Expert Paint Correction Services in Richmond, VA: Restore Your Cars Shine
Are you noticing swirls, scratches, and imperfections dulling the finish of your car's paint? In Richmond, VA, our expert paint correction services can rejuvenate your vehicle’s exterior, bringing back its showroom shine. Paint correction is a meticulous process designed to eliminate surface defects and enhance the gloss and clarity of your car’s paintwork. Depending on your preferences, we aim to remove 65% to 90% of these imperfections through an intensive multi-step cutting and polishing procedure known as a 2-step correction.
Mendez Mobile Detailing Art & Science of Paint Correction
Paint correction is more than just polishing—it's a precise art and science. Our skilled technicians use specialized tools and products to carefully remove a fine layer of the clear coat, eliminating surface imperfections such as:
-
Swirls: Often caused by improper washing and drying techniques.
-
Scratches: Light to moderate scratches from various sources.
-
Oxidation: The dulling of paint due to prolonged exposure to the elements.
-
Water Spots and Etching: Marks left by hard water and acidic contaminants.
However, not all imperfections can be fully removed. Factors such as the depth of scratches, the type of defect, and the thickness of the clear coat play a significant role. For instance, deep scratches might be beyond safe removal, and polishing too aggressively can thin the clear coat excessively. Our experts will make professional judgment calls to balance the removal of defects with the preservation of your vehicle’s paint integrity.
