, ensuring minimal risk of adding new scratches.
- Iron Fallout Remover: Applied to remove embedded iron particles from the surface.
- Clay Bar Treatment: A clay bar is used to further remove surface contaminants like tree sap, tar, and industrial fallout.
- Protection of Sensitive Areas: Sensitive areas like rubber trims, plastic moldings, and emblems are masked with tape to prevent accidental damage during machine polishing.
- Test Spot: A small section of the vehicle is polished to determine the best combination of cutting compound, polish, and pads for the correction process.
- Cutting (Heavy Polishing): A cutting compound is used with a machine polisher (rotary or dual-action) to remove the deeper imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation.
- Refining (Medium Polishing): A medium polish is applied to refine the surface, remove hazing, and eliminate minor imperfections.
- Finishing (Fine Polishing): A fine polish brings out the ultimate gloss and clarity in the paint, restoring a flawless paint correction finish.
- Lighting Inspection: High-intensity lights are used after each stage of polishing to inspect the progress and ensure that the defects are being properly removed.
- Panel Wipe: A solvent-based cleaner is used to remove any polish residue, oils, and fillers, ensuring that the paint surface is completely clean and free of contaminants.
- Application of Ceramic Coating or Sealant: After the paint correction, a protective layer such as ceramic coating or paint sealant is applied to shield the newly corrected paintwork from future damage, enhancing gloss and longevity.
- Detailing and Final Touches: The vehicle is inspected in various lighting conditions to ensure that no imperfections remain and the finish is flawless.
- Customer Walkthrough: A final inspection is performed with the customer to ensure complete satisfaction with the results.
