Paint Correction 101
-
If you look at your car in direct sunlight and it appears dull or oxidized, you need paint correction. If you see swirls on your car left behind by machine car wash bristles, your car needs paint correction. The best way to see the severity of the paint is to have us stop by and let us show you the defects under special color-matching LED lights.
-
There are different levels of paint correction. Depending on the amount of defects you want removed, you can choose a polish only, a cut and polish, or a cut, polish & finish. We call these “steps” or “stages” of paint correction.
-
Yes, you can polish your car on your own but if you don’t have experience or the right tools, you take a very high risk of leaving holograms or burning the clear coat.
