Whats included in a Paint Correction?
Paint correction is designed for customers who expect their car to look as good as it did the day that it was made…..if not better!
Taking on average 2-3 days to carry out, your car will receive multiple stages of machine polishing leaving the paintwork flawless and with incredibly deep levels of naturally high gloss.
The vehicle will start the process with a thorough wash and decontamination to ensure the paintwork is clean and dirt free, if not done correctly, dirt and contaminants could end up lodged inside your paintwork.
We will then start with a multistage process of machine polishing using different grades of polish and cutting compounds. This results in approximately 95-100% of scratches and swirl marks being removed. Heavy surface scratches will also be removed during the process as long as they haven’t gone through to the primer.
After your car paint correction, the panels are wiped down with an IPA/panel wipe to remove any oils and residue from your paintwork that may be left behind from the polish. This is to ensure the ceramic will bond correctly with the paintwork. Your car will then be protected with our state-of-the-art ceramic coating GZOX which will seal in that perfect finish, protecting the paintwork from the elements for up to 9 years. To finish off, we will detail the interior of your car which will include leather and cloth seats along with the trim being cleaned, conditioned, and also protected with leather & fabric protectors.
The final results will restore your car to incredible condition. The process of paint correction is complete when we are 100% happy that it would be impossible to make it look any better. As I’m sure you can understand, this is a very intense and laborious task, which means more time consuming, thus, a higher cost associated with paint correction. However, the results your will see, will surpass any expectations you have.
