WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Paint Correction is removing surface defects, swirl marks, water etching and minor scratches by using refinishing tools and nanotechnology abrasives. To do paint correction right, it takes time and is a labor intensive process but the results are definitely worth it!

THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF PAINT CORRECTION

Undergoing a paint correction treatment, your car will regain its showroom-like shine, restoring its exterior to a fresh and new appearance. Paint correction breathes new life into your vehicle, revitalizing its exterior and eliminating imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation caused by daily exposure to contaminants on the road. Not only does paint correction address existing flaws, but it also provides long-term protection for your paintwork when sealed up with our professional grade ceramic coating, guarding against future damage and preserving the beauty of your car for years to come.

OUR PAINT CORRECTION PROCESS

Our paint correction process is segmented into several phases, which vary depending on the severity of the damage.

Stage 1

This is the preparation phase before we start any machine polishing. We do a full two-stage wash which consists of an iron removal bath & clay bar treatment to ensure we have a clean working surface.

Stage 2

We begin our machine polishing phase which may consist of a heavy compound stage first or just our polishing phase. The level of correction is based on the condition of the paint as well as the initial consultation. The machine polishing phase will remove scratches, swirls & oxidation, revealing a fresh finish!

Stage 3

After the careful paint correction process, we prep the surface to remove any polishing oils and seal up the paint with a 9 month sealant. This will add protection and a long-lasting shine!
