Choosing between an Enhancement and a correction…

Paint enhancement

  • Vehicles with light paint imperfections that haven't deeply penetrated the clear coat. This service is perfect if your car has:

    • Minor swirl marks

    • Light oxidation

    • Fine scratches that are not felt with a fingernail

    • A dull finish that needs enhancing

    • Restores shine and gloss to the paint

    • Removes light surface imperfections

    • Less time-consuming and more cost-effective than a full Paint Correction

    • Suitable for newer vehicles or well-maintained paintwork requiring minimal correction

    • May not fully remove deeper scratches or defects

    • Not suitable for cars with severe oxidation or paint damage


Paint Correction

  • Vehicles with moderate to heavy paint imperfections, including those that have gone through years of wear and tear without proper maintenance. Opt for this service if your car has:

    • Deep swirl marks and scratches that can be felt with a fingernail

    • Severe oxidation and faded paint

    • Etching from bird droppings, tree sap, or water spots that doesn't come off with regular washing

    • Paint that looks dull and lacks depth even after a wash

    • Significantly improves the vehicle's appearance by restoring depth, gloss, and clarity to the paint

    • Removes a wide range of imperfections, including deeper scratches and swirls

    • Prolongs the life of the paint by removing more substantial defects that can worsen over time

    • More time-consuming and costlier due to the extensive work involved

    • May not be necessary for newer vehicles or those with minimal imperfections


When Making Your Decision

  • Carefully inspect your vehicle's paint under good lighting. Look for the depth and extent of the imperfections.

  • A paint enhancement is perfect if you’re selling the car or just want a noticeable boost in shine and depth without going all in.

    Paint correction is a more time-intensive process that costs more but delivers near-flawless results. It’s the best choice if you have a high-value vehicle and want it looking its absolute best long-term

  • Balance your budget with your expectations for the finish. If you seek perfection and your vehicle has significant imperfections, a correction is likely the better choice.

What can be buffed out

  • Fine scratches in the paint that usually result from washing or drying with dirty cloths.

  • Light scratches that haven’t penetrated the clear coat, as well as paint transfer from poles or other objects, can be effectively removed to restore your vehicle’s finish.

  • Dullness and fading of the paint due to exposure to the sun and elements.

  • Shallow etching caused by mineral deposits from water that can be polished out.

  • A dull haze on the paint surface often caused by improper washing or previous abrasive detailing.

What can’t be buffed out

  • Small areas where rocks or debris have removed the paint entirely.

  • Scratches that penetrate through the clear coat and into the paint or primer cannot be fully removed with paint correction and may require touch-up paint or repainting.

  • Heavy oxidation where the clear coat has failed completely, often requiring a repaint.

  • Water spots that have accumulated over several years can cause permanent damage as the minerals deeply etch into the clear coat. In such cases, simple polishing may not suffice; more intensive measures like wet sanding or reapplying the clear coat may be necessary to restore the paint's integrity.
