step by step paint correction process
step 1: tape off moldings
We don’t want to accidently polish a molding or chrome moldings. We want to protect the sensitive area’s before we began to polish.
step 2: Compound
First step is the most effective way to remove the defects on the paint, by applying a Compound liquid onto our wool cutting pad with our polishing machine.
step 3: Polish
The second step is to correct the compound phase, This corrects the marks and micro scratches it leaves on the paint from the first step and add shine!
step 4: add paint protection
The final step is to add a wax, sealant or ceramic coating based on your choice. Before applying a protection we would inspect the vehicle to see if we had missed anything.
