PAINT CORRECTION

What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the process of restoring and rejuvenating the paintwork of a vehicle, mostly through the elimination of surface imperfections, that dull, oxidize, or haze the surface by reflecting light off in various directions, therefore detracting from a true and proper, clean, sharp, reflection. These imperfections include things like swirl marks & fine scratches, bird dropping etching & acid rain etching, hologramming & buffer trails, and random isolated deep scratches. Polishing the vehicle alone DOES NOT remove these types of imperfections. We perform all paint correction in our Greenville, SC shop location.

The actual corrective process itself comprises of a small amount of clear coat or paint being removed from the surface with the use of an appropriate compounding agent to remove scratches by leveling the uneven paint surface. Then the vehicle is polished in order to level out the surface and bring back the shine.
