Auttimo’s Paint Correction Process – Step 1

1. Detailed Cleaning and Decontamination

The first stage of the paint correction process begins with providing a detailed wash to the vehicle’s exterior and decontaminating the paint in full from any embedded contamination. This process is important because it removes any iron, bugs, dirt and grime that could otherwise hinder the paint correction process or hide existing defects. After a specialized hand wash that strips paintwork, most vehicles will need a clay bar to remove particles that are ingrained in the pores of the vehicle’s paint, leaving the paintwork ready for the next step.

2. Paintwork Assessment and Inspection

Our paint correction specialists are familiar with a variety of paint types across brands like Porsche, Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes and BMW amongst other more common brands like Toyota, Jeep and Tesla. Once the vehicle has fully been cleaned and decontaminated, the detailer looks at the paintwork in different lighting angles using either natural or handheld lighting to look for swirl marks, scratches, oxidation and other defects in the vehicle’s paintwork. This inspection will dictate what kinds of pads, compounds and techniques will be used in order to correct the paint in the least diminishing method possible.

3. Compounding, Buffing, and Polishing

Once the proper tools have been selected by the specialist, it’s time to start the most important step of the correction and polish the paintwork. Depending on the package selected or the work requested, a detailer will use different levels of pads and compounds to appropriately remove the imperfections assessed. Light swirls can normally be tackled with softer pads and less abrasive polishes, while deeper scratches and machine car wash swirl marks will require heavier compounding and more abrasive cutting, often requiring multiple steps. As a best practice, the lightest, least abrasive combination of pads and compounds should be used before proceeding to a more aggressive method. This technique ensures that the clear coat is worn out as little as possible. This process normally takes a few hours to days depending on the level of perfection being achieved by the service.

4. Protect the Restored Paintwork with Sealant

After the paintwork has been perfected to the desired level, we apply a protective layer to the vehicle’s surface. We normally offer an entry-level sealant for the paint, unless a more durable ceramic coating is chosen as the method of protection. Whether a ceramic sealant or ceramic coating is chosen, the goal is protect the paintwork from the elements, with a boost of luster, color and shine if a ceramic coating package is selected.
