Cadillac CTSV gets Multi-stage Correction.

CALL (210) 863-1633

This is the second 2009 Cadillac CTSV that came in for an evaluation on paint correction. The condition of this vehicle was a little rough for its age. The multi-stage paint correction process on this one is going to take some time considering the finish . Our multi-stage correction utilizes proper polishing techniques along with the best polishes/compounds to create a swirl free finish. This picture below is after our decontamination wash and clay bar treatment. Out in the sun you can see the swirling which has been cause by improper maintenance. We will fully correct the paint then give proper maintenance advice so they can keep the vehicle looking good for years to come.

Our Multi-stage correction services usually include extensive polishing over 25+ hours from start to finish. Prices of Paint Correction will depend on difficulty, severity of paint imperfections, and time spent on the vehicle. This process will result in a flawless finish.
