Paint Correction FAQ

  • What is paint correction?

    Paint correction is a meticulous process designed to restore a vehicle's paintwork by removing surface imperfections such as scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. This involves using specialized tools, qualified technicians and compounds to thoroughly decontaminate the vehicle's paintwork and carefully remove a fine layer of clear coat. In doing so it enhances the car's overall appearance, restoring to a showroom shine.

  • what causes paint defects?

    Paint defects can arise from various factors, including environmental influences like bird droppings, acid rain, and debris during washing. Additionally, factory defects and improper washing techniques can introduce swirl marks and scratches. Understanding these sources helps in implementing effective correction techniques.

  • Whats the difference between paint correction and paint protection?

    Paint correction focuses on removing existing imperfections to restore the paint's original look. In contrast, paint protection methods, such as waxing or ceramic coatings, provide a barrier against environmental damage. Both processes are important for comprehensive vehicle care. Paint correction can last a long time if the car is correctly washed and stored. It is recommended to use ceramic coating for a more durable long-lasting protection on the paint.

  • Can paint protection remove scratches?

    Paint correction can effectively remove scratches that are within the clear coat. However, deeper scratches that penetrate the base coat may require additional touch-up work beyond just correction.
