1 Step Correction

A 1-step correction is a streamlined process designed to enhance the appearance of your vehicle's paintwork by removing minor imperfections. This involves a single stage of machine polishing, using a medium-cut polish and pad combination. The goal is to achieve a noticeable improvement in gloss and clarity while eliminating light swirl marks and minor scratches. It's a cost-effective solution for those looking to significantly improve their car's appearance without the time and expense of a multi-step correction.

2 Step Correction

A 2-step correction is a more comprehensive process aimed at removing deeper imperfections from your vehicle's paintwork. It involves two stages of machine polishing. The first step uses a more aggressive compound and pad to eliminate significant defects like deeper swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. The second step uses a finer polish and pad to refine the finish, enhancing gloss and clarity. This method provides a more thorough restoration of your vehicle's paint, resulting in a smoother, more reflective surface.

3 Step Correction

A 3-step paint correction is the most comprehensive and meticulous method to restore your vehicle's paintwork to its best possible condition. It begins with a cutting stage, where a heavy-cut compound and coarse pad are used to remove significant defects like deep scratches, heavy swirl marks, and severe oxidation. The second stage is the polishing stage, which employs a medium-cut polish and pad to further refine the paint, eliminating any remaining imperfections from the cutting stage and enhancing clarity. Finally, the finishing stage uses a fine finishing polish and a soft pad to achieve a mirror-like finish, maximizing gloss and depth of color. This process ensures a showroom-quality shine, bringing your vehicle's paint back to life with unparalleled clarity and brilliance.
