This service is designed for vehicles with significant defects, dramatically improving the finish by eliminating nearly all swirls, bird droppings etching, and most scratches. We typically achieve a 90% to 95% correction of paint imperfections.
In some cases, localized wet sanding is required to remove severe imperfections or the orange peel effect often found after paint repairs. However, the total paint thickness and defect severity can limit the extent of correction. Achieving 100% correction is rarely possible, and compromises are necessary in areas with thin clear coats to avoid the risk of striking through.
This service represents the highest level of paint correction we offer, providing a substantial transformation, enhancing your vehicle’s value, and potentially saving you the expense of a respray.
We begin with the wheels, using a combination of wheel and tire brushes along with wheel cleaners and degreasers to clean the wheels, barrels, and arches. Then, we rinse each wheel to remove any loose dirt and grime.
We apply citrus pre-wash and snow foam to the entire vehicle to help remove dirt and reduce the risk of swirls and scratches. This is rinsed off with high-pressure water. Using the two-bucket method with Shampoo and a microfiber wash mitt, we wash the vehicle from top to bottom, rinsing the mitt after each panel. Finally, we use a Karcher K4 for a high-pressure rinse, effectively removing shampoo and dirt.
Decontamination is crucial for achieving a great finish. We use chemicals to remove tar, iron filings, and sap from your paintwork. First, we apply Tar to soften the tar, then agitate it with a soft microfiber cloth to remove stubborn spots. After rinsing, we apply a Iron remover to the painted surfaces and wheels, then rinse again. Finally, the vehicle is brought inside to be dried with blow dryers and drying towels.
Prior to polishing, we may feel the need to wet sand certain, heavier marks out of the paint, that just polishing wouldn't remove on it's own. Doing this allows us to remove heavier marks leaving you with a very high standard finish.
Once the vehicle is prepped, we begin our three-stage paint enhancement by testing a small area to determine the most effective compound and pad for your vehicle. We use 1", 2", 3", and 5" pads to ensure every part of your vehicle is thoroughly covered, leaving no area untouched.
In our multi stage correction, we start by going over the entire car with a heavy cutting compound to cut through those swirl marks and defects and possible sanding marks, we then will help this process by using a secondary, slightly less harsh medium cutting compound and then move onto refining to bring the clarity and depth back into your paintwork.
In this stage we we would also use a mixture of pads ranging from firm to soft for the ultimate finish.
To complete the process, we will apply protection if required, this can either be a hard wax, spray sealant or one of our Supass Ceramic Coatings. We also apply tire dressing, treat exterior trims, and clean the glass inside and out. Before handing over the keys, we meticulously inspect all exterior surfaces to ensure they meet our standards of cleanliness.
