Correction Detail
Over 95% of vehicles fall into the category of needing a full correction detail. Once carried out, this level of work will rarely need to be carried out to such an extent again as long as the finish is maintained. It consists briefly of the following stages:
- Paint depth readings taken and recorded. Allow high and low spots to be recorded along with finding any repair work that may need special attention.
- Citrus degreaser applied to whole vehicle.
- Glue and tar remover applied locally where required.
- Wheels, tyres, arches and door shuts pre soaked.
- Pre soaked with foam then rinsed, process repeated if necessary.
- Body and wheels washed with paint friendly lambs wool mitts then rinsed.
- Waffle weave towels used to pat dry vehicle.
- Paint decontamination process with clay.
- Trim treated to remove dressing build up.
- Vehicle rewashed and dried.
- Machine polish all surfaces including windows and lights if required to remove defects. Repeat application if required.
- Vehicle rewashed and dried if necessary to remove polish residue.
- Paintwork cleaner applied to prepare paintwork for coatings.
- Glaze applied to produce depth in the finish.
- Sealant and/or wax applied as required. Depends on paint type.
- Wax/Sealant applied to wheels
- Dressing applied to tyres and trim.
- Exterior metal and chrome cleaned and polished.
- All glass surfaces cleaned.
Note:
The level of wheel and arch cleansing is dependant on access. Some clients request wheels to be removed to allow full treatment of complex designs and multiple layers of sealant/wax to be applied to add protection, including unseen internal surfaces, which also aids future cleaning.
In extreme circumstances wet sanding may be required to remove paint defects. Please see here for further information.
