Paint Correction
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a defect removal process we perform on every vehicle before applying a ceramic coating. Because ceramic coatings are a form of permanent paint protection, we need to ensure that the surface is as scratch free as possible so that the nano ceramic coating can bond properly to the car paint. We know how cars here in the Midwest have to endure crazy weather, and the fact is… paint defects are inevitable. we want to create a flawless finish before installing any form of permanent paint protection to keep your ride in TOP condition!
Your vehicle endures a heavy beating driving on the road and from the elements. Just by siting outside in the sun it will develop a layer of oxidation on the paint that will cause it to loose that gloss and look dull. Luckily there is a solution and we can bring your cars paint back to life.
Did you know things like bugs and rain can actually damage your clear coat overtime? If left untreated there are many things that can and will eventually cause your paint to loose its shine, cause etchings deep in the paint, fade and damage the paint.
Paint Enhancement
Think of paint enhancement as a one step paint correction. Rather than taking a more aggressive method by starting with a more abrasive pad in combination with a compound solution to remove the bulk of the defects and then following with a final polish to bring out that gloss and shine. Paint enhancement is more of a one step polish to “enhance” the look of the paint while removing the least amount of clear coat possible. Polishing the paint removes minor defects light scratches and swirl marks, and brings back gloss and shine to the paint.
It’s important to remember that while yes the best looking results is always what we strive for, when it comes to paint correction there is always a point of no return. Our job as detailers is to give you the best possible looking paint while not compromising the integrity of your cars paint. anything that has penetrated deeper than the top layer of the clear coat on your cars paint is no longer fixable with any amount of compounding or polishing.
