Paint Correction & Leveling
Paint Layers & Defect Analysis
3 Stages of Machine Polishing
Prior to any PPF application, meticulous paint correction is required. Each level is dependent on the condition of your vehicle's paintwork.
Single Stage
A single stage paint enhancement uses just one type of polish and pad combination. This is suited to paintwork in relatively good condition with very minor swirl marks from cleaning. Involves refining the paintwork followed by a wax or paint sealant to protect the finish.
Stage 2
For vehicles with moderate swirl marks and light scratches. Involves using 2 different polish and pad combinations: a more abrasive compound to remove moderate paint defects, followed by a finishing polish to refine the paintwork further by removing any marring or holograms.
Stage 3
The most intense technique used for cars with heavy swirl marks, scratches, and other significant defects. Uses 3 combinations: a heavy cutting compound/pad for deeper defects, a medium polishing step for lighter swirls, and a final finishing polish for a high gloss finish.
