Auto Detailing FAQs
What does a paint correction do?
Paint correction is a process that involves removing defects and blemishes such as scratches, swirls, etching, oxidation, and holograms from the surface of a car paintwork, restoring it to its original or better than original condition.
What products do you typically use?
No, paint correction isn’t a permanent solution. Regular use of your car can lead to the surface becoming scratched or swirled and the paintwork would require a further correction.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 paint correction?
Level 1 paint correction can generally fix 50%-60% of scratches and swirls, whereas Level 2 paint correction will fix 60%-90%.
Is paint correction a permanent solution?
No, paint correction isn’t a permanent solution. Regular use of your car can lead to the surface becoming scratched or swirled and the paintwork would require a further correction.
How much does paint correction cost?
The cost can vary greatly depending on the size of the car, the severity of the damage, and the rates of the auto detailing shop. Level 1 paint correction at Auto-Glow Detailing starts from $750 and Level 2 paint correction starts at $1250.
Does paint correction remove the clear coat?
No, paint correction does not completely remove the clear coat. Paint correction involves polishing the clear coat to remove imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and etchings. It does thin out the clear coat to some extent, but it does not completely remove it.
Can I do car paint correction myself?
Yes, it is possible to attempt car paint correction yourself with the right tools and a good understanding of the process. However, if it’s not done correctly, you might end up causing more harm than good. This is why many people choose to leave this task to trained professionals who have the right equipment, products, and expertise to achieve optimal results.
What is the difference between paint correction and car detailing?
Car detailing involves a deep cleaning of both the interior and exterior of your vehicle, whereas paint correction focuses solely on the exterior paintwork, specifically removing its imperfections.
How can I maintain my car's paint after correction?
Regular washing, use of high-quality wax or sealant, careful handling to avoid scratches and swirls, and keeping your car covered or garaged can help maintain the results of the paint correction.
Is there anything else I can do besides paint correction to enhance the look and value of my car?
Yes, there are several options beyond paint correction that can significantly enhance the look and longevity of your car. One effective way is by implementing a headlight restoration process, that can restore the brightness and clarity of your headlights which weather and time can diminish. Furthermore, you can consider a ceramic coating application. The ceramic coating provides a robust layer of protection that guards your car against UV damageand bird droppings while adding an impressive glossy finish that improves aesthetics. Also, regular auto detailing can do wonders for maintaining the value and pristine look of your car. Regular detailing goes beyond ordinary cleaning and washing, it extends to thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of your car, both inside and out, to produce a show-quality level of detail. All these measures combined will ensure your car remains in top-value condition.
