2 Stage Paint Correction Upgrade | Compound & Polish

The 2-stage paint correction upgrade is necessary for vehicles with moderate to severe paint defects, such as:

1. Swirl Marks and Light Scratches: Caused by improper washing or drying techniques, automatic car washes, or daily wear.
2. Oxidation and Fading: Especially common in older or sun-exposed vehicles, causing dull and chalky surfaces.
3. Water Spots and Etching: From acid rain, bird droppings, or hard water, which can permanently damage the clear coat if not addressed.
4. Holograms and Buffer Trails: Left behind by poor-quality polishing jobs, making the paint look hazy under direct light.

The 2-stage correction process involves:

1. Cutting/Compounding Stage: Aggressively removing defects with a heavier cutting compound and pad.
2. Polishing Stage: Refining the finish to remove haze from the cutting stage and restoring a deep, glossy shine.

It not only improves the appearance but also increases the car's value and protects the paint from further damage when sealed with a quality coating.
