Paint Correction FAQ for California
What is single-stage vs multi-stage paint correction?
Single-stage uses one polishing step and removes about 50-60% of defects. Two-stage uses cutting then polishing for 80-90% removal. Multi-stage addresses severe damage and can achieve 95%+ correction.
Will paint correction damage my clear coat?
Professional paint correction removes a microscopic amount of clear coat. Detailers measure paint thickness to ensure safe correction. Proper technique preserves your clear coat while removing defects.
How often can paint correction be done?
Paint correction should be infrequent—typically once every few years. After correction, proper maintenance and ceramic coating can keep your paint looking perfect without repeated correction.
Is paint correction worth it for an older car?
Paint correction can dramatically transform older vehicles. If the paint isn't severely oxidized or failing, correction can restore it to near-new condition, significantly improving the car's appearance and value.
What's the difference between paint correction and polishing?
Polishing is a general term for enhancing shine. Paint correction specifically refers to removing defects through measured, multi-step processes. All correction involves polishing, but not all polishing is correction.
