PAINT CORRECTION AT AUTO CONCIERGE HAWAII

---

What is paint correction?

​

To most Auto Detail Shops this is simply referred as "buffing the paint". The reality is, Paint Correction is a lot more then just taking a high speed polisher and rubbing against the paint work. It sounds really simple, but in reality its a lot more complicated...True Paint Correction is an art, and Auto Concierge Hawaii has mastered after years of training.

This process will bring back the paint of your vehicle to better then new condition by removing swirl marks, oxidation, water stains, light scratches and other imperfections. A proper paint correction can take several hours to several days to complete. 

In order to perform the right paint correction the technician must first understand the type paint of your car. Single or dual Stage paint, Ceramic or Regular Clear Coat, the hardening level, heat resistance and so on. Then it comes the job itself, based on the type of paint, which tools to use, type of polishing pads, types of compounds, what speed to run the machine for what purpose. 

The video above shows a 1984 Porsche 944 that has been neglected and the paint was oxidized severely making it dull and with almost zero shine. The small square shown is the test spot we did to show the client what could be done to the car. 

Paint Correction is a crucial step in the preparation of any ceramic coating job. It ensures not only the paint is very glossy, but it also removes a 'dead" or oxidized layer of paint that it could cause the ceramic coating bond and to fail at a later date. Of course not every paint correction job follows with a Coating, but certainly all coating jobs done at Auto Concierge Hawaii will be paired with some level of paint correction.
