Automotive Paint Correction FAQs

Can every scratch be polished out?

No. Deep defects that pass through the available paint film may require touch-up or refinishing rather than further polishing.

Why is a test spot important?

It confirms the minimum effective process before time and material are committed to the whole vehicle.

Can polishing damage paint?

Poor technique, excessive heat or overly aggressive correction can remove unnecessary paint. Use trained methods and appropriate inspection.
