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 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...
Excellent workmanship AND customer service. I was able to schedule a cleaning easily and quickly, and they were very communicative before, during, and after the appointment. My car has never been cleaner! I don't get my car cleaned much, but anytime I do I'll be bringing it here :)
The best place to get your car detailed! I have a shepherd and she sheds like crazy which means I had A LOT of fur stuck everywhere in my car. They were able to get all of it out and made my car look how it did when I got it.
This team is spectacular! I inherited my dad's 2015 Subaru. Low mileage, great shape, but my dad was a smoker. The smell inside of the car was rough. Leo was straight up with me - there were several approaches that they could try (as opposed to chemical cover ups that other places offered), but no guarantees. I appreciated his candor and...
