A flawless paint job significantly enhances your vehicle’s visual appeal and value. However, various paint defects like swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches can mar your car’s appearance. At Kleentech Detailing, we specialize in paint correction services to restore your car’s paint to its original condition. In this article, we’ll discuss the different paint correction techniques we use to address these issues.
Paint Correction Techniques
1. Wet Sanding
Wet sanding is a technique used to remove deep scratches, oxidation, and other severe paint defects that cannot be addressed through compounding or polishing alone. This process involves using a fine-grit sandpaper soaked in water to gently remove a thin layer of the clear coat, smoothing out the surface and eliminating imperfections. Wet sanding requires a high level of skill and expertise, as improper sanding can cause irreversible damage to your vehicle’s paint.
2. Compounding
Compounding is a process that uses a cutting compound and a rotary buffer to remove a thin layer of the clear coat, along with the paint defects. This technique effectively addresses moderate paint imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. However, compounding can leave minor holograms or buffer trails on the paint surface, which can be further refined through polishing.
3. Polishing
Polishing is the final step in the paint correction process, which aims to refine the paint surface and enhance its gloss. This technique uses a less abrasive compound and a dual-action polisher to eliminate minor imperfections, like holograms or buffer trails left by compounding. Polishing not only improves the paint’s appearance but also helps prepare the surface for the application of a ceramic coating or wax sealant to protect and prolong the paint’s lifespan.
