PAINT CORRRECTION
WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?
Paint correction is a commonly used process to eliminate imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and other blemishes from a vehicle's clear coat and paint job. These imperfections can often be seen as spider web-like marks under sunlight or street lamps. We utilize specialized techniques, tools, and chemicals to smooth out the painted surfaces, enhancing the gloss effect and restoring your vehicle's paint to a like-new condition.
We typically recommend having paint correction done before applying paint protection film or ceramic coating. This ensures that the protection is applied to the clear coat at its best, providing long-lasting results and preserving the pristine look of your vehicle's paintwork.
THE THREE STAGES OF PAINT CORRECTION
Vehicles may have varying degrees of damage to their paint, ranging from light scratches to more severe issues. The extent of the damage determines the specific process we use to correct the paint on your car. Here, we outline three different stages to provide you with a general idea of how each differs.
STAGE 1
For cars with minor marring and swirl marks, these imperfections can often be lightly removed using a single-step polish combined with a porous foam pad. This process effectively removes imperfections while adding depth and gloss to the paint. Stage 1 paint correction can typically address up to 50% of paint imperfections, leaving your car with a significantly improved appearance.
STAGE 2
For vehicles with moderate or medium swirl marks and scratches embedded in the clear coat, we offer Stage 2 paint correction. Our paint protection technicians use two different polish and pad combinations to address these issues. Typically, we begin by using a more abrasive compound with a microfiber cutting pad to tackle the imperfections. Then, we follow up with a finishing polish and a porous foam pad to ensure any remaining marring is removed from the paint. Stage 2 paint correction can correct 85% or more of the defects in the paint, leaving your vehicle looking greatly improved.
STAGE 3
For vehicles requiring more extensive paint correction, we highly recommend entrusting the job to a professional . When a car's paint job is dull or has heavy swirl marks or other defects, a three-step correction process is necessary. Stage 3 correction is a comprehensive multi-step procedure where our technicians address all correctable defects, resulting in a finish that is 95% or more defect-free. This thorough process involves using various pads, compounds, polishes to achieve the desired results. Typically, this process takes between 12 and 15 hours to complete and sometimes may require a drop off sercvice in Dalton,GA
