What is Paint Correction?
Dallas, TX Charge Mods
Paint correction is a detailed process that aims to restore a vehicle’s exterior paint. It involves carefully removing imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. Special tools and techniques are used to gently smooth the surface, enhancing the paint’s appearance and restoring its shine. This process can make a vehicle look as good as new.
Your Toolkit for Paint Correction
To assemble your paint correction toolkit and proceed with the process you will need: a dual action rotary polisher, polishes, compounds, and high quality polishing pads.
Polisher
In choosing a polisher, it’s essential to consider both quality and technology. Look for a polisher that utilizes a random action with pressure sensitivity. This feature helps prevent paint burning and ensures a smoother, easier job. Charge Mods recommends polishers from Rupes or Flex brands. For optimal results, use a larger polisher for larger surface areas and a smaller one for tighter spots.
Polishing Pads
Polishing pads are essential for the polisher’s function and should be replaced as they wear out over time, similar to sandpaper. Select the appropriate level of cut based on the number of paint correction steps you are undertaking. It’s important to match the polishing pads to your polisher. Charge Mods suggests using Rupes polishing and cutting pads for optimal results.
Cutting Compound and Polish
Cutting compounds and polishes are essential automotive detailing products used to eliminate imperfections like scratches and swirl marks from a vehicle’s paint surface. Cutting compounds are more abrasive, targeting deeper flaws, while polishes refine and enhance the paint, resulting in a smooth, glossy finish. Charge Mods suggests using Rupes or Koch Chemie compounds and polishes for optimal results.
Paint Correction Step-by-Step
Approximate Time: 12 – 18 hours
Complete your paint correction by following the steps below:
- Start by thoroughly detailing the vehicle to remove dirt and debris.
- Use a clay bar on the entire exterior to eliminate contaminants.
- Perform a thorough iron decontamination.
- Apply a small amount of compound to the pad.
- Polish a small section with your polisher, making multiple passes in different directions.
- Remove any excess compound with a clean, soft microfiber towel.
- Repeat steps 4-6 for the entire vehicle, and then repeat the entire process for each stage of your paint correction.
