Paint correction is machine polishing that reduces swirl marks, haze, oxidation, and light scratches in the clear coat. We assess your paint and choose the preparation needed to improve gloss before coating.
Timing depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and the amount of polishing needed. Correction and coating require careful preparation plus the coating’s specified cure time. We explain the schedule and aftercare before your appointment.
No. Polishing can reduce swirls and many shallow scratches, but deep scratches, chips, and damage through the clear coat may need paint repair. We inspect your vehicle and explain realistic results before starting. Ceramic coating does not make paint scratch-proof or prevent rock chips.
A ceramic coating is a protective treatment applied to prepared paint. It creates a durable, water-repellent surface that enhances gloss and helps dirt release during washing. It makes maintenance easier, but your vehicle still needs regular washing and prompt removal of sap, bird droppings, and other contamination.
Durability depends on the selected coating, preparation, driving conditions, storage, and maintenance. We explain the expected protection period and any applicable warranty terms for your chosen package in your quote. Regular, gentle washing helps maintain performance.
Yes. Correcting the paint before coating is the ideal time to improve the finish, because a coating protects the surface rather than removing existing defects. After polishing, we prepare the paint for the coating. New vehicles also benefit from an inspection and decontamination before application.
Follow the curing and first-wash instructions provided with your coating. After curing, wash regularly with a coating-safe, pH-neutral shampoo and clean wash tools. Avoid brush car washes and abrasive cleaners. Remove bird droppings and sap promptly, and ask us about maintenance washes for coated vehicles.
