What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a professional polishing process that removes a small amount of clear coat to level imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. This restores depth, clarity, and gloss for a refined finish.
What is the difference between a 1-step and 2-step paint correction?
A 1-step correction uses a single polishing stage to enhance gloss, improve clarity, and reduce light imperfections. A 2-step correction involves multiple polishing stages to remove deeper defects and achieve a more refined, showroom-quality finish.
How long does paint correction take?
The time required depends on the size, condition, and level of correction needed. A 1-step correction typically takes several hours, while a 2-step correction may require a full day or more to achieve the best results.
How often should paint correction be performed?
Paint correction is not a routine service like detailing; it is performed when your vehicle’s paint needs restoration and refinement. Once corrected, the paint is left with a smooth, enhanced finish that creates the ideal foundation for a professional ceramic coating. With proper maintenance, these results can last for years.
Should I get a ceramic coating after paint correction?
Yes. Paint correction creates the perfect foundation for a ceramic coating by refining the surface and revealing your vehicle’s true depth, clarity, and gloss. A professional ceramic coating then locks in that finish while providing long-lasting protection and easier maintenance.
