What Does Paint Correction Do?

To achieve the best paint correction results, the team undertaking the work must be highly trained to ensure they level your paintwork to a showroom shine without damaging the clear coat. Paint correction is a process that takes many hours, and it is designed to remove swirl marks and light scratches from your paint!

Paint correction will remove unsightly imperfections and restore your vehicle’s luster because swirl marks can cause your paint to lose its shine. In addition to eliminating these imperfections, a paint correction will level the clear coat of your painted surfaces, resulting in a faultless mirror surface.

Further, paint correction will extend the life of a vehicle’s paint finish, particularly when locked in with a paint protection service. The paint correction process, partnered with a sealant or ceramic coating, will help preserve your factory paint from the elements and prolong its life.

Level 1

Stage 1 paint correction is designed to remove those heavier and deeper scratches in the painted surface. If a scratch is deep, it will require wet sanding techniques, followed by aggressive polishing pads and compounds to remove the deep imperfection. If a scratch is very deep and has gone through the clear coat, it will require re-painting.

Level 2

Stage 2 paint corrected will remove those medium to light swirl marks and additional imperfections in the paintwork such as marring, holograms, and water spot damage bringing the paintwork to a higher quality.

Level 3

The final stage is where a light polishing compound is used with a soft finishing pad. The purpose here is to bring the paintwork to a very high gloss and to make the paint pop and shine more.

What Variables Influence The Price Of Paint Correction?

The price of paint correction will depend on the size and condition of your vehicle. Suppose you have an older model car that’s been neglected significantly. In that case, it will likely cost more than a recently purchased vehicle with pristine bodywork because this requires more work and hours put in.
