Remove The Swirls and Get The Most Gloss and Clarity From Your Paint
The goal of paint correction is to remove swirls and imperfections so your car can shine. Depending on what you want, we can aim to remove 65% to 90% of the imperfection from your paint. This is where we do an intense cutting and polishing step, called a 2-step correction, to get the most gloss and clarity from your paintwork. (No sanding involved) - Ceramic Coating is the best way to protect your polished paint.
Some scratches or imperfections are far too deep to remove. This may be because of how deep the scratch is, the type of imperfection that it is, or maybe it’s unsafe to polish on a specific panel due to the clear coat being too thin.
This is where we’ll make the proper judgement call on what we can safely remove off your paint. It’s not just about removing as many imperfections. It’s also knowing when enough is enough to keep the integrity of the paint healthy and within good working boundaries.
We can spend 20 hours or 5 hours polishing your paint. It’s all just based on what you’d like to achieve.
Even New Vehicles Need Paint Correction
And yes, for newer vehicles, even if it’s just 4 months off the lot, the paint can still require a 2-step correction service. Although you’ve only had the vehicle for a few months, the car has been transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places).
It’s during this time that the car is moved, washed, transported, stored, etc… It’s no surprise that new vehicles, regardless of the make and model, leave the showroom with heavy amount of swirls and imperfections.
Paint correction is a commitment you’re making to the vehicle. If you’d like to keep your paint in great condition, you have to properly maintain the vehicle after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle, you can easily put all those swirls and scratches back into your paint in just a few washes.
This is the most tedious service for detailing. Depending on your vehicle, the condition of the paint, and the results you want, it can take between 8 to 15 hours of work to complete.
The No Limit Paint Correction Process
We’ve worked on all types of vehicles in all sorts of conditions. Whether it’s a Lamborghini that you want to preserve for many years or a new-to-you vehicle that you’d like to freshen up, we use the same process to deliver great results for any vehicle.
Here’s a general breakdown of what the service includes:
✅ Clean Wheels, Tires, & Fenders: Detail starts with a thorough cleaning of the wheel faces, wheel barrels, tires, and inner fender liner
✅ 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)
✅ Chemically Remove Iron Particles: To ensure a clean surface, we remove iron particles from your paint via a chemical decontamination
✅ 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).
✅ Tape Off Sensitive Areas: To decrease polish build up or staining, we’ll tape off and protect any trim/chrome/sensitive areas
✅ Step 1: Compound Phase (Correction): Safely remove a majority of the swirls and scratches from your paint with a machine polisher, cutting disc, and compound (no sanding is involved)
✅ Step 2: Polishing Phase (Polish): This will increase shine and clarity by polishing the micro-scratches that are leftover from the compound phase
✅ Paint Wipe Down: To inspect true condition, we’ll wipe down the paint to remove any leftover polish residue that can be hiding imperfections
✅ Apply Paint Protection: Based on your choice of protection, we’ll apply a wax, sealant, or a durable ceramic coating
✅ 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)
✅ Clean Exterior Windows & Mirrors: We’ll complete the detail with streak-free glass cleaning on all exterior surfaces
✅ Final Touch Ups: We’ll do a final inspection of all exterior surfaces and touch up any areas that need are attention
We’re not a high-volume car wash that gets cars in-and-out as fast as possible. So our process and the time it takes to complete is going to take much longer than what a volume car wash lot will tell you.
There’s been cars we’ve worked on that have taken three days to complete due to the size or condition of the vehicle. It’s a very tedious process and in order to deliver the best results, it takes time and effort.
