Paint correction is a term that is now commonly used by both professional car detailers and car cleaning enthusiasts worldwide. It describes the process of restoring and rejuvenating the paintwork of a vehicle.

This process is nearly always carried out using machine polishers (Rotary or Dual action) to effectively eliminate imperfections within the surface of the vehicle’s paintwork/Clearcoat. These surface imperfections can dull, oxidize, or haze the surface by reflecting light off in various directions, leading to a loss of colour, depth, and gloss.

These imperfections can include things like swirl marks inflicted by poor wash technique, light scratches, etching from bird droppings & chemicals such as acid rain, holograms & buffer trails mainly due to improper machine polishing techniques, and random isolated deep scratches.
