Paint Correction

What Is Paint Correction?

Over time, your ride’s paint starts getting dull, scratched and faded due to environmental factors, improper washing techniques, or general wear and tear. Hence, paint correction is a good technique for reviving a car’s appearance. It is an auto-detailing procedure that permanently removes imperfections from your vehicle’s paintwork.

It involves carefully machine compounding and polishing the surface to remove these flaws, restoring the paint’s depth and gloss. Auto paint correction is a beneficial method that uses advanced machines, tools, pads, and polishing compounds to remove microscopic layers. This way, we can get a smooth and flawless surface. Paint correction costs may vary depending on various factors like the severity of the damage. It also depends on chosen protective options but is a valuable investment in maintaining your car’s appearance and value. We use a micron analysis tool to make sure we do not remove to much clear coat during the correction stage ensuring not to compromise the uv integrity of the clear coat.

How Does Paint Correction Work?

An ideal car paint correction process involves the following steps:

Clean the surface

We start with cleaning the surface by washing and decontaminating using sprays, iron or fallout remover and or a clay bar. This removes dirt, dust and all other contaminants, reducing the possibility of further damage to your car’s paint. This also leaves the paint work feeling silky and smooth.

Inspect the damaged area

The next step is to analyse the cause and effect of the damaged area. Our team inspects how deep the scratch is and how to improve it with proper tools and techniques.

Level the surface

We use a microfiber cutting pad to even out the surface. Using the cutting compound on the electric polisher and microfiber cutting board, we buff the area in a controlled, forward-backwards motion. During this process, we replace and clean the cutting pad frequently to prevent further scratches.

Polish the surface

After finishing car colour correction, polishes are applied in stages – starting with a coarse polish for deeper scratches and finishing with finer polishes for smooth and glossy results.

Ceramic coat and protect

Lastly, our team applies a protective layer with a nano-ceramic coating or car wax. This helps shield the paint from scratches, UV rays, and environmental factors. Additionally, this layer ensures durability, scratch resistance, and long-lasting coating.

What Are the Benefits of Car Paint Correction?

If you are still wondering whether a car paint correction service is right for you, here are some of the benefits you receive as a car owner:

  • New Car Look:

    A car paint correction delivers a new car or “showroom look”. We know that you want your car to look its best and classy whenever you drive it. Paint correction helps it retain gloss and lustre over the years while preventing colour fading.

  • No Paintwork Damage:

    Every car is exposed to the harshness of weather and the elements. The paintwork of the car is the first casualty, be it snow, dust or the sun. It is also vulnerable to scratches and minor dents. Car detailing and paint correction ensure that all these damages are treated and your car regains its lost look.

  • Protective layer:

    Superior finish applied alongside the paint correction process shields against weather extremes. It improves longevity and helps your car to retain its quality paint job over the years.

  • Save on Paint Polishing:

    A professional car paint correction also helps you save money. You need not get a polish or waxing done every time you visit the workshop.

  • Increased Resale Value:

    You increase the resale value of your car when you get a paintwork correction done. Along with the service record and performance, the aesthetics of the car affect the buyer’s interest. A well-maintained and good-looking car always fetches a better price than its poorly-maintained counterpart.

We used RPM to detail a 10 year old car to give to our son. Cam is a fantastic bloke to deal with, he loves what he does, and it shows with the quality of the work he does. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to spruce up the look of their car

Quality Service! Quality Workmanship! Quality Finish! From the moment I first contacted Cam at RPM Detailing, I felt confident leaving my car with him. He knew what he was talking about and knew what my Silverado ZR2 needed. It's a BIG RIG and not a job for the Faint Hearted. He put in a massive effort and was so much more fastidious than I was about the finished product. The end result speaks volumes about the man! Cam is a true gentleman who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you Cam 👍

I picked up a new 300 series Landcruiser, had some work done to it and then wanted her protected before we took her out into the bush. Called Cameron, discussed the job, nothing was too much trouble….the job was impeccable, the attention to detail was evident from the first conversation, the end result amazing….could not recommend Cameron and Rpm detailing strongly enough…

Cameron is a pleasure to deal with and i would give more stars if l was able too. Did a fantastic job with both PPF and Gtechniq Serum protection formula. To quote Molly Meldrum do yourself a favour and take your car to RPM.

I've recently had Cameron work his magic on my Vrod harley-davidson. He carried out both paint correction and ceramic coating. His attention to detail is incredible. Im very happy with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone. Not to mention he's an awesome bloke too. Thanks again bro.

It's very simple - call Cameron, listen to his advice, work out what's best for you and book it in for ceramic coating. He really looked after me, turning around my coating quickly. The coating was only applied yesterday but I have confidence that it will last many years. Thanks Cameron.

Look no further than RPM detailing for ceramic and PPF treatments! From the get-go, Cameron took his time and explained the whole process and the products used. He was amazing to deal with. I chose to have PPF on the front, ceramic coating, window tinting and interior protection. The dedication and care was immediately evident and, not only did it show on the finished product, but Cameron was also more than happy to answer some of my questions following the treatment. All I can say is WOW! Huge thanks to Cameron and team for making my Zeekr look so damn beautiful…..…. Couldn’t be happier!

I can't rate RPM Detailing highly enough! Picked our car up after having PPF applied over the front end, full ceramic coating, interior leather/fabric protection and window tinting applied, and the result is brilliant. Cam was so good to deal with. He's absolutely passionate about his work and it shows in the quality of the final product. No shortcuts, no false promises, no over-selling, just great product knowledge and genuine advice. If you want your car looked after right, definitely go to RPM!
