Paint Correction

Factory paint needs precision corrective treatment to bring out the full luster and impact of your color. Amazing Detailing paint correction removes defects and delivers a better-than-factory appearance.

Amazing Detailing Paint Correction

  • Utilizes a machine process with dual-action orbitals that safely remove light to medium defects on painted surfaces.

  • Can enhance all new and older paints and finishes.

  • Uses the least-aggressive process to correct swirls, scratches and light etching.

  • Is the basis for a pristine finish prior to a protective coating.

  • Dramatically enhances the appearance of all painted and coated surfaces.

Single-Stage

One stage of machine polishing (also referred to as one-step polishing). While not considered a perfection detail given the single-stage process, a big transformation in the condition of the paint can be achieved. On softer paints, we can usually remove 50–80% of all swirls, haze, and light defects, whereas on harder paints, this could be 40–60%. There is no one system or product that works for all vehicles, and we tailor each vehicle accordingly.

  • Single Stage Paint Correction is performed using a dual-action (D/A) random orbital and polish. Extensive testing goes into each car to identify the optimal combination that will deliver the highest-quality results.
  • 8–10 hours of polishing

Multi-Stage

When you step up to multi-stage paint correction, you significantly improve the finish by removing all of the swirls and all but the heaviest scratches and defects. This process starts with a heavy compounding machine polishing stage to remove defects, followed by a secondary polishing stage to refine the finish and increase gloss and clarity. On most cars, this process will get rid of 85–95% of all defects—getting very close to that of a brand new vehicle without the expense of a re-paint.

  • Multi-Stage Paint Correction is performed using a D/A random orbital, compound, and polish. Extensive testing goes into each car to identify the optimal combination that will deliver the highest-quality results. All painted surfaces will be metered for depth to ensure adequate and safe thicknesses prior to polishing.
  • 15+ hours of polishing

Our Paint Correction Process

At Amazing Detailing, we approach paint correction as a preservation service—not a race to remove as much clear coat as possible. We always take the least aggressive method necessary to achieve your goals, and we never forget the importance of protecting what remains. It is not just about knowing how to effectively correct paint. You also need to know when to stop and not remove too much clear coat in the process. Every vehicle is inspected under controlled lighting, tested with the appropriate polish combination, and corrected with methodology that prioritizes long-term finish health. To get a better idea of the type of work we do and the kinds of vehicles we are used to working with, watch the overview below.
