The Paint Correction Process
Our paint correction procedure is a proven and tested technique of restoring the finish with minimal risk to the clear coat.
Step 1: Book & Inquire
Schedule an appointment online or over the phone. We ask customers to bring their vehicle to us so we are able to inspect the paint beforehand to give an accurate quote.
Step 2: Inspection
With you present, we inspect your vehicle to identify swirl marks, scratch depth, and oxidation. Some scratches may be too deep to where they may not come out. When we walk around the vehicle with you, we try our best to point those out to set expectations.
Step 3: Paint Correction Process
The service includes decontamination, clay bar treatment, and compound polishing. For heavy scratches, we wet sand for increased clarity. We measure the average paint depth for each panel to ensure we remove a safe amount of clearcoat without exposing the base coat.
Step 4: Final Check & Delivery
Before delivery, we perform a final inspection. We walk through the results with you and explain how to maintain the corrected finish.
