Boulder Paint Correction
Paint correction is the process of removing minor scratches and imperfections found in the vehicles clear coat. Using an electric polisher, a microfiber buffing pad, and a special "cutting" compound (extremely fine abrasive), the detailer will "cut" into the clear coat of a vehicle’s paint till the scratches are leveled or removed.
Paint Correction, also referred to as Polishing, involves using a series of very fine abrasive compounds to remove minor scratches and imperfections in your cars clear coat.
These fine scratches in your paints clear coat are responsible for the notorious "swirls" you see when sunlight reflects off your vehicle. These "swirls" are not actually circular scratches, but rather, they are just random scratches that appear as almost holographic swirls when reflecting a point source of light such as the sun, or as seen here, the shop lights.
This process also naturally removes all of the oxidation on the surface of your clear coat that dulls the exterior of your vehicle. Depending on the degree of damage, we may have to start with a more aggressive compound to "cut" deeper into the clear coat (sometimes even using fine sand paper), and follow up with another one of two finer "cuts" to restore the gloss of your clear coat.
The result is a gloss and shine that in many cases exceeds the one you remember when your vehicle came off the factory floor (see the before and after pictures below). In fact, many of our customers bring their brand-new vehicles in for a Polish to remove any minor imperfections from the factory prior to receiving a ceramic coating. If you are considering a ceramic coating for your older vehicle, it is wise to consider a paint correction prior to doing so.

I saw a bunch of high end expensive cars they were working on and I appreciate they spent the same quality of service on my kids high school car they were spending on a Porshe that was next to it. They didn't...
I really like all the folks at The Works. Honesty & integrity don't always get associated with auto repair / detail businesses. But, the folks at The Works, have both qualities, in full display. Being a full time Uber driver, you never know when you will need the expert care, associated with passenger accidents. During my 4.5+ years, I have...

I wanted to sell my car and took it to The Works to get it cleaned up for sale. It looked amazing and I quickly sold the car for full asking price. If I ever buy a used car again the first place I will go is The Works to make it feel brand new and just like mine. Thank you!
