Paint correction is a term that describes the process of restoring and rejuvenating your car’s paint surface. It helps reduce the appearance of imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches by bird droppings and acid rain etching. While there are a variety of products available to help owners remedy these issues on their own, sometimes having a professional perform the work is necessary.

The paint polishing process involves a machine polisher and a range of different polish products, from heavy cutting compounds to much finer products. This level of work is a labor intensive and highly technical process. In most cases it is best performed by a trained and experienced professional.

Typically referred to as the all in one or single stage paint correction, this is an intermediate service that targets the removal of light swirls and scratches. It can be performed in one stage, but generally requires more than one as the first step of this process involves compounding your vehicles paint to remove any major imperfections, which then needs to be polished to eliminate any hazing left behind from the initial stage. This level of paint correction can typically achieve between 75% and 85% defect removal.

As the name suggests, this is a more advanced version of paint correction that aims to produce near perfect results. It can be a very time-consuming process as it often requires multiple stages of the compounding and polishing process in order to achieve this level of perfection. In some instances, this level of paint correction may also require additional abrasive treatments such as wet sanding and block sanding in order to remove deeper imperfections. In addition, this level of paint correction is frequently completed with the application of a ceramic coating in order to further protect the paint from environmental damage in the future.
