Paint Correction & Polishing Benefits

Enhance Paint and Vehicle Longevity

Correcting the imperfections that are found in your vehicle’s clear coat help in retaining the paint's integrity over time as it removes micro-scratches, etching, swirls or other discrepancies. As a result, this prevents premature degradation that spirals out of control, often requiring your vehicle to need more specialized, expensive paint correction methods.


Plus, the sustained gloss, clarity, and overall freshness also has a positive impact on the long-term value, especially if you plan to trade in.

Customized Solutions to the Needs of Your Vehicle

JM Autolavaggio brings the distinct advantage of leveraging their extensive expertise in evaluating the overall condition of your vehicle's finish. Not only can we adeptly remove imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation that we have years of experience rectifying, but we can also meticulously analyze the paintwork for subtle inconsistencies and the minor defects that others may simply overlook. 

The Steps We Take to Achieve Greatness in Your Finish

Step 1: Full Hand Wash & Degreasing

Before beginning the paint correction process here at JM Autolavaggio, the vehicle's exterior must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. This involves our professional exterior detailer hand washing the vehicle, using a quality soap solution, microfiber towels, wash mitts, and then following up by utilizing a clay bar to remove any bonded contaminants that were not removed while hand washing. The combination of quality hand washing with our clay bar treatment lays a perfect foundation for detailing success.

Step 2: Assess the Paintwork

Once the surfaces are clean and we have a much clearer picture of the obstacles our paint correction team will face in rectifying your finish, the next step is to deeply assess the paint for scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, and any other physical imperfections obscuring your clear coat. This is done with expert precision as right here at our Tucson area detailing shop, we implement specialized LED lighting to really highlight the condition of your vehicle. Understanding the depth and severity of each of the defects will guide the rest of our paint correction process.

Step 3: Cutting, Buffing, and Polishing

Now we have arrived at the core of what vehicle paint correction is all about here at JM Autolavaggio! We start by cutting a thin layer of clear coat away from your ride before then buffing and polishing to increase visual clarity of your finish. Depending on the severity of the defects and discrepancies or stains that are afflicting your vehicle, different abrasive compounds, polishing pads, and buffing techniques may be implemented during our certified paint correction process. The polishing stage will also help by removing any deeper imperfections that cutting did not, revitalizing the paint's glossy appearance. Remember: This phase may involve multiple passes with varying levels of abrasion.
