How We do Paint Correction

Our 3 Stage Buffing Process Explained

1. Cutting (Stage 1 – Heavy Correction)

  • Purpose: Removes deep scratches, oxidation, and severe swirl marks.

  • Process:

    • Uses a coarse/aggressive compound and a wool pad or heavy-cutting foam pad.

    • Requires a rotary polisher or high-speed DA polisher for maximum correction.

    • May leave slight haze or micromarring, which is refined in later stages.

2. Polishing (Stage 2 – Medium/Refinement)

  • Purpose: Smooths out haze from cutting and removes moderate defects.

  • Process:

    • Uses a medium/fine polish and a softer foam pad (e.g., orange or white).

    • Performed with a DA polisher for a finer finish.

    • Enhances gloss and prepares the surface for final refinement.

3. Finishing (Stage 3 – Ultra-Refinement)

  • Purpose: Eliminates any remaining micro-marring and maximizes gloss before protection.

  • Process:

    • Uses an ultra-fine finishing polish and a soft foam pad (black or blue).

    • Often done with a low-speed DA polisher or by hand for a mirror-like finish.

    • Ensures the surface is perfectly smooth for ceramic coating, wax, or sealant application.

How We do Paint Correction

Why 3 Stages?

Deep defects require aggressive correction (Stage 1).

  • Deep defects require aggressive correction (Stage 1).
  • Moderate swirls need refining (Stage 2).
  • Final gloss demands ultra-fine polishing (Stage 3).

This method is ideal for show cars, ceramic coating prep, or heavily oxidized paint. For daily drivers, a 2-stage (cut & polish) may suffice.
