Required Paint Correction

A vehicle’s paint can suffer from various damages that may require paint correction, including:

Swirl Marks: These are fine circular scratches that result from improper washing techniques, using abrasive materials, or automatic car washes with harsh brushes.
Scratches: Paint can get scratched from various sources such as keying, accidental impacts, contact with abrasive objects, or improper cleaning.
Holograms: Also known as buffer trails or buffer holograms, these are visible swirling patterns that result from incorrect machine polishing techniques.
Oxidation: Over time, exposure to UV rays, pollutants, and environmental factors can cause the paint to fade, lose its luster, and develop a chalky appearance.
Water Spots: Hard water or mineral deposits can leave unsightly marks on the paint surface, especially if the water is not properly dried off.
Clear Coat Failure: The clear coat, which protects the underlying paint layers, can degrade or peel due to aging, prolonged sun exposure, or inadequate maintenance.
Paint Imperfections: These include orange peel texture (rough or dimpled surface), paint runs, dust nibs, or other inconsistencies that occurred during the manufacturing or painting process.

These are just a few examples of damages that may require paint correction. The process of paint correction involves carefully removing or minimizing these imperfections through various techniques like compounding, polishing, and refinishing, resulting in a restored and flawless paint finish.
