Professional Paint Correction Near You - East Bay's Premier Service

WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Understanding Professional Paint Correction

Paint correction is the process of permanently removing surface imperfections in your vehicle’s paintwork, including:

• Swirl marks from improper washing techniques
• Light to moderate scratches in the clear coat
• Oxidation and fading from sun exposure
• Water spots and etching from hard water
• Holograms from rotary buffer abuse
• Orange peel texture from factory paint application

Unlike waxing or polishing that temporarily fills imperfections, paint correction actually removes a microscopic layer of clear coat to level the surface, eliminating defects permanently.

PAINT CORRECTION PROCESS

Our 7-Step Professional Paint Correction Process

Step 1: Thorough Inspection & Assessment

We examine your vehicle’s paint under high-intensity LED lighting to identify all defects, measure paint thickness, and determine the appropriate correction level needed.

Step 2: Deep Cleaning & Decontamination

Complete wash, clay bar treatment, and chemical decontamination to remove all bonded contaminants. Clean paint is essential for accurate correction.

Step 3: Paint Thickness Measurement

Using a professional paint depth gauge, we measure clear coat thickness across all panels to ensure we have sufficient material for safe correction.

Step 4: Masking & Protection

We carefully tape and protect all trim, rubber, and plastic components to prevent polish residue and potential damage.

Step 5: Multi-Stage Correction

Depending on defect severity, we perform 1-3 stages of correction using progressively finer compounds and polishes to eliminate imperfections.

Step 6: Paint Refinement

Final polishing stage removes any micro-marring and enhances gloss to achieve a mirror-like finish.

Step 7: Protection Application

We apply premium wax, sealant, or ceramic coating (your choice) to protect the newly corrected paint and lock in the results.
