Common Questions About Paint Correction - Answered

  • What are the benefits of paint correction?

    Having paint correction done on your vehicle offers multiple benefits. It significantly boosts the resale value of your vehicle by making it look more appealing to potential buyers and by keeping the condition of its paint in shape. The paint correction process also increases the longevity of the paint, ensuring it stays vibrant in color while you own it. By removing swirl marks and other defects, paint correction brings the vehicle's exterior back to look as good as new.

  • What types of paint defects will be removed?

    Paint correction at McMinnville Auto Detail is designed to remove various types of defects from a vehicle's paint. This includes swirl marks, which are fine scratches that create a pattern, often caused by improper washing techniques. Minor scratches are also removed, which are more noticeable and caused by abrasive hazards. Oxidation, a form of paint fading due to sun exposure, can be eliminated, bringing back the paint's original color and shine. Lastly, paint correction eliminates stains from bird droppings or tree sap, which can permanently damage the paint if not treated promptly.

  • Is paint correction only for worn or damaged vehicles?

    Paint correction is not only for older vehicles! While older vehicles may show clearer signs of needing paint correction, even new vehicles can greatly benefit from this service. Even new vehicles can have paint imperfections from the dealership, like fine scratches or swirl marks. These minor flaws can detract from the vehicle's overall appearance. By undergoing paint correction, a newer vehicle can achieve a higher level of shine and perfection, often better than when it was first purchased.

Our Paint Correction Process

Vehicle Wash and Assessment

The first step in defect removal at McMinnville Auto Detail involves a comprehensive wash. We provide all our customers with our Standard Exterior Detail package, which focuses on removing any dirt, debris, and contaminants from the surface of your paint. This ensures a clean slate for the paint correction process and allows for a more effective treatment of the paint's imperfections. We will be able to see them all as plainly as possible after the hand wash we perform. Following the wash, McMinnville Auto Detail will do a thorough assessment of your vehicle's paint condition to give you a final estimate.

Multi-Stage Paint Correction

Depending on the package you select, we at McMinnville Auto Detail proceeds with a various stage paint correction process. For vehicles with less intense defects, you will receive a simple one-step polishing process to create a glossier finish. More elaborate paint defects require a multi-stage paint correction effort, involving using a series of cutting, buffing, and polishing work. This starts with a more abrasive pad and compound and moves gradually to finer polishes to finish the job. Our higher level paint correction process also includes wet sanding where needed on the vehicle. Each stage is carefully executed to remove deeper scratches and imperfections first, then moving on to eliminate finer scratches and swirl marks.

Final Inspection and Sealant

The final step in the paint correction process at McMinnville Auto Detail includes a detailed inspection to ensure all imperfections have been effectively treated. Once the vehicle passes this inspection, we then provide your vehicle a protective sealant to keep its paint clean and quality for weeks to follow. The sealant not only adds a temporary layer of defense but also enhances the paint's gloss, giving the vehicle a stunning, showroom-quality finish. Consider upgrading to a paint protection film for true defect prevention.
