How does Paint Correction and Paint Enhancement Work?

Paint Correction and paint enhancement are very similar to sanding, we are removing defects form a surfaces at a much smaller level. Polish, which is what is used during paint correction and paint enhancement, is a liquid that contains mini abrasives. These abrasives can be compared to a super fine grit of sandpaper. During paint correction and paint enhancement, these abrasives take minimal amounts of clearcoats away to remove defects from your paint. Ultimately your car is left with a beautiful shine and smooth surface that is perfect for the bonding of a Ceramic Coat.

What is Paint Enhancement?

The simple answer: Paint enhancement is a form of paint correction that is less aggressive and extreme. The goal of paint enhancement is not to remove all imperfections, but instead surface scratches and defects. We cannot express enough that all imperfections WILL NOT be fixed. Because we are only removing a surface level of imperfections when performing paint enhancement, we go over the car one time with a finer polish and pad combo.

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is nothing more than aggressive paint enhancement. Can you see the pattern here? Paint correction is performed when we encounter REALLY DAMAGED paint or a customer who has a detailed eye. Maximum amounts of scratches, swirls, etchings, and paint imperfections are taken care of during paint correction. Because paint correction is performed when we are dealing with severe cases, it may require 2 passes with our polisher on the entire car. Paint correction requires us to take more clearcoat of the car compared to paint enhancement, that is why paint correction can be a 2-step polishing process but there are times when it is still a 1-step polishing process.

What is the difference between Paint Correction and Paint Enhancement?

The terms paint correction and paint enhancement are often run together, however, there is a difference between the two. Paint correction is a more extreme version of paint enhancement. During paint correction, the type of polish and pads that are used have more of a bite. This is to remove deeper scratches and defects from your paint. Paint enhancement on the other hand requires pads and polish with less bite. That is because during paint enhancement we remove very surface-level defects such as swirls.

Paint Correction vs. Paint Enhancement, which is right for me?

Paint correction vs. paint enhancement, for the most part, is determined by the type of ceramic coating you plan on putting on your vehicle. Individuals who plan to apply at shorter duration ceramic coating, such as 3 years, tend to migrate towards paint enhancement. As you creep up towards the longer lasting ceramic coatings (6-10 year), we see a trend in customers moving towards a more aggressive paint enhancement and into a paint correction. These tendencies help consumers meet their budgets, all while bringing their car back to life with a super durable protection. This, however, does not mean you have to get a ceramic coating to get your vehicle polished. If that is not your plan, then you simply get to decide the level of polishing you want done to reach your desired look.
