Paint Correction is a process that restores the clarity and depth to your car's paint. It eliminates the swirls, scratches and other defects, leaving a defect-free finish. The process uses the proper buffers, polishes, pads and compounds to remove swirls and imperfections from your car's finish. A paint correction can increase the resale value of your car and prevent excessive maintenance costs. It is also an effective way to get maximum value for your trade-in or sale.
Paint Correction also removes minor imperfections that can appear after a car has been washed. Several factors can cause these imperfections, including improper washing and drying processes. A car that is exposed to harsh conditions and excessive heat can also develop phantom water spots. If the paint is left untreated, these spots may reappear after a paint correction. Some other causes of phantom water spots include mineral deposits and improperly applied ceramic coatings. Also, road tar, a buildup of road contamination launched from tires, can cause damage to the car's paint.
Paint correction services can be done on a car's paint in two steps: the polishing process and the correction. This method is generally recommended for vehicles with light to medium-sized defects, and can remove up to 80%-95% of imperfections. In some cases, it can remove 100% of defects. Unlike traditional polishing methods, this procedure is safer and more efficient.
Paint correction is a highly skilled process that involves removing small amounts of the clear coat. This process requires a high level of skill and time, so it isn't a cheap solution. For this, you need to have a good lighting and good equipment. For a professional paint correction, you will need a good gauge to determine the depth of your paint.
Before you can perform paint correction, you should make sure that the area is clean and free of contaminants. Ensure that the surface is completely free of dirt, grime, or any other surface contaminants that may be preventing the correct application of the paint. You should also consider removing any baked-on brake dust and other imperfections.
The polishing phase is similar to compounding, except that the polishing liquid is milder. This phase is aimed at refining the paint and bringing out high gloss levels. When the paint is soft, this stage can leave a haze or "tick marks." During the polishing phase, you can remove these marks and restore full clarity of the paint. Typically, this process is performed with soft foam pads.
Before you can apply paint correction, you must first wash the vehicle. Your car's paint contains pores, which collect dirt and other debris from daily driving. A clay bar can remove these particles. Once the pores are cleaned, the polishing and compounding process can begin. If you don't do this step, your car's paint will look worse than before. If you're worried about fading or imperfections, you can still get your car detailed by a professional.
