The purpose of paint correction is to remove swirls and imperfections so your car can shine its best. Depending on your goal, we can aim to remove 65% to 90% of the imperfection from your paint. This is where we do a thorough and precise cutting and polishing process, called a multi-step correction, to get the most gloss and clarity from your paints finish.

Some scratches or imperfections are far too deep to remove and this may be because of how deep the scratch is, the type of imperfection that it is, or maybe it’s unsafe to polish on a specific panel due to the clear coat being too thin.

This is where we’ll make the proper judgement call on what we can safely accomplish with your paint. It’s not just about removing as many imperfections. It’s also knowing when enough is enough to keep the integrity of the paint healthy and within good working boundaries.

We will do what we can to bring back the shine safely.

​

For newer vehicles, even if it’s just fresh off the lot or just a few months old, the paint can still require a multi-step correction service. Although you’ve only had the vehicle for short time, the vehicle has been transported and handled for many months by many people (in many different places).

It’s during this time that the vehicle is moved, "washed", transported, "washed", stored, etc… It’s no surprise that new vehicles, regardless of the make and model, leave the showroom with heavy amount of swirls, imperfections and contamination from various climates and environments. 

Once paint is corrected it is extremely important to properly maintain the finish after the service is complete. If you don’t properly wash and dry the vehicle and protect the shine, you can easily put all those swirls and scratches back into your paint in just a few washes. Let Rhythm and Detail take all the worry out of having your vehicle look its best.
