Paint Correction
What is Auto Paint Correction?
Auto paint correction is a meticulous process that uses specialized polishes and compounds to remove imperfections from your vehicle’s paint surface. This includes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other blemishes in the clear coat. By carefully leveling the paint, we restore depth, clarity, and a flawless, mirror-like finish, enhancing both the look and value of your vehicle.
What Does Paint Correction Do?
Paint correction restores and revitalizes your vehicle’s finish by removing surface imperfections such as swirl marks, oxidation, and haze, all of which scatter light and diminish shine. By eliminating these defects, the surface reflects light evenly, revealing a deeper gloss and more vibrant color.
At I&D Detailing, we offer multiple levels of paint correction, from a basic one-step to a full three-step process. Each option is designed to significantly improve gloss and clarity, ensuring your vehicle turns heads wherever you go. Every paint correction package also includes a complete exterior clay treatment for a smooth, contaminant-free surface.
