Paint correction is the process of removing minor scratches and imperfections found in the vehicles clear coat. Using an electric polisher, a microfiber buffing pad, and a special "cutting" compound (extremely fine abrasive), the detailer will "cut" into the clear coat of a vehicle’s paint till the scratches are leveled or removed.
Paint Correction, also referred to as Polishing, involves using a series of very fine abrasive compounds to remove minor scratches and imperfections in your cars clear coat.
These fine scratches in your paints clear coat are responsible for the notorious "swirls" you see when sunlight reflects off your vehicle. These "swirls" are not actually circular scratches, but rather, they are just random scratches that appear as almost holographic swirls when reflecting a point source of light such as the sun, or as seen here, the shop lights.
This process also naturally removes all of the oxidation on the surface of your clear coat that dulls the exterior of your vehicle. Depending on the degree of damage, we may have to start with a more aggressive compound to "cut" deeper into the clear coat (sometimes even using fine sand paper), and follow up with another one of two finer "cuts" to restore the gloss of your clear coat.
The result is a gloss and shine that in many cases exceeds the one you remember when your vehicle came off the factory floor (see the before and after pictures below). In fact, many of our customers bring their brand-new vehicles in for a Polish to remove any minor imperfections from the factory prior to receiving a ceramic coating. If you are considering a ceramic coating for your older vehicle, it is wise to consider a paint correction prior to doing so.
Was absolutely amazed by the quality of work. I had a full interior detail and minor paint correction with a cermaic coating. My car is a 2007 so it was quite dirty on the inside and the paint had many swirls. The interior detail turned out better than I imagined. They got all the stains removed, which some of the stains I thought were...
Leo and his crew do great work. I've used them for several years on a few different vehicles and the outcomes are always top notch. I highly recommend The Works to anyone looking for quality results. If you have a vehicle worth high end treatment, you will not be disappointed.
We have a relatively new 4Runner that unfortunately suffered a bunch of scratches in the paint; we were referred to the team at the Works as a team that does great work and could help us out. Not only did Leo and the team fix all of the scratches, they went above and beyond to help us procure paint from Toyota for a small chip and get us setup...
I had the interior of my car detailed. My car had not been cleaned inside in years. My cream colored leather interior had a lot of black stains. I also have 2 large very furry dogs that are frequently in the car. Quincy worked on my car and did an awesome job. The interior looks amazing! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank You!
