Paint correction defined
Paint correction is the process of leveling the clear coat with machine polishers and abrasive compounds to remove defects like swirl marks, holograms, water spots, oxidation and light scratches.
Signs you need it
Look at your car under direct sun or a flashlight. If you see circular spiderwebs, hazy patches or dull, faded areas, correction will restore clarity. Dark colors show defects the most.
One-stage vs. multi-stage
A one-stage polish removes roughly half to two-thirds of defects and dramatically boosts gloss. Two- and three-stage corrections use a heavier compound first, then refine with a finishing polish, achieving near-perfect results.
Protect the results
Correction removes defects but doesn't prevent new ones. Follow it with a sealant or ceramic coating and safe washing habits.
