One-step vs. deep paint correction

Both refine paint, but the right process depends on defect depth, paint behavior and the result you want.

One-step correction prioritizes clarity

A one-step correction uses a measured polishing process to improve gloss and reduce eligible light haze and swirl marks without pursuing maximum defect removal.

Correction targets eligible defects

Paint correction begins with inspection and a test spot. The pad, polish and number of steps are selected according to paint behavior, defect depth and the amount of clear coat that can be preserved safely.

Percentages require a test spot

A responsible detailer cannot promise an exact removal percentage from a photo alone. Lighting, paint system and defect depth change what is safely achievable.

Protection comes after refinement

Once the finish is corrected, it should be cleaned and protected with a system appropriate to the client’s maintenance plan.
