PAINT CORRECTION: OUR STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

We are precise with every step of our paint correction process. From an initial thorough cleaning to the final application of a protective ceramic coating, we ensure that your vehicle leaves our care looking flawless and protected for the long haul. Here’s a breakdown of our step-by-step approach to paint correction.

  • Step One: Thorough Cleaning

    The process begins with a detailed inspection of your vehicle’s paint to identify imperfections. We then thoroughly wash and decontaminate the surface to remove dirt, grime, and any contaminants that could interfere with the correction process.

  • Step Two: Clay Bar Treatment

    To ensure the surface of the vehicle is smooth and prepped, we use a clay bar to remove embedded particles such as industrial fallout and tar. This step is crucial for eliminating contaminants that regular washing cannot address.

  • Step Three: Machine Polishing

    Next, we use specialized polishing equipment to carefully level the paint surface. This step involves multiple stages, starting with coarse compounds to address deeper scratches and progressing to finer ones to refine the finish and restore clarity.

  • Step Four: Final Inspection

    After polishing, we will thoroughly inspect the surface of the vehicle to ensure all imperfections have been corrected and the paint has a uniform, glossy finish.

  • Step Five: Apply Ceramic Coating

    To safeguard the newly corrected paint, we apply a high-quality ceramic coating. This layer provides enhanced gloss and shields the paint from environmental damage, ensuring that the paint correction stays corrected for longer.

DEBUNKING COMMON MYTHS ABOUT PAINT CORRECTION

  • Myth #1: Paint Correction Strips Away a Significant Amount of Your Paint

    Reality: Paint correction, when performed correctly, does not remove a substantial amount of paint. It involves polishing the surface to level imperfections and improve clarity. Only a thin layer of the clear coat is polished away, ensuring the underlying paint remains intact and protected.

  • Myth #2: Paint Correction is the Same as a Wax Job

    Reality: Paint correction is a detailed process that addresses paint imperfections through polishing and leveling, while a wax job only adds a temporary layer of shine and protection. Paint correction improves the paint’s clarity and finish, offering a more thorough fix than waxing alone.

  • Myth #3: Only Older Vehicles Can Benefit from Paint Correction

    Reality: Paint correction can significantly improve the appearance of both new and older vehicles. No vehicle is immune to imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, or oxidation, so even if your car is relatively new, paint correction can help maintain its shine. In fact investing in paint correction early for your vehicle can prevent issues from worsening and ensure it looks great for years to come.

  • Myth #4: Paint Correction is a DIY Job

    Reality: Paint correction requires specialized knowledge, skills, and equipment to achieve the best results. The process involves intricate steps that can be complex and time-consuming.

WHY SHOULD YOU FOLLOW PAINT CORRECTION WITH CERAMIC COATING?

Performing paint correction on your vehicle can bring back its shine and remove any imperfections, but it's not enough to maintain its pristine condition in the long run. This is where ceramic coating comes into play. Ceramic coatings act as an additional layer that coats your vehicle from environmental elements and UV rays, making it an essential step after paint correction.


Ceramic coatings also offer hydrophobic properties, which means water and other contaminants can more easily be removed from the surface of your vehicle instead of sticking to it. This reduces the chances of new damage or imperfections on your vehicle's paint and makes maintaining your vehicle much easier.


Ceramic coating enhances the gloss and overall appearance of your vehicle, elevating its aesthetic appeal. It adds a smooth and sleek finish to the paint, making it stand out. By following up your paint correction with ceramic coating, you are not only protecting your vehicle's exterior from potential environmental damage but also enhancing its visual appeal. This combination will result in a longer-lasting, showroom-worthy finish for your beloved vehicle. So don't skip this crucial step in the detailing process and give your vehicle the ultimate protection it deserves.
