This guide will help you learn everything you need about paint correction to be able to do the job yourself with great results. Let’s get started!
Paint correction refers to repairing or removing paint defects and returning them to their original state. You can do this by hand or using a machine. However, we recommend that you use a machine to get the best results. It is important to take your time when correcting paint.
Two main types of paint defects must be corrected: scratches and swirl marks. Poor washing techniques and incorrect drying can cause swirl marks. Swirl marks appear as small circular marks on the paint surface. They can be difficult to remove without damaging them. Scratches are caused by something touching the paint surface such as a key, or a rock. Scratches can occur in a variety of depths, but most can be removed with minimal damage to the paint if you are careful.
To perform paint correction, you must first wash your car to remove dirt and debris from the paint. You will need to carefully inspect the car after it is washed. This will allow you to find any flaws that need to correct. After identifying all defects, you can begin to correct them one at a time.
We recommend using a polishing agent and a machine polisher to remove swirl marks. You can start with a medium-grit material and then move up to a finer grit until you get rid of the swirl marks. You will need a sanding pad and coarse-grit sandpaper to remove scratches. You can gradually increase the grit until you no longer see any scratches.
After you have fixed all the problems, it is time to protect the paint from further damage. To protect the paint from the elements, we recommend using wax or sealant. This will keep your car’s paint shiny for many years!
