What is the procedure for doing a paint correction?
Paint correction is a process that involves several steps to restore and enhance the appearance of the car.
Here's a breakdown of the process.
Wash the car: The first step is to thoroughly wash the car to remove any dirt, grime, and contaminants from the paint surface.
Paint decontamination: Next, a clay bar or a chemical decontamination process is used to remove embedded contaminants like tar, tree sap, or industrial fallout that cannot be removed by washing alone.
Paint inspection: The car's paint is carefully inspected under proper lighting to identify imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, or holograms. We also measure the thickness of the clear coat before polishing.
Machine polishing: Using a machine polisher and appropriate polishing compounds, we work on each panel to remove or reduce imperfections depending on the project.
Wash the car: We wash the car again to remove polish dust and compound residues from the paint.
Protection: Once the paint correction is completed, the car is washed and dried, and a protective layer such as a ceramic coating or paint sealant can be applied to provide long-lasting protection against UV rays, and environmental contaminants, and enhance the shine.
It's important to note that paint correction is a highly skilled process that requires expertise, proper tools, and attention to detail. It is often performed by professional detailers who have the necessary experience and knowledge to achieve the best results while preserving the integrity of the paint.
