What is paint correction?

Did you know that almost all vehicles require some level of paint correction? Surprisingly, even brand-new cars often have paint defects straight from the dealership.

Our paint correction process addresses these imperfections by eliminating scratches, swirls, and other flaws. Paint correction is the process of removing surface imperfections from a vehicle's paint, such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other defects. This process involves machine polishing combined with compounds and polishes. The abrasives in the compounds gradually wear down a thin layer of the clear coat, leveling out the surface and removing defects like scratches and swirls.

Depending on the vehicle's condition, paint correction can take anywhere from 1 to 3 steps and can take a few hours up to a full day. While the process can be intensive, it is essential for restoring the paint's original luster and achieving that glossy finish.

Frequently asked questions

  • Paint correction is necessary to prevent imperfections that can make your car look dull and leave it vulnerable to further damage, such as deeper scratches, clear coat failure, and even rust, if left untreated.

  • The longevity of paint correction results depends on how well the vehicle is cared for afterward. Proper washing techniques, avoiding automated car washes, and regular maintenance can help maintain the corrected finish for a long time. Adding protection can help prevent scratches and maintain the finish.

  • Ceramic coating is ideal after paint correction because it provides a durable protective layer that helps maintain the finish achieved during correction. It forms a hard, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, reducing the risk of new scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Ceramic coatings also makes the vehicle easier to clean, as dirt and grime do not stick as easily to the surface. By adding a ceramic coating after paint correction, you can preserve the corrected paint for a longer period. Learn more about ceramic coatings.

  • One-Step Paint Correction involves a single polishing step to remove minor imperfections and improve gloss, making the paint look clearer. It's ideal for vehicles that need a moderate enhancement without extensive correction.

    Multi-Step Paint Correction involves a two or more step process. The first using a compound to remove deeper scratches and defects, and another using polish to refine the finish, achieving a higher level of gloss and clarity. It’s best for vehicles with more significant imperfections or those seeking a near-perfect finish. In some cases, a third-step may be needed for vehicles with severe defects.
