Paint correction
Correction defined by paint condition.
Measured machine polishing at AVP Autopflege near Zurich for wash marks, holograms, oxidation and matte areas, using controlled one-stage or multi-stage correction.
Paint correction
Choose the correction stage from the defect.
Machine polishing can reduce wash marks, holograms, oxidation and other defects by refining a controlled amount of clear coat. The correct stage depends on defect depth and available paint reserve.
We inspect and measure before selecting a one-stage refinement or multi-stage correction. Test sections establish the result before work continues across the vehicle.
When it fits
The paint decides how far correction should go.
Machine polishing fits when defects interrupt the paint image and the surface has enough sound material for responsible correction.
When circular marks dull the reflection.
Controlled correction can reduce the fine damage left by repeated washing.
When light reveals machine trails.
The correct finishing stage restores a calm reflection without temporary fillers.
When protection should follow.
A coating performs best on paint that has been cleaned and refined properly first.
Process
Correction carried out in defined stages.
Analysis, defect correction, fine finishing and final control remain separate so every result can be judged.
Analysis
Paint depth, hardness, defects and previous repairs are assessed panel by panel.
Correction
A suitable compound and pad reduce the identified defects with controlled removal.
Finishing
A finer stage restores clarity and removes haze or machine trails from correction.
Control
The clean paint is inspected under direct light before protection and handover.
Honest assessment
Paint correction has a physical limit.
Damage through the clear coat, matte paint and insufficient paint reserve cannot be treated like ordinary gloss paint. Clear coat removed during correction does not grow back.
We prefer a strong, safe improvement to an over-corrected surface. Any defect that should remain is explained before work starts.
