PROFESSIONAL VEHICLE PAINT CORRECTION LOCATED IN BURLINGTON, NC

Our Paint Correction Procedure at Proper Shine Detailing

Washing and Surface Cleaning

Before any paint correction process begins at Proper Shine Detailing, the vehicle must be thoroughly washed to adequately remove dirt, grime, and other surface contaminants. This prevents further scratches from happening during the correction process and allows us to inspect the surface better.

Paint Claying

A clay bar or clay mitt is then applied to the newly washed surfaces to remove embedded contaminants from the paint that washing alone cannot remove. This step ensures a smooth surface, priming it for the cutting, buffing, and polishing process that we provide at Proper Shine Detailing.

Assessing the Paintwork

Before diving into the actual steps of paint correction, it is absolutely essential for us to assess the state of the paint one more time. This involves checking the paint's thickness and determining the extent of defects or discrepancies that currently affect its finish by using specialized tools and our professional lighting gear.

Cutting, Buffing, and Polishing

This is where the bulk of what revitalizes your paint shine takes place! Depending on the severity of the imperfections in your vehicle’s clear coat, a variety of cutting compounds are implemented with various abrasion pads. We abrade away a thin layer of clear coat to remove surface defects before the process of buffing and polishing starts. Overall, this is quite a meticulous task that we do in stages, checking our work along the way to verify that desired results are being achieved.

Adding Your Ceramic Coating

After paint correction, every vehicle can be paired with the ceramic coating of your choosing. It is essential to coat a newly corrected and polished surface to keep environmental contamination and other potential messes away from the original finish.
