Ever wonder why you see so many new cars at detail shops? Sure, they may be getting window tint, clear bra (paint protection film) or a Ceramic Coating, but more times than not, they actually need paint correction! Yes, paint correction when the car only has 30 miles on it!
What causes this?
Many times, vehicles come from the factory with paint imperfections; on Porsches we mainly see what are called ‘pigtails’ or sandmarks from after the car was painted and sanded. The marks left in the paint are from improper machine buffing techniques which did not remove them effectively.
Other flaws like swirl or spider web scratches are often times caused by the way the car is handled from the factory - to the dealership - to the owner. The vehicle may arrive to the dealership, only to be stripped of its plastic and ‘detailed’, which often leads to swirls/scratches being instilled in the finish due to their improper techniques.

After receiving our stage 2 paint correction, the gentian blue finish on this GT3 was absolutely GLOWING!
