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.
Excellent service! I had my vehicle in town while and I was away- it was dropped off and detailed while I took care of business- came back to a polished car! It was very satisfying to see the level of detail they took to cleaning the interior and exterior. I will absolutely be back.
If you want it done right go to The Works. Whether it's just to get your car really clean (not just washed) or to have some serious paint correction and/or polishing done these guys have the skills and the commitment to get the job done at a very high level. I won't take my car anywhere else in Boulder.
Very kind staff. I am proud of my 50yr old car & they made it look AMAZING!! Leo & his staff worked on it over the weekend so I could have it by Tuesday to take cross country on HotRod Power Tours 25th Anniversary! Can’t say enough good things about these guys & this place! Hard working, fair pricing & amazing results!
Highly recommended. I think my car looked better after they were done detailing it than it did 10 years ago when I drove it off the lot new. Fantastic attention to detail, and quality of work exceeded my expectations for the price. There was a minor issue in the detailing process, and Michael bent over backwards to make sure I left happy. ...
