Expert Paint Correction Services at Nathan's Auto Care

The frequency of paint correction depends on various factors, including the condition of your vehicle's paint, the depth of the clear coat, and the type of environments it encounters. Typically, a full paint correction service is recommended once for most vehicles but can be done more than once if necessary.  Preserving your vehicle’s paint with a ceramic coating will extend the results of the paint correction, which is why these services go hand in hand. 

Paint correction can significantly diminish and, in many cases, completely remove a wide range of superficial scratches and blemishes. However, the effectiveness of the correction depends on the depth of the scratches. Swirl marks, light scratches, and other minor imperfections that don't fully penetrate the clear coat of the paint can usually be effectively treated with paint correction. Deeper scratches that go through the clear coat and into the paint itself might not be completely removable and may require more intensive treatments, such as touch-up painting or, in some cases, repainting of the affected area.  Nathan's Auto Care can assess the damage and advise you on the best course of action for your vehicle.

Paint correction and polishing might seem similar, but they have different goals for vehicle care. Paint correction is a detailed, restorative process that removes imperfections by leveling the clear coat, and eliminating or reducing scratches and swirl marks. It requires professional equipment, products, and a skilled technician for a flawless finish. Polishing, on the other hand, is simpler and aims to temporarily enhance the paint's shine and gloss without fixing deeper imperfections. It can mask, but not remove, scratches and blemishes, making it a cosmetic improvement rather than a long-term solution.
