Common Questions About Auto Paint Correction - Answered

  • What is the most severe defect fixed by paint correction?

    Because paint correction is actually a process that removes defects from your vehicle’s clear coat and not the paint itself, general surface scratches that have not broken through to the paint are the most severe defects that can be corrected. However, we can also correct swirl marks, stains, micro-marring, and etching to give your vehicle a leg up in more ways than one! For chips in your paintwork, we have a specialty add-on exterior detailing service that will effectively correct those errors; however, heavy body damage is not something we remedy.

  • Is there a way to avoid future paint stains?

    Paint correction is usually only a one-time-only fix and is not recommended to be performed repeatedly like interior or exterior detailing. Therefore, avoiding future surface stains or fading caused by UV degradation is something that can be accomplished with the installation of a SB3 Ceramic Coating package right here at Shining Rides Detailing! We do our best to prepare your vehicle for an adequate defense against whatever daily driving in Plum, Pennsylvania may throw at it.

  • What about correcting new automobiles?

    While you may not think about it, even brand new vehicles can have defects in their clear coats left behind by hazards or debris they experienced at the dealership. Whether it is light scratching, clear coat scrapes, stains from acid rain, or swirls from abrasive scrubbing, paint correction will eliminate them and thus improve the gloss and clarity of your new automobile’s finish. We are not an auto detailing shop only suited for the worn and torn automobiles - All are welcome with our paint correction packages.

  • Can you explain the paint correction process?

    Essentially, our automotive paint correction process begins by cutting the surface of your clear coat using compounds and light abrasion. This levels the clear coat so all defects disappear. Then, we buff the surface to both eliminate any haze left behind during the cutting phase and make it nice and smooth in the area where the defect previously was. Finally, we polish the surface to exceed the gloss and shine that your automobile had previously, also removing any remaining defects.

With Paint Correction, You Get These Great Benefits…

Elimination of Light Defects

The primary reason people have a paint correction performed is because of the defects that collect in their vehicle’s finish. What falls under the category of light surface defects includes, but is not limited to, swirl marks from abrasive washing techniques, etching caused by acid rain here in Plum, Pennsylvania, micro-marring, and light scratches from hazards and debris. You would be surprised how these discrepancies cloud your vehicle’s paint clarity!

Full Paint Gloss Restoration

Over time, your vehicle loses both gloss and shine, whether it be due to extensive exposure to ultraviolet rays or from general wear and tear on daily commutes. Professional auto paint correction here at Shining Rides Detailing revitalizes that gloss and surface shine, making your vehicle look brand new! Given this elevated level of gloss, we encourage our customers to consider a professional-grade SB3 Ceramic Coating thereafter to maintain this shine.

Environmental Stain Removal

If you have never had a ceramic coating applied to your finish, it is likely that your finish has experienced some level of paint stains or marks from the likes of bug splatters, tree sap, and bird droppings. Paint correction is how we get rid of any surface stain present on your vehicle’s paintwork. Cutting the clear coat as we do for removing swirls, scratches, and nicks, we remove a very thin layer that contains the stain.
