Remove The Swirls and Get The Most Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
Paint correction aims to eliminate swirls and imperfections, allowing your car to truly shine. Depending on your preferences, we can remove between 65% and 90% of imperfections through a comprehensive two-step cutting and polishing process, maximizing the gloss and clarity of your paintwork.
However, it’s important to note that some scratches and imperfections may remain. This could be due to the depth of the scratch, the nature of the imperfection, or safety concerns regarding polishing on panels with a low clear coat.
We carefully assess what can be safely removed while preserving the integrity of your paint. It’s not just about eliminating flaws; it's also about knowing when to stop to keep the paint healthy.
The time spent on polishing can vary from 5 to 20 hours, depending on your desired results. Even newer vehicles—those just a few months old—may still benefit from a two-step correction service.
Although your car is relatively new, it has been handled and transported multiple times before reaching you, which can lead to swirls and imperfections.
This transportation, combined with regular washing and storage, means that even brand-new cars often leave the showroom with noticeable flaws.
Paint correction is a commitment to your vehicle. To maintain your paint’s excellent condition post-service, proper washing and drying techniques are essential. Without these, you risk reintroducing swirls and scratches within just a few washes.
This process is one of the most meticulous detailing services we offer. Depending on your vehicle’s condition and your desired outcome, it can take between 8 to 12 hours to complete.
The KBC Paint Correction Process
1.) Clean Wheels, Tires, & Fenders
Detail starts with a thorough cleaning of the wheel faces, wheel barrels, tires, and inner fender liner
7.) Step 2: Polishing Phase (Polish)
This will increase shine and clarity by polishing the micro-scratches that are leftover from the compound phase
2.) Gentle Foam Hand Wash
Vehicle gets a thick layer of foam and a gentle hand wash (while we clean the jambs, gas cap, and remove bugs from paint)
8.) Paint Wipe Down
To inspect true condition, we'll wipe down the paint to remove any leftover polish residue that can be hiding imperfections
3.) Chemically Remove Iron Particles
To ensure a clean surface, we remove iron particles from your paint via a chemical decontamination
9.) Apply Paint Protection
Based on your choice of protection, we'll apply a wax, sealant, or a durable ceramic coating
4.) Clay Bar Treatment
The next step to a clean surface is a clay bar treatment to remove any remaining embedded dirt and debris (your paint will feel really smooth).
10.) Dress Tires, Plastic & Trim
To give the exterior an extra pop, most of the exterior plastic and trim will be dressed to an even black finish like the tires, fenders, and trim (it will not be greasy)
5.) Tape Off Sensitive Areas
To decrease polish build up or staining, we'll tape off and protect any trim/chrome/sensitive areas
11.) Clean Exterior Windows & Mirrors
We'll complete the detail with streak-free glass cleaning on all exterior surfaces
6.) Step 1: Compound Phase (Correction)
Safely remove a majority of the swirls and scratches from your paint with a machine polisher, and compound
