My Car is New—Do I Need Paint Correction?
You’ve just driven off the dealership lot in your brand-new car, the paint gleaming under the sun, and everything feels perfect. But as perfect as it seems, you might wonder: “Do I need paint correction on my new car?” The answer might surprise you.
Why Paint Correction for a New Car?
Your car, although fresh from the dealership, is not in factory-new condition. Unlike our mobile phones, cars do not come sealed in a box or bubble wrap. During its journey to you, your car may have been exposed to various conditions that can cause minor imperfections in the paint. These include: - Swirl Marks: Caused by improper washing or drying techniques at the dealership. - Buffer Trails: Leftover marks from quick polishing jobs before your car was handed to you during the pre-delivery process. - Surface Contaminants: Tiny particles of dust, dirt, or industrial fallout that settle on the paint during transportation or storage. Nine out of 10 of these imperfections are hardly visible due to the dealership-applied wax, which temporarily masks and fills most of the defects, making your car look shiny and most imperfections invisible to the naked eye.
What happen if you leave the wax untreated for very long time :
Leaving the wax untreated on your car for a long time will definitely lead to trouble. As a dust magnet, the layer of wax will accumulate dirt sometimes can feel sticky, and if exposed to sunlight and rain, it can seriously damage your car's clear coat. This can result in issues such as unsmooth surface, etching, water spots, hazing, loss of gloss, discolouration, and even paint cracking.
The Benefits of Paint Correction
Paint correction is a meticulous process that removes imperfections and restores the paint to its true, flawless state. Consider it essential, even for a new car, for the following reasons:
Enhanced Shine: Correcting paint imperfections allows the true colour and gloss of your car’s paint to shine through.
Preparation for Protection: Paint correction creates a perfect surface for applying protective layers like ceramic coatings or paint protection film (PPF), ensuring they bond correctly and last longer.
Without paint correction, any sort of protection or film applied to the car sits on top of the contamination/dirt layer.
Ceramic Coating : This can cause the defect become more visible after ceramic coating , the ceramic coating to fail in a very short period of time, or you're basically protecting the defect or contamination layer, which could end up causing damage to the car and costing more to fix.
When applying the PPF, you are essentially overlaying it on the contamination. With PPF, you will certainly notice all the contamination that will begin to bubble out significantly within 2-3 weeks of application.
