What’s the Difference? Defining Paint Correction Terms
Paint correction isn’t just a single step. It’s a process that brings out your car’s best finish. Here’s a look at the main techniques we use.
Cutting
Cutting is the most aggressive step in paint correction. It uses compounds to remove deeper scratches, oxidation, and heavy imperfections from your paint. This step helps level the surface and prepares it for finer polishing.
Polishing
Polishing comes after cutting and focuses on refining the paint. It removes lighter swirls and haze left behind by cutting. Polishing brings clarity to the surface, so the paint looks incredible.
Jeweling
Jeweling is the final step in high end paint refinement. This ultra fine polishing process maximizes depth, gloss, and clarity by correcting micro-haze that is leftover from earlier compounding and polishing steps. The result is a wet, ultra glossy finish worthy of high end vehicles and paint jobs.
Wet Sanding
Wet sanding is a precise technique for removing severe imperfections and orange peel in the paint. It involves using fine-grit sandpaper with water to level the surface before polishing. Wet sanding creates an ideal base for polishing and jeweling, especially on high-end or damaged paint.
