What is paint correction?

A little insight in to what's going on when your detailer offers paint correction services.

Following this process you would work the paint a second time with a finer pad and polish, and follow that up with your wax or sealant. Very time consuming process!

Did you go over the area with a finishing polish. Like M-205. I think that you still need to make another pass over the area that you did do. It still looked like it had some swirl marks and rids in the area. I would have tried a more aggressive pad or polish to see if you could remove more the paint surface defects. I would try Menzerna Power Gloss. That uses DAT abrasives instead of the SMAT abrasives that are in M-105.

On and off for about 5 years, I'm still continuously learning new methods and purchasing better equipment though.

u need to use 50/50 alcohol with water, and thats not the best way to fix that u got to buff n polish then wax

@nymxcar

Buffing is removing a hazed product, you buff a wax, not a polish. You can use diluted alcohol, but it's just going to make it less effective.

That is exactly the proper way to fix that, I appreciate your input though. If you'd like to be more constructive in your criticism I welcome it, otherwise, try not to misinform people.

This video demonstrated POLISHING with a COMPOUND. COMPOUND residue was BUFFED of following the POLISHING. RESIDUE was then removed using to alcohol.

@nymxcar

Yes it is, essentially. 99% isopropanol alcohol
