Defects out, not filled in.
Correction takes defects out of the clear coat. Swirl marks, buffer trails somebody else left, wash scratches, water spot etching, oxidation. They come out in stages, and what's underneath is your paint reflecting the way it did on the lot. Measured work: the finish goes under specialized lighting first and Edward reads paint depth before anything abrasive touches a panel.
Why it matters here. A glaze fills swirls and looks like a fix for about two washes. Then it rinses out and every mark is still there. Correction changes the surface itself, so it holds until something new damages it. It's also the step before a coating, because a coating is clear and it locks in whatever is under it.
What the appointment looks like. Quoted after Edward sees the paint. The real number depends on the color, how hard the clear coat is, how deep the defects run and how much the panel can safely give up. He'll tell you what percentage will clear and what would take more passes than the paint has in it.
Afterward. Corrected paint needs protecting or it swirls again from the next wash. Most people put a sealant on it or go straight to ceramic.
For swirled dark paint, a car somebody polished badly, or paint being prepped for coating.
Lights on the paint before anything touches it.
Guessing is what produces a bad detail.
The L.A.B., short for The Detailing Learning and Application Building, runs specialized lighting and paint inspection equipment. Defects that are invisible in a driveway show up in seconds under the right light.
For paint correction that decides the process. Paint depth gets read before anything abrasive touches a panel, and Edward will tell you what can safely come off and what cannot.
