The Hand Wash
The Start Of Detailing
The auto detailing process starts with the car wash. The car wash process in general is the source of most of the aesthetic damage done to a car's paint. This is one of the reasons automatic car washes (brushes) are discouraged by auto detailers. But the hand wash process that is not performed gently and thoughtfully can be just as, or even more, harmful to your paint.
Paint Decontamination
Washing alone cannot remove contamination that has bonded to your paint.
The deep cleansing of the paint is essential to the effectiveness and durability of the wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
Similar to a skin facial treatment, a variety of high-quality procedures are involved in a gentle and methodical exfoliation of the painted surface.
Paint Correction
Polishing and waxing are two different processes.
Polish is used to produce a shine by improving the clarity of your paint.
What Is Paint Correction?
Clarity comes from a level surface.
If your paint looks likes a spider web in direct sunlight, those are swirls and moderate scratches. Those defects can be fixed or improved in the paint correction process.
Paint Correction is the process of removing the defects in your paint (swirls, scratches, water spots, etched stains) by leveling the paint with microscopic abrasives (polish). The average person often does not see the swirls, but may see a loss of clarity in the paint. Most swirls can effectively be removed in a two-step polishing process. The compounding stage is the aggressive first polishing step which is intended to remove defects. The refinement step is often referred to as jeweling or finishing step. The refinement or finishing polishing step removes the damage that the more aggressive step created. Properly removing the defects while also jeweling the surface restores the gloss to the paint. Proper paint correction will take a minimum of several hours and often multiple days.
