What is paint correction?

The Process
Paint correction is a fine process of removing paint imperfections from the clear coat of the car, these imperfections are the likes of swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and oxidised paint. After the correction we polish the paint to remove the hazing from the correction stage and bring that glossy look back to your paint.

The First Stage
We give the car a pre-wash with a high Ph snow foam to loosen the dirt, then we go in with a acidic shampoo to contact wash the paint using the 2 bucket method. We then chemically and mechanically decontaminate the paint using iron removers, tar removers and clay bars. Now the paint is ready to begin the correction.

The Second Stage
We will start of with a strong cutting compound with a wool or heavy cut pad to remove the majority of defects in the paint, we work in small areas at a time to ensure maximum effectiveness, this stage removes 80-90% of defects.

The Third Stage
We wipe away the excess compound from the previous stage and go in with a finer polish or micro cut with a soft pad to bring back the gloss of the paint and to remove any hazing or smaller defects left behind by the second stage, then we use an IPA or panel prep spray to remove any leftover residue to reveal a glossy, perfect finish on the paint.

The Final Stage
After a correction or gloss enhancement, why not protect that finish with a 1, 2, 3 or 5 year ceramic coating to lock in that perfect finish?
The ceramic coating leaves behind a protective layer of SI02, which is ultra-hydrophobic. This layer protects against UV rays and staining, repels dirt to make the vehicles maintenance easier and boosts its value!
