What is Paint correction?

Identifying the causes of the damage is important for understanding why your car's finish needs paint correction.

  • Swirl Marks: Airborne debris, abrasive drying products, using brushes at car washes, and poor washing techniques are major causes of these circular micro-scratches.  

  • Surface Scratches: Fine scratches that pierce the clear coat can be caused by issues like wind-blown grit, using the wrong washing procedures, and the everyday wear and tear of driving.

  • Water Spots: The paint may get ugly white spots due to mineral deposits left over from evaporating water.  

  • Oxidation: When exposed to the sun for an extended period, the clear coat is oxidized, which results in the loss of gloss, yellowing, and fading of the coat.  

  • Etching: Environmental pollutants such as tree sap, acid rain, and bird droppings, can etch the transparent coat by chemically attacking it.   

Even while these problems can be reduced with regular car maintenance, a certain amount of wear and tear is inevitable. To undo this damage and bring back your vehicle's original appeal, car detailing paint correction is the answer.

Steps to the best

Basic Single-Stage Correction: For minor flaws, expect to pay around $300-600. This level of correction usually yields a 50-80% improvement in the paint's appearance.

Two-Stage Correction: This more intensive process, which addresses swirl marks and mild scratches, can cost between $700-$1,000. It typically results in an 80-95% improvement in paint quality.

How Long Does It Take?

Factors that influence the time: 

  • Vehicle size: Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks naturally take longer. 

  • Paint condition: The extent of the damage, including swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, will affect the time required. 

  • Desired level of correction: Achieving a near-perfect finish takes more time than a basic correction. 

  • Techniques used: One-step corrections are faster than multi-step corrections.
