What is Paint Correction?
Do you stop and look at your car and notice a bunch of scratches that look like spider webs and you realize your car paint is not as shiny as it once was? These are micro scratches and oxidation that are inevitably created over time. It usually happens much faster by improper car washing and drying techniques and a lack of durable protection on the paint. The end result is your paints inability to show its original glossy finish. BUT, it can be fixed by a highly skilled paint correction specialist with the use of a polishing machine. The specialist will level the surface of the paints clear coat until there is no more scratches and oxidation left. The end result will reveal the car paints beautiful finish. BUT, if you want this paint correction to last, you must seal it with a long term durable permanent ceramic coating.
