Should I get a paint correction or enhancement?

Paint correction and paint enhancement are both designed to improve a vehicle’s exterior appearance, but they address different levels of paint imperfections. While paint correction is a comprehensive approach focused on rectifying noticeable paint flaws, paint enhancement is about giving the vehicle a fresher, shinier look without the intensive labor of correction.

Here’s a more comprehensive breakdown of the differences between paint correction and enhancements.

Paint Correction

Purpose

To remove deeper imperfections in the paint such as scratches, swirl marks, and etchings.

Process

It involves using abrasive polishes and compounds with varying grit levels to meticulously buff and polish the vehicle’s surface until these imperfections are eliminated or significantly reduced

Paint Enhancement

Purpose

To improve the overall shine and finish of the paint rather than remove deep imperfections.

Process

This typically involves a less intensive polishing process that removes light swirls and enhances the gloss and depth of the paint.

Process

Provides a noticeable upgrade to the vehicle’s appearance with added shine and depth, making it more visually appealing but not necessarily addressing deeper paint issues.
