THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF PAINT CORRECTION

Vehicles keep us protected while we drive on highways, back roads, and city streets. However, they naturally collect defects in their clear coats as a result. Instead of letting your ride sustain a dull, worn-out appearance, book paint correction services with Radiant Detailing to set your finish on a path to success. Addressing these surface imperfections and bringing your vehicle’s finish back to life, Radiant Detailing helps all age, make, and model vehicles look brand new. Our tailored paint correction approach has three levels, depending on the extent of resurfacing needed. From light swirl marks and scrapes to nicks and more, paint correction is a critical aspect to ensure your vehicle gets a better look.

Benefits You Can Expect from Paint Correction

Removes Paint Defects 

The removal of mild to moderate paint defects and other surface imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat is an obvious benefit of paint correction. Defects accumulate from everyday driving, exposure to road hazards, and even environmental factors that you cannot control. Through professional paint correction at Radiant Detailing, these scratches are buffed out using specialized techniques and the high-level of equipment that we use to even out each painted surface. The result is a finish that is fully enhanced.

Increases the Value of Your Vehicle 

Whether you are planning to sell your vehicle or keep it as an asset, paint correction at Radiant Detailing is one of the best investments you can make to increase its value overall. A vehicle with a shiny, defect-free finish will always attract more buyers for those looking to sell. When prospective buyers see that your vehicle’s exterior is in top condition, it signals that the vehicle has been well-maintained overall. Their confidence gets boosted and likewise, your money goes up. Paint correction helps you get the best possible return on your investment in the long run!

Ideal Before Getting a Ceramic Coating or PPF 

Looking to add a ceramic coating to your paint? Want to wrap your vehicle in paint protection film? You need paint correction first! Paint correction is such a crucial step before applying ceramic coatings or paint protection film because of how it corrects the look of your finish. Ceramic coatings and PPF work best when applied to a clean, defect-free clear coat surface. Without paint correction, any scratches, scrapes, swirls, or defects will still be visible underneath these investments. Ceramic coatings will actually enhance the look of those defects without having them removed. By addressing these issues first, Radiant Detailing ensures that your vehicle is fully prepared for these packages.

PAINT CORRECTION FAQS AND ANSWERS

  • Is paint correction only for extremely old and used vehicles?

    Not at all! This is a common misconception, actually. Paint correction at Radiant Detailing is beneficial for both new and old vehicles of all makes and models. New vehicles have likely accumulated minor imperfections during transport, while sitting on the lot, during dealership prep, or even in the early stages of ownership. These can include swirl marks from improper washing techniques or minor scuffs caused by road debris. Our paint correction services ensure that both new and older vehicles end up looking their best.

  • What types of defects will be removed during paint correction?

    Paint correction focuses on removing surface-level defects in your clear coat alone. These are quite common and include swirl marks, light scratches, scrapes, nicks, certain levels of surface oxidation, stains from environmental contamination exposure, and other minor imperfections. Radiant Detailing’s process involves using specialized polishing compounds and techniques to eliminate these defects and bring out the true depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paint. Paint correction is not a method for repairing deep gouges, paint chips, or major surface damage.

  • Is paint correction safe for my vehicle’s paint?

    Yes it is! With us, you can guarantee that paint correction is safe for your vehicle and will be done properly. Radiant Detailing uses the appropriate techniques, correction levels, pads, and cutting compounds to ensure that your vehicle’s paint is treated with care. Paint correction involves carefully removing a very fine layer of the clear coat to level out imperfections without damaging the integrity of the paint itself. We also do not do anything to the actual painted surface during this process, only the clear coat. Radiant Detailing is skilled at maintaining the balance between correction and enhancement.
