Paint Correction FAQ

1. What is a paint correction?

Paint correction is simple in theory but complex in execution. Swirls and scratches are only in the top layer, called the clear coat. By carefully removing this layer, we eliminate defects and restore your paint’s true depth and shine.

2. What defines a high-quality paint correction?

It starts with proper decontamination to ensure a clean surface. Sensitive areas are masked off to prevent accidents. Our experts assess paint hardness, perform a test panel, and select the right polishers, pads, and compounds. A final wash removes residue before protection is applied.

3. How are paint corrections done?

Using specialized machines, compounds, and occasionally sanding, we remove the damaged clear coat safely. This reveals a fresh, virgin layer of paint ready for protection.

4. When do I need a paint correction?

While there’s no fixed schedule, paint correction is ideal before applying Ceramic Coating or PPF, when buying a pre-owned vehicle, or restoring a car you’ve owned for a while. Over-correcting can damage paint, so timing matters.

5. Paint correction vs. polishing vs. buffing

  • Paint Correction: The overarching process to restore the original paint.
  • Polishing: Uses machines and compounds to slowly remove defects in the clear coat.
  • Buffing: Hand finishing for desired shine; used on paint, glass, wheels, and other surfaces.

6. Ceramic coating vs. paint correction

Paint correction restores your existing paint; ceramic coating protects it. Think of paint correction as removing paint, ceramic coating as adding a layer of protection.

7. How are paint corrections priced?

Pricing depends on paint condition. Older or poorly maintained vehicles require more time and attention. We’ve grouped our processes into three levels, each using different polishers, pads, and compounds for optimal results.
