What Is A Paint Correction

• Restores Shine: By removing imperfections and polishing the surface, paint correction can restore a deep, glossy finish to your vehicle.
• Increases Vehicle Value: A well-maintained, shiny vehicle with no visible imperfections is more appealing and can potentially increase resale value.
• Easier Maintenance: Once paint correction is complete, keeping the car clean becomes easier because the smooth surface prevents contaminants from bonding as easily.
• Longer-Term Protection: The right coatings and polishes will help keep the paint protected from elements like water, tree sap, and road salt.

Paint correction can vary in intensity based on the severity of the imperfections. There are usually three levels:

1. Single-Stage Polish (Light Correction): Removes minor swirls and light oxidation. It typically doesn't involve cutting into the clear coat much and is great for cars with minor imperfections.
2. Two-Stage Polish (Moderate Correction): A more intense process that uses a heavier compound for deeper defects and a finer polish for refining the finish.
3. Three-Stage Polish (Heavy Correction): The most aggressive form of paint correction, used for heavily damaged or neglected paint. This level involves a heavy-cut compound, a medium-cut polish, and a finishing polish.
