Paint Correction & Enhancement
One step paint enhancement
A one-step paint correction is a detailing process that involves a single stage of polishing to improve the appearance of a vehicle's paintwork. This process typically aims to remove light to moderate imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches, and minor oxidation, while enhancing gloss and clarity.

Two step paint correction
A two-step paint correction is a detailing process that involves two stages of polishing to improve the appearance of a vehicle's paintwork. This process is more intensive than a one-step correction and is typically used to address moderate to severe paint imperfections while enhancing gloss and clarity.
A two-step paint correction process offers a more thorough and comprehensive approach compared to one-step correction, making it suitable for vehicles with moderate to severe paint imperfections. While it requires more time and expertise, the outcome is a significantly improved appearance with enhanced gloss, depth, and clarity. Consulting with a professional detailing specialist can help determine whether a two-step correction is the right option for your vehicle's needs

Here's an overview of the two-step paint correction process
First Stage - Compounding
The first stage involves using a cutting or compounding polish along with a more aggressive polishing pad.
This stage aims to remove deeper imperfections such as heavy swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation.
The compound polish works by leveling the surface of the paint, removing a thin layer of clear coat to eliminate imperfections.
Second Stage - Polishing
After completing the compounding stage, the second stage involves using a finer polishing polish along with a softer polishing pad.
This stage refines the paintwork further, removing any remaining fine scratches and haze left from the compounding stage.
The polishing polish helps to restore clarity, depth, and gloss to the paint, leaving a smooth and highly reflective finish.
Inspection
Throughout the process, the paintwork is inspected regularly under proper lighting conditions to assess the progress and ensure that the desired level of correction is achieved.
Any areas requiring additional attention or refinement may be
addressed during this stage.
Protection
Once the two-step correction is complete, a protective coating such as a sealant or ceramic coating may be applied to the paintwork to enhance gloss and provide long-lasting protection against environmental elements.
Final Touches
Any remaining residue or polish residue is removed, and final touches are made to ensure a clean and polished finish.
