The cost of paint correction can vary depending on the level of correction required and the size of the vehicle. While it may be more expensive than a basic detailing job, the results can be well worth the cost, as it can greatly enhance the appearance and protection of the vehicle’s paint finish. Additionally, a well-done paint correction can increase the resale value of the vehicle.
The length of time that paint correction lasts depends on several factors, such as the quality of the products used, how the vehicle is maintained after the correction, and the driving conditions the vehicle is exposed to. In general, a properly done paint correction can last for several years.
When done correctly by a professional detailer, paint correction should not damage the paint. However, if done improperly, it is possible to remove too much clear coat, leaving the paint vulnerable to damage.
While there are DIY kits available for minor paint imperfections, professional paint correction offers superior results and minimizes the risk of damage. Trained technicians have the expertise, specialized tools, and premium products necessary to achieve flawless outcomes.

While it is possible to do paint correction by hand, it is much more time-consuming and less effective than using specialized tools and equipment. Professional detailers typically use a combination of machine polishers and abrasive compounds to achieve the best results.
Detailing is a more general term that refers to the cleaning, polishing, and protecting of a vehicle’s exterior and interior surfaces. Paint correction is a specific process within detailing that involves removing imperfections from the paint finish.
We get this all the time. We usually get the vehicle with a bunch of holograms in the paint and wax all in the emblems and honeycomb areas. This is clear signs of an inexperienced detailer with a rotary and a wool pad and with too much compound or polish, and not properly trim masking around vehicle prior to polishing.
No, paint correction should not remove the clear coat from your vehicle. Paint correction is a process of removing a very thin layer of clear coat, or paint, from the surface of your car to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation. However, if done correctly and with the proper tools and techniques, it should not remove more than a small fraction of the clear coat.
It’s important to note that if the clear coat is already very thin or damaged, then paint correction may not be the best solution, as it could potentially remove too much of the clear coat and cause further damage. In such cases, it’s important to consult a professional detailer or automotive paint specialist for guidance on the best course of action.
