Car Paint Correction Services
paint correction for vehicles
At JREK AutoCare, we specialize in professional paint correction services in Ottawa designed to restore the clarity, depth, and shine of your vehicle’s finish. Whether you’re dealing with surface imperfections, dull paint, or signs of ageing, our expert technicians are equipped with the tools and experience needed to bring your paint back to life.
Here are some of the common types of paint correction services we offer:
Scratch Removal: From light clear-coat scratches to deeper imperfections, our team uses advanced polishing compounds and techniques to eliminate visible scratches and scuffs. The result is a smoother, glossier surface that enhances the appearance of your vehicle.
Swirl Mark Removal: Swirl marks are common circular scratches caused by improper washing, drying, or detailing methods. We use dual-action polishers and refined finishing compounds to safely remove these blemishes and restore a mirror-like gloss to your paint.
Oxidation Removal: Over time, UV exposure and environmental damage can cause your vehicle’s clear coat to oxidize, leading to a faded or chalky appearance. Our technicians carefully remove oxidation buildup and rejuvenate the paint, reviving its original colour and lustre.
Ceramic Coating Protection: After correcting the paint, we highly recommend applying a ceramic coating to seal and protect the surface. This coating acts as a durable, hydrophobic barrier that guards against future swirl marks, etching, and fading while amplifying your car’s gloss and ease of maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paint Correction FAQS
What Is Car Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from a vehicle’s paint, such as scratches, key marks, swirl marks, oxidation, and more. Technicians use specialized tools and techniques to restore the appearance of the vehicle’s paint, giving it a restored finish.
How Does Vehicle Paint Correction Work?
Paint correction involves several steps that start with thoroughly washing and cleaning the vehicle’s paint. Next, technicians use specialized polishing tools to remove imperfections, such as scratches and swirl marks. Finally, the vehicle’s paint is protected with a sealant or ceramic coating.
What Is The Difference Between Vehicle Paint Correction and Polishing?
Polishing is a general term that refers to the process of removing imperfections and restoring the shine to a vehicle’s paint. Paint correction is a more specialized term that refers to the process of removing specific types of imperfections, such as scratches and swirl marks.
Can Car Paint Correction Remove All Types Of Scratches?
No, not all types of scratches can be removed through paint correction. Some deeper scratches, such as those caused by keyed or scratched paint, may require touch-up or repainting to fully repair.
How Big of a Scratch Can Paint Correction Fix?
Paint correction can fix most surface-level scratches, swirl marks, and imperfections by carefully removing a thin layer of the clear coat to create a smooth, flawless finish. However, deeper scratches that penetrate beyond the clear coat may require additional repair methods.
Surface Scratches & Swirl Marks
Light scratches, swirl marks, and hazing are common imperfections that paint correction can fully remove. These are usually caused by improper washing, minor abrasions, or environmental factors.
Moderate Scratches & Marring
Slightly deeper scratches that are still within the clear coat can often be corrected through compounding and polishing. These imperfections include marring from automated car washes or fine surface scuffs from debris.
Deep Scratches & Paint Damage
If a scratch has gone beyond the clear coat into the base paint or primer, paint correction alone may not be enough. In these cases, touch-up paint, wet sanding, or repainting may be necessary before correction can refine the finish.
