01 / The service
In South Florida, where Mother Nature and Father Time take a toll on any car, UV and the weather wear paint down. Paint correction brings weather-worn paint back to life.
It’s the meticulous process of removing swirl marks, fine scratches, bird-dropping etching, acid rain, buffer trails, water spots and UV fading with machine polishers and a range of compounds and polishes. With our mobile paint correction you can remove up to 90% of those swirls and scratches.
Does your car need it? If it has been through an automatic car wash a couple of times, yes, most likely. Improper washing installs micro-marring, spider-web scratches and swirls.
A fully corrected car in direct sunlight shows only true reflections, with no swirls or scratches visible to the naked eye. Not every car needs a full correction; some only need an enhancement before a ceramic coating.
