The Different Levels Of Paint Correction We Do

A 1-step paint correction is what most people will get when they are looking to bring back the gloss and clarity in their paint. This form of paint correction will provide a noticeable improvement in your vehicle’s finish by removing around 60% of the scratches and swirl marks. This process involves a single polishing stage, where a polish is applied to gently smooth out the surface and reduce imperfections. While it significantly enhances the clarity and gloss of the paint, deeper or more stubborn defects may remain.

On the other hand, a 2-step correction offers a more thorough restoration in your paints clarity. This is for the car enthusiasts because it will remove up to 85-100% of the scratches, swirls, and imperfections. This more advanced process involves two stages: first, a more aggressive compound is used to remove the deeper defects, followed by a finer polishing stage to refine the paint and bring out a perfect, smooth finish. This approach is ideal for vehicles with more severe imperfections or for those seeking a flawless, showroom-like appearance.

Even New Vehicles Need Paint Correction

And yes, for newer vehicles, even if it’s just 4 months off the lot, the paint can still require a 2-step correction service. Although you’ve only had the vehicle for a few months, the car has been transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places).

It’s during this time that the car is moved, washed, transported, washed, stored, etc… It’s no surprise that new vehicles, regardless of the make and model, leave the showroom with heavy amount of swirls and imperfections. 

Paint correction is a commitment you’re making to the vehicle. If you’d like to keep your paint in great condition, you have to properly maintain the vehicle after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle, you can easily put all those swirls and scratches back into your paint in just a few washes.

This is the most tedious service for detailing. Depending on your vehicle, the condition of the paint, and the results you ant, it can take between 8 to 15 hours of work to complete.

PAINT CORRECTION FAQ'S

Do you offer ceramic coatings?
We sure do! This is a fantastic option to protect your paint from the weather. You can read more about our ceramic coatings here You can also stay with the more traditional wax or sealant at no additional price. 

How long do the results last?
After the paint is corrected, the next phase is maintenance. It’s just like training your pet to sit on command. You don’t just teach them once and think they’ll know it forever.

You have to continually train and repeat the commands. It’s the same with paint correction. You have to properly (and routinely) wash and dry your vehicle moving forward to maintain the swirl-free finish of your paint. If not, you’re back to square one.

Where are you located?
Our detail shop is located at 12155 Cutten rd. We’re right down the street from Willowbrook mall. Depending on the level of work, it can take 2 to 3 days to complete the service. We also offer limited mobile detailing services to the Fairfax and surrounding areas (paint correction is shop-only).

What tools and products do you use?
A wide arrange of machines,pads,polishes,compounds,cleaners,towels, and lights will be used to work on your car. Every car will be different and will yield different methods and tools.

What’s the difference between a wax and paint correction?
A wax does not remove any swirls or scratches from your paint. It only hides the very light swirls and can be completed in a few hours. Paint correction actually removes the swirls in your paint. This is what makes the paint shine like crazy. It also takes a substantial amount of time and energy to complete. Usually one or two full days (depending on size, condition, and desired results)..

Why get a
ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating, is a protective layer applied to the exterior surfaces of vehicles to enhance their appearance and provide long-lasting protection.

Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, ceramic coatings are made with silica dioxide (SiO2) which bonds chemically with the paint very well. Creating a hydrophobic and protective barrier that lasts for 1-7 YEARS.A thick gloss barrier on the clear coat of your paint that protects your cars appearance and condition for years to come.
