Paint Correction
Paint correction is removing scratches and swirls from the paint through machine polishing. This with give your vehicle a show car shine.
1-Step Paint Correction
A 1-step paint correction is a process that aims to improve the appearance and condition of a vehicle's paint in a single step. This process typically involves using a machine polisher with a mild abrasive pad and compound to remove light to moderate imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation.
One reason someone would want a 1-step paint correction is that it can significantly improve the overall appearance of the vehicle's paint without the need for multiple steps. This process can remove surface imperfections, restore the paint's shine, and improve the color and clarity of the paint. Additionally, it can be a more cost-effective option than a multi-step paint correction process.
Another reason someone may want a 1-step paint correction is that it can be useful for vehicles that have not been well-maintained or have not been detailed in a long time, as it can quickly and effectively improve the appearance of the paint. It is also a great option for those who want to prepare their vehicle for a ceramic coating or paint protection film, as the surface must be in the best possible condition for the coating to adhere well and provide optimal protection.
2-Step Paint Correction
A 2-step paint correction is a process that involves two steps to improve the appearance and condition of a vehicle's paint. The first step typically involves using a machine polisher with a mild abrasive pad and compound to remove light to moderate imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. The second step involves using a machine polisher with a finer abrasive pad and compound to refine the paint and bring out a higher level of gloss.
One reason someone would want a 2-step paint correction is that it can achieve a higher level of paint correction than a single step process. Because the second step is more refined, it can remove finer imperfections and increase the level of shine, clarity and color of the paint. This process can also be useful for vehicles that have more severe paint imperfections and require a more aggressive correction.
Another reason someone may want a 2-step paint correction is that it can be useful for vehicles that are going to be used for shows, photography, or for those who want to have the most perfect paint surface. This process can bring out the maximum level of shine and clarity, making the paint look like new. Additionally, it's a great option for those who want to prepare their vehicle for a ceramic coating or paint protection film, as the surface must be in the best possible condition for the coating to adhere well and provide optimal protection.
3-Step Paint Correction and its differences from the 2-Step process
A 3-step paint correction is a process that involves three steps to improve the appearance and condition of a vehicle's paint. The first step typically involves using a machine polisher with a more aggressive abrasive pad and compound to remove moderate to heavy imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. The second step involves using a machine polisher with a milder abrasive pad and compound to refine the paint and remove any remaining imperfections. The third step is the final refinement step, using a machine polisher with a fine abrasive pad and finishing polish to enhance the gloss and clarity of the paint.
One reason someone would want a 3-step paint correction is that it is the most comprehensive paint correction process available, which can achieve the highest level of paint correction. It can remove the most severe imperfections, restore the paint's shine, and improve the color and clarity of the paint. This process can also be useful for vehicles that have been heavily scratched, faded, or have been poorly maintained.
Another reason someone may want a 3-step paint correction is that it can be useful for luxury or high-end vehicles, show cars, or for those who want to have the most perfect paint surface possible. It can bring out the maximum level of shine, clarity, and reflectivity, making the paint look like new. Additionally, it's a great option for those who want to prepare their vehicle for a ceramic coating or paint protection film, as the surface must be in the best possible condition for the coating to adhere well and provide optimal protection.
With every paint correction, we complete the following steps
Wash
Upon your arrival for a paint correction service, the initial step we undertake is to clean your car. A strip wash is utilized to eliminate any existing waxes or sealants on the paint surface, so that the paint is stripped bare and ready to receive the ceramic coating. We use the two-bucket wash method and foam cannon to safely remove debris without causing any damage to the paint. This step is crucial in the ceramic coating process, as it guarantees that the coating will be properly adhered and provide optimal protection for your vehicle's paint.
Decontamination
In the cleaning phase, we thoroughly detail the exterior of your vehicle. Utilizing soft cleaning brushes, wash mitts, and other tools, we clean the general paint and pay special attention to the wheel barrels, wheel wells, front grille, emblems, and other areas. It is vital that your vehicle is completely detailed before the ceramic coating is applied to ensure proper bonding to the vehicle's surface. To avoid any failed coatings, we meticulously detail the vehicle from top to bottom. We use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants. Clay bars are very important to ensuring the surface is 100% clean.
