No Matter the Age of a Vehicle, Paint Correction is Necessary

Even if you just pulled off the lot in a vehicle with an odometer reading ‘zero’, the paint correction package available through Knox Mobile Detailing can enhance your finish! Paint defects vary greatly, and can include simple light scratches here and there from hazards found in your own garage to an excessive buildup of swirl marks after years of harsh and inappropriate washing techniques.


Fixing these discrepancies and restoring your original finish gloss requires critical thinking and an expertise only accomplished by a highly trained detailer. If your automobile’s paint is riddled with defects, discrepancies, and surface stains, there is no other way to revive the once lustrous, deep gloss that it had in years past. The candy-like glow that perfect paint has is almost an optical illusion in a way - There appears to be a depth to paintwork that doesn’t have a scratch or paint chip flattening or dulling its glory.


More traditionally common than new vehicles, older vehicles can be completely rejuvenated with quality vehicle paint correction, like unearthing a diamond. Here at Knox Mobile Detailing of Carlsbad, California, we have extensive experience in a variety of make and model automobiles, correcting everything from banged up daily drivers to nearly pristine sports cars. The road to automotive paint perfection begins with paint correction, so get started with a FREE quick quote today!

The Knox Mobile Detailing Paint Correction Process - Simplified

Complete Exterior Detailing

We cannot give you an adequate price or beautifully restored end product if we cannot see what we are faced with. This is why we perform a complete exterior vehicle detailing service prior to paint correction, which includes a two-bucket hand wash to remove surface contamination and a clay bar decontamination process to completely lift all dirt and grime right down to the molecule.

Assessment of Your Finish

Once your automobile’s painted surfaces are completely clean and free of distracting dirt and cloudy dust, we can better assess the actual defects and finish discrepancies that need our attention via paint correction. Under an LED shop light, we reveal and document any swirl marks, light scratches, and other surface discrepancies that plague your finish, developing a plan of attack that restores your ride.

Polishing the Paintwork

Now is where the real work begins! At Knox Mobile Detailing, we utilize a cutting compound during the first stage and then follow it up with buffing. This has been created to level off your clear coat and essentially erase any defects and discrepancies. Keep in mind, different levels of paint correction will require different levels of cutting and compounding to adequately remove what defects are present.

The Jeweling Process

To remove the haze left behind by the cutting and buffing stages, we apply polish and utilize specific pads to bring out a gloss that reflects tremendous depth and luster. This stage is also referred to as ‘finish polishing’ or ‘jeweling’, which brings your ride across the finish line and into the realm of untouchable paint perfection!
