What is it?

Paint correction is the process of removing a thin layer of clear coat which houses paint defects such as hazing, swirling, micro marring, staining or superficial scratches.

What does it come with?

All paint correction projects come with an exterior decontamination detail to start, a sequential process of compounding / polishing with various machines, pads and abrasives and then a hand applied sealant to finish. We highly recommend having your car coated or clear bra’d at this point to deepen the gloss / shine and maintain the perfect condition.

Turnaround Time?

Newer car projects will take approximately 2 days, while severe cases can take 4-5 days to complete.

Special Note:

Please note in more severe cases we like to let the car “breathe” between steps to ensure a proper end result. Which will require us holding onto the car for an extra day or 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Paint Correction eliminate blemishes?
Yes. A coarse material known as a cutting compound is utilized in the polishing procedure. A liquid or paste compound is placed over the whole painted surface of the automobile, and then an electric polisher is used to disseminate the compound while cutting through the clear coat. Before attempting to remove a severe scratch in the clear coat, always consult a trained expert.
Does A Newer Vehicle Need Paint Correction?
For 90% of new vehicles, a stage 1 paint correction should be enough. However, a few cars may require far more extensive correction, owing to dealership damage to the paintwork. After the procedure is complete, the paintwork will be free of swirls and scratches, and a coating is applied to give proper long-term protection for the vehicle. This ensures that the car remains in the best condition for as long as possible.
