Paint Correction Misconceptions: Solved by Rich Details

A black number 1 on a white background.

Myth 1: Paint correction will fix every vehicle paint defect

While paint correction removes the majority of exterior defects that collect in your car, truck, or SUV’s clear coat, it does NOT completely guarantee the removal of everything. Auto paint correction is a process of fixing light scratches, swirl marks, marring, etching, and stains, not the paintwork itself. This means that if a scratch is too deep or wide, paint correction will NOT be applicable.

Myth 2: Auto paint correction involves repainting your automobile

Because paint correction repairs scratches in your vehicle’s exterior clear coat, it does NOT involve the actual repainting of the vehicle itself. What actually happens during our paint correction process here at Rich Details is that the clear coat of your ride is cut with compounds to level surface defects before being buffed and polished for maximum paint gloss.

Myth 3: You will barely notice paint correction results

Auto paint correction services are the best way to remove the defects and discrepancies in your vehicle’s exterior surfaces BECAUSE of how noticeable the change is! While they don’t guarantee removal of the major defects or anything that has broken all the way through the clear coat on a painted panel, taking away the variety of surface defects from your finish amplifies gloss and finish clarity. And remember: the more prominent the defect itself, the more noticeable that it will be when it is removed!

FAQs About Vehicle Paint Correction Services

  • Is paint correction required before a ceramic coating or PPF installation?

    We recommend having a paint correction package performed prior to the application of any ceramic coating formula or automotive clear bra here at our Farmingdale, New York shop. Because these paint protection packages are exclusively designed to enhance the paintwork on your vehicle itself, they tend to wrongfully enhance any defects they are applied over. Paint correction will enhance the visual quality of what our ceramic coatings and PPF packages protect!

  • Does paint correction remove a vehicle’s clear coat completely?

    Paint correction does abrade away a very small amount of clear coat from your car, truck, or SUV’s exterior to even out the surface that a given scratch or scrape is affecting. In short, yes, a small amount of the vehicle’s original clear coat will be removed; however, it will not be extensive from one paint correction. We will use the light abrasion across your ENTIRE vehicle to make sure the effort is done evenly.

  • How many times can your ride’s finish be corrected?

    You cannot have auto paint correction done a significant amount of times due to the light abrasion utilized during it. Paint correction evens out the surface around all defects in painted vehicle panels, so there is a point where the clear coat will need to be reapplied. Additionally, this is why we encourage following our paint correction services here at Rich Details with a PPF so you do NOT have to have this service done repeatedly.

  • What’s the best way to keep my car looking good after paint correction?

    The best way to maintain the quality of your vehicle after you receive an automotive paint correction service from Rich Details is to have it covered by any of our paint protection packages AND consistently detailed by our professional detailing team. This effort safely removes any harmful contamination buildup while the paint protection packages work hard to thwart defects, discrepancies, stains, and UV degradation.
