All About Paint Corrections

What they are, what they do and what to expect.

Paint corrections offer a great benefit not only to the look of your vehicles paint, but will influence the durability of any surface topper, wax, sealant or ceramic coating. Even if it's just a polish up, your ceramic coating or other surface sealant will bond or 'stick' better to a fresher paint surface, rather than on any existing oxidation layer that may lie in your clear coat. Not only will your paint look significantly better, it will perform better, which is is why we highly recommend doing this, and adding a ceramic coating to lock in the results and protect your paint.

We offer multiple ranges of paint correction packages to suit your wants and needs, From a single stage polish to remove light oxidation and fine tune your clear coat, to heavy cutting paint corrections for removal of thicker layers of oxidation, swirls or moderate to deeper scratches.

 

Each descending package below scales up in aggressiveness while still giving maximum attention to detail. We are very particular here with our paint corrections and have great experience with the process. Along with experience, we strongly believe in the ethics involved with the process. When dealing with a deep, but removeable scratch, it is always important to keep as much clear coat as possible to preserve the life of your paint. The general rule of thumb is: If you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it is deeper than the clear coat. Although, if there is a scratch we can't remove, we can at least improve it. Oftentimes, they can be rendered unnoticeable (check out our perfection correction we performed on the silver Honda S2000 for an example). In all, we ensure to take the upmost care with your vehicle and its paint.

When picking between packages, we will help you choose what is best for you and your car to achieve the most desirable results. We can even take a look at your vehicle beforehand at no cost to give you a better in person analysis!
