LET’S TALK PAINT CORRECTION
Process reference · Zac Nielson / UnsplashInspect first.
Then refine.
A glossy finish is about how light meets the surface. The right combination of compounding and polishing can improve clarity, without chasing defects the paint can’t safely give up.
- Swirl & haze assessment
- Compounding where appropriate
- Polishing for clarity & gloss
COMPOUND & POLISH
The work.
Compound
Where appropriate, a cutting stage reduces the appearance of correctable defects in the clear coat.
Polish
A refining stage improves clarity and gloss. The process is matched to the condition of the paint.
Good to know.
Will every scratch disappear?+
Not every scratch can be safely removed. Deep scratches, chips, and damage through the clear coat may need refinishing. We’ll discuss realistic expectations after an assessment.
What’s the difference between compound and polish?+
Compounding generally removes more material to address defects. Polishing is a finer stage used to refine clarity and gloss. Your paint condition determines what is appropriate.
Should I choose detailing or paint correction?+
Choose detailing for cleaning and refreshing the vehicle. Choose paint correction if swirls, haze, or light scratches are your main concern. If you’re unsure, tell us what you’re seeing.
