Paint Correction

Paint correction services proudly provided by Marietta Ceramic Company

WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Paint correction is the process of restoring a vehicle’s exterior surface by removing imperfections like swirl marks and scratches, resulting in a smoother, more vibrant finish. It enhances the appearance and protects the paint, maintaining the vehicle’s value and appeal.

PAINT CORRECTION STAGES

Speak with a lead technician to determine which level of paint correction is needed based on the condition of your vehicle, vessel, or aircraft.

You can see more below on the pricing we offer for the stage of paint correction that you may need. Price will vary depending on vehicle size, and a final inspection may be needed to determine the final price.

1-STAGE PAINT CORRECTION

Cars: $349 | SUV/Truck: $399 | XL: $449

This process involves a single step of polishing and buffing, which significantly enhances the appearance by restoring gloss and color depth. It’s a relatively quicker and less intensive option for refreshing a car’s exterior finish, making it a popular choice for routine maintenance.

2-STAGE PAINT CORRECTION

Cars: $699 | SUV/Truck: $749 | XL: $799

The second stage involves finer polishing to refine the finish and maximize gloss. This method effectively rejuvenates the paint, providing a deep shine and enhanced clarity while addressing a broader range of issues, making it ideal for more heavily damaged surfaces.

3-STAGE PAINT CORRECTION

Cars: $1049 | SUV/Truck: $1099 | XL: $1149

The final stage involves a fine polishing step to achieve a flawless, show-quality result. 3-stage paint correction delivers the highest level of paint restoration, ensuring a stunning, mirror-like finish with exceptional depth and clarity. It’s typically chosen for restoring vintage or high-end vehicles to their pristine condition.

COMMON PAINT DEFECTS

Below are some common paint defects you may notice as a sign of needing paint correction:

OXIDATION:

A natural chemical reaction that occurs when the paint’s protective layers break down over time due to exposure to the elements. It results in a faded, dull, and chalky appearance on the paint surface, diminishing the vehicle’s overall luster and shine.

SWIRL MARK MARRING:

Swirl marks are fine, circular scratches on the paint surface caused by improper washing or buffing techniques. They create a hazy appearance in the paint’s reflection that becomes more noticeable over time.

HOLOGRAMMING:

Visible swirls or lines in the paint finish caused by improper machine polishing. Swirl marks can create an uneven and unattractive appearance on the vehicle’s surface that’s easily noticeable, but can be easily fixed by U Want 1 Auto Spa!

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a Detailing or Ceramic Coating Service?

You can request/book a service directly on our website.

Is Ceramic Coating worth the cost?

Absolutely! Not only does ceramic coating last way longer than traditional waxing, there are also tons of benefits included such as protecting your paint from UV rays, chemicals, dirt buildup, and more!

What's the difference between Ceramic Coating and Waxing?

The main difference is the duration of time that the product will last on your vehicle. Wax only stays on your vehicle for a few months, where ceramic coating can last anywhere from 1 year to 7 years or more depending on the formula. So you get more benefits out of ceramic coating, for a much longer period than the minimal benefits of waxing your vehicle.

Is Paint Correction needed with Ceramic Coating?

Unless the vehicle is brand new, there is most likely some additional preparation going to be involved, such as 1-step or 2-step paint correction. If your vehicle’s paint has scratches and swirls, then paint correction is required before ceramic coating is applied to the surfaces. The end goal is to make your vehicle look as new as possible, then protect that status.
