Having a proper paint correction will enhance the quality of a vehicle’s paint. It also protects your car from the outside element factors. We’ll let you know what paint correction does precisely and how it works!
What is Paint Correction?
Paint Correction refers to the procedure of eliminating defects from your vehicle’s paint, such as swirl marks, scratches, and etched bugs/bird droppings, in investigating the true gloss and clarity of your paint. We accomplish this by combining polishers, pads, compounds, and towels. These flaws are so minor that we can’t see them with the naked eye.
What does a Paint Correction do?
Minor defects in your car’s paint can have an impact on its resale value as well as its appearance. These blemishes can be corrected with paint correction, which will help keep your car looking great and in good condition. Here are the advantages that paint correction can offer your vehicle.
Enhance vehicle’s paint
A professional paint correction treatment will remove unsightly imperfections and restore the luster of your vehicle. A paint correction will not only eliminate scratches and corrosion but will also convert your car’s clear coat, giving it that perfect shine.
Give longevity to your vehicle’s paint job.
The correction process and sealant will extend your factory paint’s life and help fight the outside elements. When suitable maintenance practices follow up a professional car paint correction, your paint job will last even longer.
What does the Paint Correction procedure entail?
Paint correction consists of several stages, based primarily on the damage to the clear coating. Here are three main steps in the Paint Correction process!
Stage 1 Paint Correction
It is appropriate for cars with heavy swirl marks, scratches, and other paint defects, and it includes the use of three different polish and pad combinations and spot wet sanding for more significant scratches.
Stage 2 Paint Correction
It is appropriate for cars with moderate swirl marks and light scratches, and it entails the use of two different harsh polish and pad combinations. The first step is an abrasive (trimming) polish or compounds to remove imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, and other paint defects. A finishing polish and finishing pad follow this to refine the paintwork.
Stage 3 Paint Correction
Polishing the paintwork in a single stage or step using only one type of polish and pad combination is best suited for a vehicle with paintwork already in good condition with no visible swirls and only minor marring. It consists of refining the paintwork with a fine finishing polish and polishing pads and is generally not abrasive enough to eliminate swirl marks and scratches.
How much does Paint Correction cost?
To accurately estimate your paint correction costs, we assess the correction stage you will require, the overall size of your vehicle, and the type and quality of your car’s paint—the more steps of the correction process involved, the more expensive the treatment.
Why is it that paint correction takes so long?
It is one of the most comprehensive services we provide. We only work in small sections to ensure a proper outcome. Moving faster or working on larger areas is counterproductive because it slows down the results. It may take even longer if your clear coat is extremely hard or soft.
Depending on the size and status of your vehicle, we’d like you to leave it for at least two days in our shop.
Do we need Paint Correction before applying Ceramic Coating?
It all depends on the state of the car’s paint. When you apply a ceramic coating, the coating’s job is to bond directly to the surface, harden, and provide a protective layer, regardless of the formulation or application method.
As a result, a gloss finish appears more glossy, whereas a matte finish provides more depth. Any tiny or difficult-to-see scratches will be amplified or enhanced to the point where they fill scratches and improve the paint’s condition.
Does Paint Correction remove fine scratches?
Even with our paint correction services, which remove 90% of the imperfections, we rarely remove 100% of the defects. Sometimes the scratch is too deep. Even if we attack it with wet sanding, it may not be eliminated.
A swirl-free finish of 80 to 90 percent will make the vehicle look stunning for most cars. To try to find the last 10%, it will take a lot more time for not much better results.
Is the clay bar treatment included in the paint correction service?
Yes, every effort will be made to prepare the vehicle for paint correction properly. The treatment includes an iron decontamination step and a clay bar treatment step.
