You have likely experienced this moment: You wash your vehicle, step back to admire it in the sunlight, and instead of a deep, flawless reflection, you see a spiderweb of fine scratches and haze. These are "swirl marks," and they are the primary barrier between your car and true automotive perfection.
At Major Detailz, we specialize in Paint Correction—a meticulous process that goes far beyond a standard "buff and wax." It is the art of permanently restoring your vehicle’s clear coat to reveal a finish that is often better than factory condition.
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the mechanical leveling of clear coat to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, and etching. Unlike glazing or waxing, which merely fill or hide these defects temporarily, paint correction removes them entirely.
By using specialized machines, abrasive compounds, and polishing pads, we safely remove a microscopic layer of clear coat. This smooths the surface, allowing light to reflect directly off the paint without scattering. The result is a deep, liquid gloss that defines a truly luxury finish.
The Difference Between "Polishing" and "Correction"
Many car washes offer a quick polish, but true correction requires a master craftsman's touch. We generally categorize this service into two levels:
- 1-Step Enhancement: A lighter polish designed to remove 50-70% of light swirls and haze. This significantly boosts gloss and is perfect for newer vehicles.
- 2-Step Correction: A more intensive process involving a heavy "cutting" stage to remove deep defects, followed by a refining polish. This aims to remove 85-95% of imperfections for a mirror-like surface.
Why is this Essential Before Ceramic Coating?
We often refer to paint correction as the "foundation" of vehicle protection. Because Ceramic Coatings form a permanent bond with your paint, they are transparent and will lock in whatever condition is underneath.
If you coat a scratched vehicle, you are effectively sealing those scratches in for years. By correcting the paint first, we ensure that the coating protects a flawless surface, maximizing the visual impact of your investment.
Is Paint Correction Safe for My Car?
Yes, when performed by experts. We utilize precision tools to measure paint depth, ensuring we leave ample clear coat for the future integrity of the paint system. We treat every vehicle with the utmost care, understanding that we are preserving a high-value asset.
