Expert paint correction services by big's mobile

Paint correction involves the mechanical leveling of a clear coat or paint, with the clear coat being unpigmented paint. The goal is to eliminate swirl marks and light scratches, with swirl marks being essentially a “V” cut or slice in the paint where light reflects within the scratch’s valley, creating the visible swirl marks. Paint correction shines by creating a flat surface, eliminating areas for light to bounce around.

The process includes different levels of aggressiveness during polishing for varied end results. Not every car owner requires or desires “perfect paint”; some are content with significant improvement. The complexity of the process depends on the car owner’s expectations, ranging from a straightforward procedure to a labor-intensive one requiring experience and knowledge.

At Big’s Mobile, we prioritize understanding the car owner’s expectations to determine the proper steps and use the correct products efficiently. We avoid shortcuts such as using oils and glazes to “fill” defects temporarily, ensuring lasting results.

How long should Paint Correction take?

The duration of paint correction varies, ranging from 5 hours for a simple one-step process to 30 hours for a more involved multi-step approach. We use over 90 combinations of products, pads, and machines to ensure the right outcome. Test spots are performed to confirm desired results before proceeding with the entire car.

For the flat-out package, we initiate the process with wet sanding and then execute a full reset package, delivering the flattest paint and the most mirror-like shine.

Protecting The Paint After A Paint Correction

After paint correction, protecting the paint is crucial. Options include sealant wax, ceramic coating, and coating toppers, each serving its purpose. For optimal protection, we highly recommend a paint coating. Big’s Mobile offers coating topper spray for up to 6 months or a paint sealant lasting up to 3 months, providing car owners with various choices for proper maintenance.
