Paint correction is a highly valued skilled in the detailing business.
In lamens terms paint correction means to transform your car into a glass mirror through correct buffing techniques.
It is not a cut and polish by any means. Paint correction is a separate entity to car detailing as the extra time it takes to perfect your paints surface would not be cost efficient in a standard detail or what everyone likes to call a cut and buff
Once your car has gone through a paint correction procedure the restored painted surface is a permanent fix. Your swirl marks and scratches are gone.
To achieve these results we need to use a mild cutting compound, a polishing agent and seal in the end result with a paint protection agent.
In a perfect world it would be ideal to do this in one pass using a three in one product, but these products don’t always cut as deep or as fast as a single pass product.
Cheap car detailers like to use heavy cutting compound agents because they remove a lot of damage from the painted surface but they also leave a trail of destruction which leaves your painted surface full of swirl marks.
By using this heavy cutting compound they also remove a lot of paint from the surface which is unnecessary. By doing this they are inflicting more damage to the paint than what was already there to begin with. This is what ultimately is known as a cut and polish. Lots of poor quality crap cut, but no real polish.
You may ask the question, why don’t they clean up the trail of destruction and complete the whole paint correction process? When we have to add more passes to clean up the trail of destruction the job no longer is cost effective to a standard detail and becomes more complex.
Paint correction at highly skilled level is a longer process and approached in a completely different manner. Paint correction at this level is accomplished in stages using single based products, from cutting compound right through to a finishing compound.
At our Top Shelf Car Detailing centre in Rochampton, we use a mild abrasive compound (Meguiars) which removes safe amounts of paint but the procedure does take a little longer. Before we start the paint correction procedure we must thoroughly wash the car, decontaminate the cars paint using a clay bar and dry it thoroughly before we begin. Once your car is fully decontaminated we may begin the paint correction procedure to the completion of your preferred paint Sealant (wax) or hardened glass coating Autotriz.
These results achieved through paint correction have had our customers use the words “ I am literally speechless, What did you do with my car? And it never looked this good when it was new”
Once your car has been through the paint correction process it is permanent fix. With correct maintenance steps your car will maintain that mirror finish and this can be made a lot easier by sealing your paint with our Pompanazzi paint protection. We always encourage our customers to give us a call if they are unsure on how to maintain their vehicle as we really do want the polished mirror to last.
Some Examples Below Of Restored Paint From Scatches And Swirl Marks
As you can clearly see by these images, paint correction basically transforms vehicles not new, but better than new. Even better than a respray in most cases.
There is no need to put up with a car that is covered in scratches or swirl marks all its life when one treatment alone will restore your car on a permanent basis. It is the difference between a high market value and a low market value when it comes to selling your car and maximising your dollars on sale when you also need it.
Be it white, green, purple grey or black, paint correction applies even across the board. Colour is never an issue and if anyone tells you they charge extra to do black, turn and walk away.
That is a clear indication they do not know what they are talking about paint correction. This is a skill set that takes time to master and when in the right hands, creates results beyond belief.

Is Paint Correction Worth It ?
Yes paint correction is certainly worth it. When you compare the cost of a respray that can run into 10K – 25K and paint correction from 1K – 3k, it is obvious that paint correction is worth the cost. Paint correction also outshines factory paint jobs and even many resprays.
