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.
A lot of people have great skills to make paint look good. Michael Tracy has a unique ability to see paint issues that you and I might not even be aware of and then fix them perfectly. His shop is the best I have encountered in my fifty year experience with cars. Only Dave DiMaria can see paint as well but Dave doesn't detail cars.
Amazing service and result. Got an exterior detailing. Car came out with that brand new car shine. They were accommodating with the rainy weather and very easy to reschedule with. 10/10 will be going back in several years when the cover coat's warranty ends.
First time getting my car detailed since I bought it used almost a year ago. I opted for the full The Works package with a 6-month ceramic coat. Quincy explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. The results are fantastic and I think my car looks better now than it did at the dealer! The quality and attention to detail are...
I should have taken before and after pics, these guys are wizards!
