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.
Quincy at The Works absolutely rocks. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. We had limited time in Boulder and were dropping off an older car for grandson. Highlights so pitted hard to see at night. The Works restored to new or better. Got us in which we appreciated. Only regret …we don’t live closer to have them detail all our cars (we...
After 4 years of sitting in the hot tropical sun, my car was beginning to show its age. Leo at The Works did a fantastic job of buffing out scratches, waxing and applying a beautiful vinyl wrap to the areas that were beyond repair. My car now looks fabulous again.
This is the only place I will allow to clean and polish my cars . Simply the best!
They did an amazing job. You wouldn't even know I have a kindergartner and two shedding dogs! This will be my go-to for every car detail going forward.
