FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below are some questions our customers have asked about our auto body wash, paint correction, ceramic coating, and detailing services.
What is the benefit of paint correction?
Paint correction helps your vehicle retain its new car luster for many years! Whether you’re looking to sell that beater down the street or keep your current ride like-new, professional paint correction should be on your radar. Let our dependable team maintain that beautiful exterior with a little help from state of the art products designed to bring out those embedded swirls, holograms, scuffs and other imperfections hiding in plain sight around your vehicle’s skin.
Can we put ceramic coating on after paint correction?
Absolutely you can! Ceramic Coating is 1 of the 2 best ways to protect your vehicle. But be sure that your car’s paintwork has been completely corrected before adding a ceramic coating, as it is semi-permanent and acts as a shield to abrasions, making future corrective work more difficult.
My paint is oxidized, will paint correction fix this?
Different processes of automotive paint correction can fix oxidized paint; however, the method our Paint Enhancement Specialist uses varies depending on both the level of severity of the oxidization and the color of your vehicle’s paintwork.
Do new cars need paint correction?
Understand this: dealers are not detailers. They could very well have washed and dried a new vehicle incorrectly, rubbing abrasive dust and dirt unknowingly against the finish. Light or heavy paint correction is helpful on even the most spotless finishes. We have also never ever in our years of polishing vehicles encountered a brand new vehicle that was 100% flawless prior to arriving to the shop. No matter if the car only has 1 mile on the odometer, we still always recommend paint enhancement before any long term protection is applied.
