Do I Need Paint Correction?

Wondering if paint correction is right for you? Paint correction is perfect if your vehicle has visible defects like light scratches, swirl marks, or fading caused by UV exposure and environmental contaminants. It’s a go-to solution for car owners who are passionate about maintaining their vehicle’s look and want it to be as smooth and glossy as possible. If your vehicle’s paint has lost its luster or feels rough to the touch, paint correction can bring it back to a mirror-like finish, allowing you to enjoy a stunning, like-new appearance once again. Whether prepping for a ceramic coating or just wanting a fresh look, paint correction is an excellent way to revive your car’s aesthetic appeal.

Our Paint Correction Process Explained

  • Step 1: Initial Assessment

    Every paint correction begins with a thorough assessment of your vehicle’s paint. Our experts inspect for imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other visible defects. This helps us determine the best correction package for your car’s needs.

  • Step 2: Washing and Decontamination

    To prepare for correction, we carefully wash and decontaminate your vehicle, removing dirt, grime, and embedded contaminants. This essential step ensures a clean surface, allowing the correction process to work more effectively.

  • Step 3: Selecting Your Paint Correction Package

    We offer two paint correction packages based on your vehicle’s needs and desired results:


    1-Step Polishing Package: Ideal for moderate imperfections, this package removes approximately 50% of visible defects, restoring a noticeable shine.


    2-Step Compound and Polish Package: For a more transformative result, our 2-step process removes about 75% of imperfections. It combines compounding and polishing, achieving a deep, smooth, and glossy finish.


    Step 4: Precision Paint Correction

    Using advanced tools and techniques, we carry out the selected correction process. Our team polishes or compounds and polishes the paint, carefully working to eliminate surface defects and enhance gloss.


    Step 5: Post-Correction Inspection

    Once the paint correction is complete, we inspect the vehicle under specialized lighting to ensure an even, high-quality finish. Any remaining imperfections are addressed for a flawless final look.


    Optional Step: Applying Ceramic Coating


    To preserve the freshly corrected surface, we recommend following up with a ceramic coating. This adds a durable layer that shields your car from UV rays and environmental contaminants, helping to maintain the smooth, glossy finish for years to come.

Why Should Paint Correction Always Come Before Ceramic Coating?

Applying ceramic coating immediately after paint correction is essential because it seals in the polished surface, preserving the shine and gloss achieved through the correction process. If imperfections like scratches or swirls are left uncorrected before applying a ceramic coating, those defects will be sealed under the coating, making them more difficult to address later. With paint correction, you’re preparing your car’s paint for optimal results, allowing the ceramic coating to bond more effectively and deliver a longer-lasting finish.

Paint Correction FAQ
