Swirls, haze, oxidation and isolated scratches can require different approaches. Paint hardness, prior repairs and defect depth affect how much improvement is sensible. Inspection under focused lighting helps decide whether a one-step polish or separate cutting and finishing stages are appropriate.
Removing a defect means refining the surrounding finish; chasing every deep scratch can sacrifice too much paint. Some marks should be reduced rather than fully removed. Compare our actual correction examples and read what paint correction involves before setting an expectation for the result.
Dealership washing, handling and transport can leave defects on new paint. That does not mean every new car needs aggressive correction. Inspect first, then match preparation to the finish and the coating package. Our new-car preparation guide explains the decision.
Vehicle size, condition and the desired level of refinement influence time and price. Send clear photos, describe any previous paintwork and tell us whether you want ceramic protection afterward. Review the correction cost guide and service options, or request an assessment at our Delmont studio.
