What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a process used to remove imperfections in a vehicle’s paintwork, such as swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation, to restore its clarity and shine. It involves using specialized tools and compounds to smooth out the paint’s surface, revealing a glossy, like-new finish.
how paint correction works?
we specialize in paint correction to restore your car’s factory finish.
The first step is to carefully inspect the vehicle’s paint under proper lighting to identify imperfections. These can range from swirls and fine scratches to deeper scratches or haze caused by oxidation
Paint correction is typically done using a dual-action or rotary polishing machine. The machine spins a pad with an abrasive compound (polish) that gently removes a thin layer of the clear coat (the top layer of the paint). This process smooths out the surface by leveling it and removing imperfections.
Depending on the severity of the imperfections, paint correction can be done in one or more stages:
Stage 1: This is usually a heavy compound or cutting polish used to remove deeper imperfections.
Stage 2: A finer polish is used to refine the finish, removing light swirls and haziness, leaving behind a smooth, glossy surface.
After the correction process, the paint will be smoother and more reflective, giving the vehicle a much deeper gloss and a pristine finish. The goal is to restore the paint’s original clarity and shine while eliminating imperfections.
Once the correction is completed, it’s often recommended to apply a protective layer, such as a wax or ceramic coating, to safeguard the freshly corrected paint from future damage.
