Paint correction can be a bit of a misnomer. When we perform it on a vehicle, we are not correcting the paint, but rather restoring the clear coat. All modern cars have a multi-layer system. First, you have what the vehicle is constructed of typically aluminum, steel, or some combination of both. Then you have the primer to receive the base coat which is the actual color of your vehicle. To protect your base coat, you have a clear coat layer on top of that. Over time, this clear coat can become damaged. This typically shows informs of scratches and swirls. These scratches dull the look of your vehicle.
By removing the clear coat, we can achieve one flat surface and the vehicle will look stunning! A polish is going to restore your car and bring back that deep color of your vehicle, and our ceramic coating is going to make sure that finish stays like that for years to come.

This package is for those seeking as close to perfection as possible. Many vehicles have RIDS (random, isolated, deep scratches). RIDS most commonly occurs when something makes contact with your vehicle. We see most often with a tree branch brushing across a vehicle, but any sort of heavy contact with the vehicle can cause RIDS.
With the heavy paint correction coatings package, we can get rid of RIDS and bring your vehicle as close to perfection as we can.
Wet Sanding
We use sandpaper of a specific grit with ample water and sand down the surface of the paint. When we achieve the desired results, we move on to finer and finer grit sandpaper to remove any scratches that were inflicted in the process of removing RIDS. Our compound will remove any leftover scratches from wet sanding, and the polish will remove any imperfections from the compounding process.
Jeweling Paint
Once all of this is complete, it is time to jewel the paint. Jeweling paint involves fine polish with very little cutting ability at a very low speed. We want to achieve a perfectly flat surface to bring out as much gloss as possible.
Apply 10-Year Ceramic Coating
At the end of the process, we apply our 10-year ceramic coating, which is guaranteed to give you a decade of protection.

Usually, no, but it depends.
First, it depends on how deep the scratches and swirls are in the vehicle. If they are in the base coat then no amount of paint correction will fix that issue. At that point, the only remedy is to repaint the affected area.
Second, every vehicle is unique. Some have “softer” clear coats and others have “harder” clearcoats.
Third, it dpeends on the desired service. It is difficult to give a precise estimate, but typically polishing removes between 50-70% of defects while compound and polishing removes between 75 and 95% . Either way, you will be left with an astounding finish.
It depends on the vehicle. Most vehicles will read a paint depth measurement of 100 – 200 microns (one millionth of a meter) with the clearcoat composing anywhere from 38 – 50 microns. Paint correction can remove anywhere from 0 – 12 microns.
At Fort Worth Auto Detail, we always take multiple paint depth measurements to make sure it is safe to perform the service.
No, you don’t have to register your coating warranty. At Fort Worth Auto Detail, we take care of everything for you – from installing the coating to uploading the record to your vehicle’s CarFax.
What does this mean to you? First, it means a huge profit for you if you ever decide to move on from your vehicle. The potential buyer will be able to see that you have taken good care of the vehicle and how much longer the coating will last.
Second, if you had a car wreck, insurance will see the coating documented on CarFax and will fix all damages on your vehicle, including having the coating reinstalled.
Yes, it is worth the investment. It adds value to your car, make maintaining your car easier, and provide you with a like-new look to your vehicle.

If you want to maintain it yourself, we highly recommend hand washing. You want a PH neutral soap and to avoid anything that says wash and wax because it can conflict or mask the properties of your coating.
If it ever looks like your coating is not performing as it should, you probably need to wash it. Coatings, if not maintained, can clog up and not perform to their highest level.
