Paint Polishing & Correction in Fresno, Ca

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is the process of permanently removing surface scratches, swirl marks, hazing, marring, and other imperfections in your vehicle’s paint. It’s a powerful way to bring the color back to its original shine! Vehicles these days often have a primer coat of paint, then a base coat, sometimes an additional metallic flake or pearl coat, and then a clear top coat. It’s that top coat that needs the most TLC. During the paint correction process, we’re shaving microns of thickness off that top clear coat, to make it as smooth as possible. This service usually removes 80-90% of imperfections. After a paint Enhancement is performed we apply some sort of paint protection such as a paint sealant or a long term Ceramic coating to protect the paint for months to years to come.

In some cases this service can remove light water spots or etching from bird droppings or bugs. This service usually removes around 50-60% of defects.
