PAINT Correction Explained

Paint correction-

Is an auto detailing procedure that removes minor to moderate scratches, swirl marks, and other imperfections, such as; paint transfer, hard water spots, etc. from a vehicle's clear coat.

Process-

The process involves using specialized machines and professional grade compounds & polishes to slowly treat microscopic layers of clear coat until the surface is smooth again. 

Benefits-

Paint correction can restore a car close its original appearance, help maintain the vehicle's value, and make the paint look glossy and mirror smooth.

Ceramic Coating Explained

What it is-

Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent or permanent treatment that's made of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and other additives. It's applied in liquid form and cures to create a hard, protective layer on top of the vehicle's paint. 

How it works-

The coating creates a hydrophobic layer that repels water, causing dirt and grime to bead up and slide off. It also protects against UV rays, corrosion, and oxidation. 

Benefits-

Ceramic coating can last for years, and it doesn't need to be applied as often as car wax because it bonds tightly to the vehicle's surface. It can also be applied to wheels, trim, and glass.
