paint correction: What Is It?
Paint Correction involves the meticulous restoration of a vehicle’s paint by effectively eliminating flaws and surface imperfections like scratches, swirls, oxidation, marring, hazing, and etching caused by bird droppings or acid rain.
The aim of our paint correction services is to rejuvenate the paint’s surface, enhancing its gloss and reflective qualities. These imperfections arise from various factors, with many attributed to incorrect washing and drying methods as well as inadequate maintenance of the vehicle’s exterior.
During the buffing process, the goal is to eliminate clear coat defects as much as possible while maintaining the clear coat level. This advanced paint correction technique aims to restore the paint to a nearly new state, with a focus on removing 40-100% of clear coat defects, such as swirl marks (resembling spider-web scratches), paint oxidation and fading, minor scratches, paint transfers, water spots, and marks from bird or bug splatters. This process contributes to achieving a flawless finish and reestablishing glossiness and clarity.

Paint Correction Myths and Facts
Myth 1: Paint correction is just waxing or polishing.
Paint correction involves removing imperfections, not just covering them up. It removes defects like swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches using specialized abrasives and polishing techniques, unlike waxing, which only adds a temporary protective layer.
Myth 2: Paint correction is only for old or neglected cars.
Even new cars can benefit from our paint correction services. Many brand-new cars have swirl marks or fine scratches due to incorrect dealership washing methods. Paint correction ensures a flawless finish before applying protection.
Myth 3: One stage of paint correction is enough for all cars.
The level of correction needed depends on the severity of paint defects. Some cars only need a single-stage polish (light correction), while others require a multi-stage process to remove deep scratches and oxidation.
Myth 4: Paint correction removes the clear coat completely.
It removes only a thin layer of clear coat to eliminate imperfections. Skilled detailers use specialized compounds to level the clear coat safely, preserving as much paint as possible while enhancing gloss.
