We Correct Another Shop’s “Paint Correction” Mistake on a Mustang GT350

CALL (210) 863-1633

Every car detailer likes to think that they are a “paint correction specialist” and that they can restore your weathered or scratched and swirled paint. However, proper paint correction takes time and experience. Done improperly and you can create more damage than you started with.

This 2017 Ford Mustang GT350 came to us for consultation after another shop tried to polish our the swirls on it via their “Paint Correction Methods”. To correct this “correction”, we had to put in over 40 hours of polishing to resurrect this beautiful black paint. After the paint was fully and properly corrected, we protected this finish with our exclusive CQuartz Finest paint coating. We coated the entire vehicle surface including the wheels, glass and interior.

The first thing we needed to do was get the car completely clean and decontaminated. This starts with a nice foam bath to loosen all the dirt.

Now we can get a good look at the actual condition of the paint. In this case, things did not look good. From scratches and swirl marks to a haze over the paint, this finish had seen better days.
