What is Automotive Paint Protection?
Automotive paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from a vehicle’s paintwork—such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and holograms—through machine polishing and advanced techniques. The goal is to restore clarity, depth, and a flawless finish to the paint, often making it look better than new.
How Paint Correction Works
1. Thorough Wash & Decontamination
The process begins with a deep clean to remove dirt, road grime, tar, and embedded contaminants from the paint surface. This includes a full wash, iron removal, and clay bar treatment to ensure a smooth, clean surface ready for correction.
2. Paint Assessment & Testing
The paintwork is inspected under proper lighting to identify swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. A test spot is then polished to determine the best combination of polishing pad and compound for optimal results.
3. Machine Polishing
Using specialized polishing machines and compounds, we carefully level the clear coat by removing a microscopic layer of damaged paint. This eliminates imperfections and restores gloss and clarity.
4. Refinement & Finishing
After defect removal, a finer polish is used to refine the finish, leaving a mirror-like shine free of haze or micro-marring.
5. Protection
Once the paint correction is complete, we recommend sealing the paint with a high-quality wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to protect the restored finish and maintain the results long-term
