What is Paint Correction?

Get Educated!

Define It!

Paint correction is the process of leveling (removing) imperfections in the surface of the paint. This can include a variety of issues and causes like water spots, paint over spray, wash scratches, wipe down marks, bird dropping surface stains, oxidation and buffer holograms. This process can involve a significant amount of time. We have spent over 20 hours on one vehicle, but, 4-8 hours is typical of most vehicles. It involves using specialty polishing machines in different sizes, many different levels of diminishing abrasives, different compounding/polishing pads and sometimes sand paper. Our process is different on every paint job. They can vary in hardness, thickness, and depth of imperfections. Every vehicle requires a different process or combination of machines based on the curves of the panels.

You Deserve Better.

Paint Correction, as a stand alone term and service, has gained unbelievable recognition and respect in the last few years. This is due to a few contributing factors like, major technological advances in diminishing abrasives, specialized machines coming to market with extensive R&D, youtube videos showing how to learn the process and every detailer on the planet advertising that they are an “expert”. While I am personally very happy to see more clients and potential clients becoming more educated and knowledgeable about paint correction, I am also upset to see how many people are still being charged for paint correction and not receiving it. I have watched people start brand new businesses with very little training or experience make “paint correction expert” claims online. The unfortunate thing about the term PAINT CORRECTION, is that it typically is accompanied by a larger price tag than conventional detailing. This brings out many opportunists and shady companies that use something clients have little knowledge of to get a larger price tag for basic detailing or light polishing. Our shop fixes many cars per year that have paid for paint correction, only to find out after a few car washes, that they paid for silicone fillers instead of actual removal of the imperfections in their paint.
