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.
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...
The Works did an AMAZING job on interior and exterior detailing of our Mercedes and Santa Fe. After the Marshall Fire we wanted our vehicles deep cleaned and they went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Especially in the Santa Fe--that's our adventure SUV and we always have the kids and dogs in there. It's typically full of...
I took my kids high school car to them to get that high school smell out of it. They did such a good job, I am taking all my cars here. 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...
Highly recommend! Employees and the owner are professional and hard working. My car was cleaner after it’s wash at the works than it was when I bought it. Won’t take my car any other place for a wash. Looking forward to using other services from them in the future!
