Paint Correction
LET US REMOVE THOSE DEFECTS
WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION
RESTORE YOUR PAINT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION
Paint correction (machine buffing or machine polishing) is the process of leveling / removing or minimizing defects such as scratches, swirl marks, surface contaminants, water spots, and oxidation to restore your paint back to its original condition. Clearcoat texture is reduced on a microscopic level to even the surface finish. The goal is to remove these defects while preserving the clear coat as much as possible.
Deep scratches beyond the clear coat are not fully correctable with this method but they can often be minimized depending upon the depth of the damage. Damage to the base coat would require repainting procedures for this type of correction and is not within the scope of our services. We can refer you to several reputable auto body shops for this type of paint repair.
Paint correction is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process which requires well trained visual awareness and the skill-set to perfect the art that goes into restoring the paint. We are trained in Rupes procedures and employ their products with our correction methods. These products are designed to pull out imperfections and contaminates rather than adding temporary fillers to the pores of the paint as some products do.
We offer 3 options for Paint Correction which are typically involved with our Ceramic Pro coatings.
STAGE 1
STAGE 1 - Prices start at $250 and include our signature Hand wash, clay bar for surface decontamination, machine polish for minor surface defects, and surgical preparation for ceramic coating. This service is typically intended for new vehicles looking to receive quality Ceramic Coating.
STAGE 2
STAGE 2 - Prices start at $550. This service includes the same preparation stages of the Stage 1 with the addition of machine compounding and secondary polishing. This treatment is designed to remove swirl marks, light scratches and typical car wash brush marks and to increase depth of gloss. This service is best suited for vehicles less than 2 years old.
STAGE 3
STAGE 3 - Prices start at $750. The same procedures outlined in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Corrections with the addition of abrasive technologies and wet-sanding procedures to remove deeper defects within the paint. This intensive and detailed immersion into paint correction is as deep as one can go in terms of correction outside of re-painting. It is typically a multi-day process, and a quality Ceramic Coating is highly recommended to take full advantage of the correction results.
