Paint Correction
What Is Paint Correction, and Why Does a Car Need It?
What is Paint Correction?
The most basic way to put it is that paint correction is essentially polishing the paint. It’s a procedure that involves using a polisher and multiple grades of polish and cutting compounds in stages to remove minor imperfections on the paint’s surface. It’s simply the process of cleaning up the outermost layers of paint so that minor imperfections don’t take away from the luster.
What Damaged my Vehicle?
Do you ever take your car through a drive thru car wash? Every time you run a duster or microfiber or anything over the paint, install a car cover, or lightly brush up against the surface of your car, dust, dirt, and debris bite into the paint. Although you might not always see them, microscopic scratches are left behind. As these tiny scratches pile up throughout the years, they’ll start to stand out.
What Expectations Should I Have?
Paint correction is great for dealing with small imperfections, as it removes a very small layer of the paint or clear coat, just to bring it to level with the deepest parts of the scratches. If the right products are used, paint correction can also help with some oxidation. While paint correction has amazing results, it can only do so much. It’s not going to fix orange peel It won’t remove any deep scratches in the clear coat It certainly won’t repair scratches that go all the way to the metal.
