Paint Correction - FAQs

1. What is paint correction?

Paint correction is a process that removes imperfections from your vehicle's paintwork, such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and water spots. This process restores the paint to a like-new or even better-than-new condition, enhancing the overall appearance and gloss of your vehicle.

2. How long does paint correction take?

The time required for paint correction varies depending on the condition of the paint and the level of correction needed. It can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours or more. Severe imperfections may require multiple stages of correction, which can extend the time needed to achieve the desired results.

3. What are the benefits of paint correction?

• Improved Appearance: Removes imperfections, making the paint look smooth, glossy, and vibrant.

• Increased Resale Value: Enhances the overall look of your vehicle, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

• Protection: Prepares the surface for additional protective coatings like wax or ceramic coatings, ensuring better adhesion and longer-lasting protection.

4. Can all scratches be removed with paint correction?

While paint correction can remove or significantly reduce many types of scratches and imperfections, some deep scratches may not be fully removable. However, these can often be minimised, greatly improving the overall appearance of the paint.

5. How often should I get paint correction?

The frequency of paint correction depends on how well you maintain your vehicle and its exposure to harsh conditions. Typically, paint correction is recommended once a year or when noticeable imperfections start to appear.

Ceramic Coating - FAQs

1. What is a ceramic coating?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of your vehicle. It chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a layer of protection that is hydrophobic, resistant to UV rays, and helps prevent contaminants from adhering to the surface.

2. How long does ceramic coating last?

Ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years or more, depending on the type of coating used and how well you maintain your vehicle. Proper care and regular maintenance can extend the life of the coating.

3. What are the benefits of ceramic coating?

• Durable Protection: Provides a long-lasting barrier against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches.

• Enhanced Gloss: Gives the paint a deep, reflective shine that enhances the vehicle's appearance.

• Easy Maintenance: Makes washing and cleaning your vehicle easier, as dirt and grime have a harder time sticking to the surface.

• Hydrophobic Properties: Water beads up and rolls off, reducing water spots and making drying easier.

4. Can ceramic coating be applied to all parts of the vehicle?

Yes, ceramic coatings can be applied to painted surfaces, wheels, glass, and even plastic trim. It provides protection and enhances the appearance of all treated surfaces.

5. How should I maintain my vehicle after ceramic coating?

To maintain the effectiveness of the ceramic coating, wash your vehicle regularly using a pH-neutral car shampoo. Avoid abrasive cleaners and brushes. Periodic maintenance, such as reapplying a ceramic spray, can also help prolong the coating's life.
