Paint correction is a common term used by both professional and amateur auto detailers worldwide; it describes the process of restoring and revitalizing the paintwork of a vehicle
This is achieved mostly by eliminating surface imperfections, which dull, oxidize, or haze the surface by reflecting light in different directions.
These surface imperfections include scratches and swirl-marks and are corrected by removing a small amount of coat from the car surface using polishing machines or buffers to apply micro-abrasive polishes. This process levels out the surface.
