Paint Correction
in Columbus, Ohio

What is paint correction?

The paint correction process is very different from the other services we offer. Paint correction is a specialized process in the field of automotive detailing that involves restoring the finish of a vehicle's paintwork to its optimal condition by removing imperfections, scratches, swirl marks, and other defects. It goes beyond regular washing and waxing, aiming to rejuvenate the appearance of the vehicle's paint and achieve a deep, glossy finish. Paint correction should be performed by professional detailers who possess the necessary skills, tools, and expertise to achieve high-quality results.

Over time, a vehicle's paint can accumulate various imperfections due to factors such as improper washing techniques, exposure to environmental contaminants, and general wear and tear. These imperfections can dull the paint's appearance and create a less-than-desirable look, especially under bright lighting conditions. Paint correction aims to address these issues and bring back the paint's original clarity and depth.

Paint correction usually takes more time and effort than our regular detailing services. But if you plan to hang on to your vehicle as an investment and eventually trade it in, paint correction is a must at one point or another. Why not consider starting the life of your new ride the best way possible — with a flawless finish!

A fountain of youth for vehicles

Has the road done a number on your vehicle’s paint? Has tree sap or bird droppings caused your ride to lose its luster? Ohio Critical Detail has access to an automotive fountain of youth, and it is our three paint correction services!

Scratches, swirl marks, and harmful environmental contaminants stack up overtime, detracting from the quality of your finish and also creating the illusion of a fading glow. Additionally, the UV rays that come from the same sun that makes your finish shine to the public will simultaneously dull it after a while.

These factors not only harm the aesthetic of your exterior, they contribute to the devaluing of your vehicle as an asset and eventually turn it into a liability. All these reasons and more are why having one of the paint correction packages afforded to you here at Ohio Critical Detail done to your vehicle is important to its value.
