Paint Correction Experts in Louisville, KY

Over time, your car's paint gets a tough deal. Automatic car washes, improper hand washing, road grit, and even bird droppings can leave your vehicle’s surface looking dull and covered in a web of fine scratches and swirl marks. Think of paint correction as a reset for your car's finish. It’s an intensive procedure that requires skill, patience, and the right tools. The process involves using specialized machines, various polishing compounds, and different grades of pads to carefully remove a microscopic layer of the clear coat. This is where the scratches and swirls live. Removing that tiny layer reveals a fresh, flat, and highly reflective surface underneath.

At Performance Detailzz, we have a multi-stage approach. We start with a thorough wash and decontamination to ensure the surface is completely clean. Then, we inspect the paintwork under specialized lighting to identify every single flaw. From there, we tailor our polishing process to the specific needs of your vehicle’s paint. This isn't a one size fits all service. Each car is different, and we treat it that way. The final result is a uniform, brilliant finish that will make you fall in love with your car all over again.

It’s important to understand the limits of paint correction. While it can create a dramatic improvement, it’s not magic. Paint correction works on the top layer of your car's paint, the clear coat. It cannot fix issues that go deeper than that.

Here's what paint correction cannot fix:

• Deep Scratches: If you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it’s likely too deep to be polished away safely. It has gone through the clear coat and into the color coat or even the primer.
• Rock Chips: These are impacts that have chipped the paint away, leaving a small crater. Polishing cannot add paint back into these spots.
• Failing Clear Coat: If your car's clear coat is peeling, flaking, or cracking, this is a sign of paint failure. Polishing will only make it worse. This issue requires a trip to a body shop for a repaint.
• Deep Etching: Severe bird dropping or water spot etching can sometimes go through the clear coat. While we can greatly improve it, some deep etching may be permanent.
  

We are always upfront about what is achievable. During our initial inspection, we will show you exactly what we can and cannot improve, so you have a clear picture of the expected outcome.
