What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a process of restoring and rejuvenating the paintwork of a vehicle to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other defects that may be present in the clear coat or top layer of the paint. This is typically done using a combination of machine polishing techniques, specialized tools, and professional-grade products.
The goal of paint correction is to improve the overall appearance of the vehicle by restoring its original shine and color depth. The process involves a series of steps that gradually remove the defects in the paint, starting with more aggressive compounds and pads and finishing with fine polishing compounds to achieve a high-gloss finish.
Benefits of DRIVE Auto Appearance Paint Correction Services:
1. Improved Appearance: Paint correction restores the shine and clarity of your car’s paint, making it look new again. The removal of swirl marks and scratches creates a deep, glossy finish that is pleasing to the eye.
2. Increased Resale Value: A car with flawless paintwork is more attractive to potential buyers, which can increase its resale value. Paint correction can help you get a higher price for your car when you decide to sell it.
3. Protection: Paint correction also helps to protect your car’s paintwork from further damage. By removing surface imperfections, it makes the surface of the paint smoother, which reduces the risk of dirt and debris getting trapped in the paint and causing further damage.
4. Longevity: Regular paint correction can help extend the life of your car’s paintwork. By removing imperfections and protecting the surface of the paint, you can help prevent oxidation and fading, which can lead to more serious damage over time.

What is Paint Correction?
Paint Correction is the process of leveling/removing swirl marks and scratches in the top layer of your paint’s finish.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
Paint correction is a combination of art and science. Because every car and owner is different our approach varies to address the specific problems. We use a variation of different levels of compound, polishing pads and machines to level/remove scratches and oxidation from the surface of the paint. Our approach is to determine which is the best and least invasive process of bringing the color back to your paint. After our compounding has removed the defects, we begin the polishing and “jeweling” process to bring the highest depth and gloss to the paint’s finish.
HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?
Unfortunately, paint correction is a process that must be quoted on a vehicle by vehicle basis. The time involved to do a proper correction will vary depending on the cause of the paint defects and the results you desire.
