What is paint correction and how does it work?
Paint correction is a multi-step process that removes surface defects like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation from your vehicle's clear coat. We use specialized polishing compounds and techniques to safely level the paint surface, restoring clarity and depth without damaging the protective clear coat.
Can all paint defects be removed?
Most swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation can be corrected. However, deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat or damage the base coat may require touch-up paint. We'll assess your vehicle and discuss realistic expectations during the inspection.
Should I get a ceramic coating after paint correction?
Absolutely! Ceramic coating is the ideal follow-up to paint correction. It protects your newly corrected paint from UV damage, contaminants, and future swirls, keeping your vehicle looking showroom-fresh for years.
What should I do after paint correction?
Avoid going to any automatic car wash. We recommend getting your vehicle maintained with us or we can equip you with proper techniques and products to do it yourself!
