Take a look at your paint on a clear, sunny day. If you see spiderweb-like marks in your paint, you are looking at a common paint defect that is referred to as “spider webbing” or “swirl marks.”
Paint correction is defined as the correction, or removal, of paint defects through several stages of machine compounding and polishing with the ultimate goal of gloss enhancement and surface leveling. Paint defects such as swirls and scratches can be caused in multiple ways. On a microscopic level, these defects create small “hills and valleys” (See Figure Below) in your clear coat. When light rays reach this rough surface, they are skewed or refracted by surface defects, making your finish look dull and lifeless. When these defects are properly removed, the surface will allow light rays to reflect rather than refract, creating amazing gloss.
Our goal is to successfully correct imperfections in your finish while maintaining the integrity of your paint.
