Common Customer Questions About Vehicle Paint Correction

  • How does paint correction differ from detailing services? Aren’t they the same thing?

    While detailing services at Dripping Auto Pros serves the basic purpose of removing loose dirt and surface grime from your vehicle’s paint and other areas, it does NOT typically address deeper issues in the paintwork that cannot be washed away. Too many new customers to vehicle detailing assume that there is some type of buffing procedure in exterior detailing that removes hairline scratches and scrapes. In contrast, paint correction is a much more thorough and specialized process. Its primary aim is to tackle imperfections with actual light abrasion, removing swirl marks, scratches, and etching in the clear coat itself.

  • Is paint correction a one-time solution?

    Paint correction is NOT a one-time fix that offers permanent results for your vehicle's paintwork, though that also does NOT mean you can get paint correction done regularly. Even after undergoing this meticulous process, your vehicle's paint will eventually accumulate new imperfections due to various factors like exposure to the elements and daily wear and tear. As such, ongoing maintenance or additional protection packages such as our Icon Rocklear formulas, REVIVIfy Coatings, and a paint protection film will be necessary to keep defects away from your finish. Too frequent paint correction will thin out your clear coat quickly.

  • Is paint correction safe for all vehicle paint types?

    The majority of contemporary vehicles feature clear coat finishes that are well-suited for the professional paint correction services we provide here at Dripping Auto Pros, making it a safe option in increasing vehicle paint gloss and removing defects. However, the situation changes when dealing with the collector or classic vehicles that we see here at our Dripping Springs, Texas detailing shop. We must utilize single-stage paint correction systems to avoid harming these older models, as they require a specialized approach for effective paint correction. Additionally, vehicles with unique finishes like matte or satin also call for particular techniques to ensure the paint is not damaged or that the look is not altered too much.

What About the Process of Paint Correction? Breaking It Down

Washing and Detailing the Exterior

Before initiating any paint correction services at Dripping Auto Pros, it is absolutely imperative for our detailing team to carry out a comprehensive exterior decontamination process. This crucial initial phase allows us to remove any elements that obscure your vehicle's finish and its current condition, enabling us to accurately identify all the scratches, swirl marks, and various blemishes that need addressing in the clear coat. Much like our exterior detailing offerings, we employ a contaminant-free, two-bucket hand washing technique that uses only wash mitts and soft microfiber towels to avoid causing additional damage. A gentle clay bar treatment follows the hand wash to eliminate any lingering microscopic dirt and debris.

Comprehensive Examination of the Vehicle’s Surface

After your vehicle is impeccably clean and free from the surface contaminants previously mentioned, we can commence our meticulous paint correction process. The initial phase involves a full examination for any and every swirl mark, minor to moderate scratches, and other imperfections in the clear coat that have gone ignored for too long. Utilizing high-intensity LED shop lights and a keen attention to detail from our training, our team at Dripping Auto Pros formulates a precise strategy to address every issue, aiming to restore your vehicle's original luster. This preliminary step often serves as an eye-opener for many new vehicle owners, highlighting that even seemingly flawless paintwork can benefit from further refinement.

The True Paint Correction Stage

This is the pivotal moment where the transformation occurs! At the heart of Dripping Auto Pros' professional paint correction process lies our cutting stage. We implement a gentle abrasive compound and a precise cutting approach to methodically smooth out your clear coat, targeting and eliminating specific areas of imperfection identified during our LED inspection. Our manual leveling techniques are carried out with utmost precision and care, ensuring not just the removal of deeper flaws and wear but also delivering an unparalleled experience that achieves the results you have long been looking for.

Refine, Smooth, and Finalize the Project

After the cutting phase is completed, the final step to achieve that sought-after new vehicle look involves a meticulous buffing, polishing, and jeweling process where necessary. Utilizing specialized buffing and polishing pads along with cutting-edge equipment, our Dripping Auto Pros paint correction experts focus on smaller sections of your vehicle to erase any lingering minor scratches and to clear away the slight haze left by compounds used in the cutting stage. The end result is an impeccably smooth clear coat that showcases your vehicle's aesthetic appeal, allowing you to drive through Dripping Springs, Texas with renewed pride and confidence.
