Common Myths of Paint Correction - Debunked By Us
Myth 1: For most vehicles, paint correction is unnecessary
Contrary to the belief that paint correction is unnecessary for most vehicles, it actually plays a key role in maintaining and enhancing the look of any vehicle! Our paint correction services at Lightning Detail remove various clear coat imperfections that can degrade the overall look and integrity of your vehicle’s paint. This is how we help extend your vehicle’s life, quality, enhance its value, and aid in improving its visual appeal overall.
Myth 2: You should always get a more aggressive paint correction service
This is what is actually unnecessary. All vehicles are different and their conditions vary greatly. It is a common misconception that a more aggressive paint correction approach will always yield better results. At Lightning Detail, we carefully measure the paint depth to ensure minimal clear coat removal and maximum appearance enhancements. Our tailored approach to paint correction always ensures that we only remove what is necessary, preserving the integrity of your vehicle's exterior overall.
Myth 3: Vehicles that are heading for a car show are the only ones needing correction
Paint correction is beneficial for all vehicles, not just show vehicles or ones that will be on display at a car show. Vehicles driven every day are exposed to the same environmental factors and can experience similar surface degradation. Even vehicles that only get taken out on weekends will also often sustain paint defects and more. Professional paint correction services at Lightning Detail enhances your vehicle's aesthetic and can ultimately help enhance its resale value as well.
