How Does Paint Correction Work?

Paint correction removes defects (scratches, etching, oxidation, etc.) from your paint through different stages of machine polishing, creating a smooth leveled surface. Some people may refer to this process as buffing, cutting, or polishing.

The number of steps will vary depending on the paint's condition. You may have heard of 1 step, 2 step, and sometimes even 3 step paint corrections. All this represents the different stages of correction – compounding, polishing, and occasionally wet sanding. We understand that every car's paint is different, so we enjoy working with our customers to create a package that works with your budget and desired outcome.

With Striker Auto Detailing here in Thornton, CO, paint correction offers a practical and affordable alternative instead of repainting your car, paint correction takes only the outermost layer of clear coating and "corrects" it by removing microscopic abrasions and impurities, restoring the paint's gloss and shine.
