WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Sometimes, due to time, environment, or other conditions. Your car may have some stubborn problems. For example, stains in the interior, candy in the carpet, dust in seat gaps, or oil in the air vents. The surface of your car’s paint is also covered with scratches, marks, etc. All of these factors makes your car look dull and dim. None of these problems can be solved by a simple car wash. What it needs is deep cleaning and maintenance. You can choose our different car detailing services listed below

Benefits of paint correction

Remove minor scratches, swirls & marrings

At this stage, we focus on removing minor swirls and slight scratches. Stage 1 Paint Correction is more suitable for vehicles with newer paint conditions, and is more recommended for vehicles used within a year or two.

Refurbishing paint to original condition

The paint correction for stage 2 is suitable for most vehicles, and it is also the most cost-effective paint correction. Vehicles with poor paint conditions can be restored to the best state visible to the naked eye.

Improve Gloss & Slickness

Stage 3 paint correction is aimed at car lovers who have extremely high requirements on the paint surface of the vehicle and the situation where the paint condition is too poor due to corrosion by chemicals, long-term use of automatic car washing, excessive scratches, loss of gloss on the paint surface, etc. This process however takes a lot of time in either restoring the paint surface to a perfect condition or to repair the poor paint surface.

Preparing Paint to ideal condition for protection

Most people think question the necessity of a paint correction. The most common question we receive is: “Why does my new car need paint correction? Doesn’t a new car have the most perfect paint surface?”. Of course not.

The gloss of the paint surface is determined by the varnish on top of the paint. The varnish is evenly sprayed on in the factory creating a seemingly perfectly painted surface. Nevertheless, from the perspective of the microcosm, the sprayed surface is still made of stacked paint particles. Moreover, during the process of delivering the vehicle from the factory to the customer, it will have experienced sandstorms in transportation, friction during cleaning, and many dealers will perform waxing in order to maintain the gloss of the car paint. These factors will affect the gloss of the car paint itself. Gloss Enhancement uses the finest abrasive and the softest polishing disc to raise the varnish layer to a smooth height, which makes it possible to increase the brightness of 20%-30% even for new cars.

BEFORE & AFTER USE CERAMIC COATING

DO WE NEED TO PROTECT THE PAINT AFTER PAINT CORRECTION?

OF COURSE, EACH PAINT CORRECTION IS A PROCESS OF POLISHING THE PAINT SURFACE TO A DEPTH WITH THE SCRATCHES, ESPECIALLY FOR DEEPER SCRATCHES, WHICH MEANS THAT THE VARNISH LAYER AROUND THE SCRATCHES IS THINNER. EVEN A BRAND-NEW VEHICLE CAN ONLY PERFORM DEEP PAINT CORRECTION ABOUT 4 TIMES. AND DURING THE PAINT CORRECTION PROCESS, THE PAINT SURFACE WILL ALSO HAVE PORES CAUSED BY THE SPRAYING PROCESS. THESE TINY PORES ALSO MAKE THE VARNISH LAYER MORE FRAGILE AND MORE PRONE TO AGING. FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDER A SIMPLE SKIN ROUTINE, EVERY TIME YOU DO A DEEP CLEANSING OF YOUR SKIN, YOU HAVE TO APPLY SOME SKIN CREAM TO MOISTURIZE AND PROTECT YOUR PORES. LIKEWISE, AFTER PAINT CORRECTION THEN PROTECTING YOUR PAINT IS VERY IMPORTANT

HOW TO PROTECT THE PAINT?

THE MORE COMMON PAINT PROTECTION METHODS ON THE MARKET MAINLY INCLUDE WAXING, CERAMIC COATING AND PAINT PROTECTION FILM. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR BUDGET, THE TIME YOU EXPECT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT WILL BE SUBJECTED. BUT WE DO NOT RECOMMEND WAXING. FIRST, THE MAIN FUNCTION OF WAX IS TO FILL IN SCRATCHES AND SWIRLS, AND THEN FORM A BRIGHT PAINT SURFACE. BUT EVERY WAXING PROCESS IS A PROCESS OF SCRATCHING THE CAR PAINT, AND THEN FILLING IT WITH WAX. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY TIME YOU WAX, YOU ARE CONSTANTLY SCRATCHING THE CAR PAINT AND THEN COVERING IT, AND THE DURABILITY OF THE WAX IS LIMITED, YOU NEED TO KEEP WAXING TO COVER UP YOUR WAXING PROBLEMS. WE SUGGEST CERAMIC COATING OR PAINT PROTECTION FILM.

CAN I DO PAINT CORRECTION BY MYSELF

PAINT CORRECTION IS A COMPLEX AND SYSTEMATIC WORK. FOR DIFFERENT PAINT SURFACE HARDNESS, THICKNESS, GLOSS AND DEPTH OF SCRATCHES, THE RANGE MUST BE MATCHED WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLISHING MACHINES, DISCS AND ABRASIVES. IN THE RE-POLISHING PROCESS, THERE ARE VERY HIGH REQUIREMENTS ON THE MASTERY, SPEED AND STRENGTH OF THE POLISHING MACHINE. EVEN IF YOU CAN LEARN AND PRACTICE BETTER PAINT CORRECTION TECHNIQUES, IS IT NECESSARY TO BUY DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLISHING MACHINES, DISCS AND ABRASIVES AT SUCH A HIGH PRICE?
