Our Steps of Paint Correction

1-Step Correction

A 1-Step Correction is ideal for new or lightly used vehicles with minor paint imperfections. This service effectively eliminates small swirls, scratches, light water spots, and residual haze in the paint's surface. Our objective is to eradicate these imperfections, leaving your vehicle with a profound and pristine shine.

2-Step Correction

A 2-step paint correction is a detailed process used in automotive detailing to enhance a vehicle's paintwork. This method involves two key steps to address imperfections and improve the overall paint finish. We are aiming for a 90-95% correction with our 2 step process:

Compounding: In the first step, a compound is applied to eliminate defects like swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other surface flaws. Compounds are abrasive agents that level the paint surface by removing a thin layer of clear coat, crucial for addressing significant defects and restoring paint clarity.

Polishing: Following compounding, polishing is done to further refine the paint surface. This step removes any remaining imperfections, fine scratches, and haze from compounding. It also enhances the paint's gloss and smoothness, resulting in a refined and reflective appearance.

The objective of a 2-step paint correction is to achieve a deep, glossy finish while minimizing or eradicating visible defects in the paint.

Multi-Step Correction

A Multi-Step Correction offers the highest level of finish for your vehicle. This service aims for near-perfection, striving to eliminate 95-99% of defects. While achieving absolute perfection is challenging for most vehicles, this level of correction is ideal for show cars, classic cars, exotics, or any vehicle where impeccable appearance is desired.

Typically, this service will include wet sanding. When sanding is done properly, multiple levels of grit strength are used to ensure a perfectly smooth finish. It is extremely important sanding marks are not left behind as they may not come out during other steps of the process. Although this takes quite a bit longer, the results will be as close to perfection as we can possibly get.

FAQS

1. What is paint correction?

Paint correction is a meticulous automotive detailing procedure aimed at revitalizing a vehicle's paint surface. This process involves using specialized tools and compounds to eliminate imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. By carefully polishing the paint, paint correction restores a smooth and glossy finish, enhancing the overall appearance and depth of the paintwork.

2. What is a ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle's exterior surfaces to protect them from environmental elements and provide long-lasting shine. This coating forms a strong chemical bond with the paint, creating a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants. It also offers resistance to UV rays, oxidation, and chemical damage, helping to maintain the paint's color and integrity over time. Additionally, ceramic coatings make cleaning easier by preventing dirt and grime from adhering strongly to the surface, resulting in a sleek and glossy appearance that lasts for months or even years with proper maintenance.

3. What's the difference between a ceramic coating and traditional waxes/sealants?

Ceramic coatings are liquid polymers that chemically bond with a vehicle's paint, providing superior and long-lasting protection against UV rays, chemicals, water spots, and oxidation. They create a hydrophobic layer that repels dirt and water, making cleaning easier and maintaining a glossy appearance for years with minimal maintenance. In contrast, traditional waxes and sealants offer temporary shine and protection but require more frequent reapplication and do not provide the same level of durability and resistance as ceramic coatings.
