Professional Paint Correction and Paint Enhancement Services
At Moran’s Performance Detailing, we offer two levels of exterior care to rejuvenate your vehicle's paint: Paint Correction and Paint Enhancement. Both services are designed to remove imperfections and restore the shine and clarity of your car's finish. Whether you're dealing with deep scratches and swirl marks or just looking for a gloss boost, our expert detailing team will restore your vehicle’s exterior to like-new condition.
What is Paint Correction?
Paint Correction is a meticulous process that involves removing defects in your vehicle’s paint, such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots. Over time, your vehicle’s paint can become dull due to environmental factors and improper washing techniques. Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove a fine layer of the clear coat, eliminating surface imperfections and restoring the original shine and gloss.
Benefits of Paint Correction:
- Removes Deep Scratches and Swirl Marks: Paint correction effectively eliminates swirl marks, light scratches, and other surface imperfections.
- Restores Gloss and Clarity: By removing oxidation and defects, paint correction brings back the depth and brilliance of your vehicle’s finish.
- Prepares for Ceramic Coating: Paint correction is an ideal precursor to applying a ceramic coating, ensuring the surface is flawless and smooth for long-lasting protection.
- Increases Resale Value: A corrected, swirl-free paint job can significantly boost your vehicle’s market value by improving its appearance.
What is Paint Enhancement?
Paint Enhancement is a more affordable, single-step process that focuses on improving the overall gloss and shine of your vehicle’s paint. While it won’t remove deeper scratches and defects like paint correction, it’s ideal for vehicles with minor imperfections such as light swirl marks or surface dullness. Paint enhancement is perfect for newer vehicles or for those that don’t require extensive paintwork correction but still need a boost in appearance.
Benefits of Paint Enhancement:
- Improves Gloss and Shine: Paint enhancement restores the vehicle's gloss, leaving the paint with a fresh, reflective finish.
- Affordable Alternative: Compared to full paint correction, paint enhancement is a cost-effective option for those who want to improve their vehicle’s appearance without a significant investment.
- Quick Turnaround: Since it’s less intensive than paint correction, paint enhancement takes less time, making it a convenient option for minor paint imperfections.
Our Process
Whether you choose Paint Correction or Paint Enhancement, we follow a careful process to ensure your vehicle’s paint is treated with the utmost care:
- Thorough Wash and Decontamination: We start with a complete exterior wash, followed by a clay bar treatment to remove surface contaminants like dirt, sap, and embedded particles.
- Paint Inspection: We carefully inspect your vehicle’s paint to assess the level of damage and determine the appropriate level of correction or enhancement needed.
- Compounding and Polishing: For Paint Correction, we use a multi-step compounding and polishing process to remove imperfections. For Paint Enhancement, we use a one-step polish to remove light swirl marks and bring back the gloss.
- Final Polish and Protection: Once the correction or enhancement is complete, we apply a sealant or ceramic coating to lock in the shine and protect your vehicle’s paint from future damage.
Which Service is Right for You?
- Choose Paint Correction if your vehicle has visible swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, or other paint defects. Paint correction is a more intensive, multi-step process that removes deeper imperfections and restores the paint to a flawless finish.
- Choose Paint Enhancement if your vehicle has minor swirl marks, light oxidation, or you simply want to improve the gloss and shine. Paint enhancement is ideal for newer vehicles or those in good condition that need a cosmetic boost without extensive correction.
