A perfect paint job doesn’t happen by accident. Every vehicle on the road is exposed to dust, dirt, UV rays, and improper washing techniques that leave behind fine scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Over time, these imperfections dull the original shine of the paint, making even high-end vehicles look worn. That’s where professional paint correction comes in.
At August Precision, restoring the brilliance of a car’s exterior is a science. Using industry-leading tools, high-grade compounds, and expert techniques, our technicians remove imperfections and refine the surface for an unparalleled gloss. This process isn’t just about aesthetics—it also plays a critical role in preserving your car’s value and protecting its paint for years to come.
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of carefully removing microscopic layers of clear coat to eliminate surface imperfections. Unlike traditional waxing or polishing, which only mask defects, true paint correction permanently restores clarity by eliminating swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots.
Our multi-step process ensures that every inch of the vehicle’s exterior receives the attention it deserves. Depending on the severity of the defects, we perform a single-stage, two-stage, or multi-stage correction to achieve the best possible results.
The Paint Correction Process
-
Comprehensive Wash & Decontamination
Before any machine polishing begins, the vehicle is thoroughly washed using pH-balanced shampoos and a foam cannon to lift dirt without introducing new scratches. The surface is then clay barred to remove embedded contaminants that washing alone can’t eliminate. -
Paint Thickness Measurement
A digital paint depth gauge is used to assess the thickness of the clear coat. This step ensures we use the safest approach possible without compromising the integrity of the paint. -
Machine Polishing & Correction
Using high-quality dual-action polishers, cutting compounds, and finishing polishes, we work panel by panel to level the surface. Depending on the severity of defects, we use different polishing pads and compounds to cut, refine, and finish the paint to perfection. -
Final Inspection & Finishing Touches
After multiple passes with the polisher, the paint is wiped down with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution to reveal the true condition of the finish. If necessary, we refine the surface further to ensure a flawless, swirl-free result. -
Protection & Coating (Optional Upgrade)
Once the correction is complete, we highly recommend applying a ceramic coating or high-quality sealant to protect the newly perfected paint. This step locks in the gloss, repels water and contaminants, and makes future maintenance significantly easier.
Why Choose August Precision?
Precision and experience set us apart. Our team of professional detailers uses state-of-the-art equipment and the finest polishing products available. Every vehicle is treated with the same level of care, whether it’s a daily driver, a collector’s car, or an exotic supercar.
Unlike many auto detailing services that rely on quick fixes, August Precision focuses on long-term results. We take pride in delivering a permanently improved finish rather than a temporary shine that fades in weeks.
Who Needs Paint Correction?
If your car has any of the following, it can benefit from professional paint correction:
- Swirl marks from improper washing
- Fine scratches from road debris or car washes
- Water spots from hard water minerals
- Oxidation and fading from sun exposure
- Holograms or buffer trails left by improper polishing
Even brand-new vehicles often have minor defects from factory handling, shipping, or dealership prep. A new car paint correction can elevate the finish beyond what’s seen in the showroom.
Long-Term Benefits of Paint Correction
Investing in paint correction isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protecting the value of your vehicle. A properly corrected and well-maintained finish helps preserve resale value and prevents further deterioration. When combined with a ceramic coating, the results can last for years, making future maintenance easy and stress-free.
