Paint correction is the process of correcting or removing imperfections in a vehicle’s paint surface. These could range from minor scratches to water spots, buffer holograms, paint overspray, bird dropping surface stains and wipe-down marks, oxidation, and other damage visible on your car’s clear coat.
One of the main benefits of auto paint correction is eliminating imperfections from the surface of your vehicle to improve its appearance. The process helps clean your vehicle’s surface from any damage, which helps increase its lifespan. For instance, if your car’s original paint is faded, you can restore it using a correction service.
The process can take six to 12 hours, depending on your vehicle’s size, type and condition. Every car requires a different approach and a combination of special polishing machines at different levels.
During the paint correction service, the vehicle undergoes three stages: the cutting stage, polishing stage and ultra-fine polishing. The cutting stage helps remove defects and swirls in the paint. Polishing is done to create a glossy finish and remove minor marks or scratches. Fine polishing isn’t very common, and it’s done to improve the overall appearance of the painted surface.
