Common Questions - FAQ
Depending on the severity of the defects, paint correction can take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours. Our Level 1 package is completed in about 3 hours, while our Level 3 package takes up to 8 hours for extensive polishing.
Paint correction can eliminate most swirl marks, oxidation, and surface-level scratches. However, deeper scratches that penetrate beyond the clear coat may not be fully removed.
While paint correction restores the surface, it doesn’t add protection. We recommend applying a ceramic coating after paint correction for long-term protection.
Most vehicles only need paint correction every few years, depending on driving conditions and how well the paint is maintained.
When performed by skilled professionals using proper techniques and equipment, paint correction should not damage your car’s paint. In fact, it removes existing defects and enhances the paint’s condition without causing harm when done correctly.
Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating: The Ultimate Combination
Pairing your paint correction service with a ceramic coating provides long-term protection. Ceramic coating acts as a barrier over your newly corrected paint, offering:
- Hydrophobic properties that repel water, dirt, and contaminants
- Enhanced UV protection to prevent fading and oxidation
- Slick, glossy finish that’s easier to maintain
This combination is ideal for anyone looking to keep their vehicle looking pristine while reducing the frequency of washes and maintenance.
