A Step-By-Step of the Paint Correction Packages at F.S. Detail

Full Paint Decontamination

The first step in our paint correction process is to make sure your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned so we are ultimately only putting energy in the cutting, buffing, and polishing process. Decontaminating your entire exterior with a full exterior detailing service, your automobile will look like new before we closely inspect its condition. This allows us to see and become aware of any defects anywhere on your clear coat.

LED Light Inspection

As mentioned, keeping your exterior completely clean minimizes the distractions that may hide swirl marks, nicks, scrapes, or stains in your finish. Once your vehicle is fully cleaned and free of any residual contamination, we are able to begin our full inspection. Using powerful LED lights in our San Diego, California detailing shop, we inspect your automobile’s paintwork in full, noting what defects may prove to be more of an obstacle than others.

Abrasion to Remove Defects

The next part of the process is inspecting your vehicles defects and discrepancies. We then begin the removing of said defects by cutting into them with our specialized compounds. We then take a light abrasion method to smooth out the surface of your ride’s clear coat, effectively eliminating all mild defects that include swirl marks, scrapes, nicks, and other issues that muddle the clarity of your automobile’s paintwork. 

Polishing to Finish

Finally, your clear coat needs to be polished to restore glossiness after cutting. Polishing will get rid of any haze left behind by the compounds we use in the cutting phase of our paint correction packages here at F.S. Detail. This allows the true shine of your paintwork to look consistent and become more prominent, while also effectively removing any last trace of defects or discrepancies. Once the polishing is complete, you will be looking at a nice, glossy automobile!

Automotive Paint Correction and Restoration FAQs

  • Why exactly is automotive paint correction necessary to vehicle value?

    If you are buying anything, you naturally check that it is not defective in any way before the purchase. Double goes for the purchase of a vehicle based on both the cost and the image it gives off. If you want to get the most for your automobile at the time of resale, restorative auto paint correction services are a direct way to ensure that you get top dollar for what you drive!

  • If paint correction uses abrasion, will it damage my ride’s finish?

    Defects and discrepancies are small divots in your clear coat. The abrasion process of our paint correction packages is delicate, sanding down defects to make your clear coat level yet again. This comes down to a matter of millimeters to even out the affected area, which when done by a pro detailer, will NOT damage anything about your finish. However, you will only be able to have this service done once or twice, so consider a paint protection package following it!

  • What steps should I take to maintain my paintwork following paint correction?

    The simplest way to maintain your paintwork is to consider the installation of an IGL Ceramic Coating or Artdeshine Graphene Coating here at F.S. Detail! Protecting your car from stains and degradation due to extensive UV ray exposure, ceramic coatings are easily maintained paint protection packages built to preserve the condition of your car, truck, or SUV’s beautiful finish.

  • Will my paint correction process take a long time?

    F.S. Detail’s paint correction process is not only affordable and effective, but quick as well! We have two dynamic levels of automotive paint correction, and depending on what your vehicle may require at the time of its inspection, all we will need is a few days at most.
