Paint Correction

Paint Correction is labor-intensive process – going beyond advanced skills that command an uncompromising labor of love – which requires a specific level of precaution, manual and high tech skills, dedication, and experience to deliver unbelievable results, uniquely tailored for each car that undergo this work.

Paint Correction is a process in the removal of swirls and defects on the paint surfaces. When the surface is magnified or observed with the naked eye (depending on the degree of the defects), swirl marks and holograms, haze, scratches, and other defects are present which distracts the potential brilliance in color and gloss of the paint. Paint Correction in auto detailing involves multi-stage, advanced buff and polish techniques using nanotechnology abrasives in combination of proper pad density. This method is utilized to correct buffing trails left by improper, aggressive buffing techniques. Brand new cars direct from the factory will even have these defects present too.

For each vehicle before any paint correction work is scheduled, commencement of a discussion with the vehicle’s owner in regards to concerns and expectations will be done. A thorough assessment is performed, which involves the evaluation of paintwork, the measurement of clear coat paint thickness, and the degree of defects present. There are variables such as the condition and age of the car that will determine the intensity of the preparation required in Paint Correction. Results will vary (depending on the condition, the age and the type of car) but can remove 50-95% of defects, potentially yielding close to a like-brand new appearance.  When done safely and properly, Paint Correction will yield a beautiful gloss and reflection and at that level, can help preserve the original factory paint and reveal depth and clarity in the finish of the paint surfaces.

This service requires at minimum three days or longer depending on the model, the condition and the clients’ goals.
