Three stage paint correction

Imagine for a moment, You just spent between ten thousand dollars and thirty thousand dollars to have a custom paint job done on a car you’ve been restoring for years. You’ve spent years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars carefully curating parts that are either no longer being made or parts that aren’t available in the United States. Many people who are restoring a foreign classic car find themselves making numerous trips around the globe in search of the smallest, most miniscule of parts in order to have a perfectly restored and factory original car. You’ve finally put it all together, you’ve got it running, and now it’s time for the final step, you have the car painted the color you’ve been imagining it to be through the entire process, you go pick the car up from the painter after months of prep and paint work, expecting it to be the same paint to sample color you picked out a long time ago.

And to your surprise it is not at all the same color. Maybe you choose to live with it, but most would choose to find the solution after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to have the vehicle perfect the way they imagined. As you begin to further inspect the vehicle you begin to find that the paint isnt as shiny as you’d hoped, you see things like sanding marks, heavy layers of orange peel around the edges, and radome dull spots in the clearcoat, and hologram marks from polishers that where a polisher may have gotten the paint too hot. What I just described, is our perfect customer for our Stage Three Paint Correction, one of our carefully curated Kansas City Car Detailing Services. This Process can take between one to two weeks from start to finish, and it is exactly what your show car needs to go on to win a concourse level show that will have your car on magazine covers and featured on car media outlets all around the world. So how do we make your paint look so illustrious with our Kansas City Car Detailing Stage Three Paint Correction? Let’s begin! First task is to locate the nearest water source at your home or facility will be performing this paint correction at.

Next we hook our 2100 pressure washer up to the water spigot and begin hand washing your car using our two bucket, grit guard method while keeping the entire exterior lubricated with our snow foam cannon that sprays a thick layer of foam on your car, truck or SUV. While washing the exterior we begin inspecting the areas on the paint that will need the most attention. When performing any of our Kansas City Car Detailing paint correction services we use the time hand washing to look the vehicle’s paint over extensively to find things like orange peak, micro marring, excessive buffer trails, scratches, and sanding marks missed by the paint shop. After we finish washing the car we begin drying the car using a combination of our high output air blow dryer and our extremely plush kevlar drying microfiber towels.

This drying process is carefully done to make sure we remove any standing water in the door jambs, door handle crevices, grill, side mirror gaps, and wheel spokes. Our goal when drying the car off is to make it as dry and water free as possible. Now we can begin the paint correction process! We pull the car inside your garage or shop that we will be using for paint correction, and we begin setting our warm lights and cool lights up all the way around the car that’ll begin to expose all of those imperfections that are truly hiding the vehicle’s true finish! Our goal at Bespoke Refinement when performing one of our Kansas City Car Detailing services is to ensure there is enough light around the car to show every imperfection in the clear coat finish. After plugging in our Rupes Polisher we start by cutting through the clear coat using a highly coarse pad and an extremely strong cutting compound to smooth down the car’s entire surface. This process only works if you correct every inch of the car. Once we have heavily cut the entire surface of the vehicle we use our mobile air compressor unit to blow all of the compound dust out of all the cracks and crevices to ensure we have a smooth surface to compound the surface again, this time with a lighter cutting compound to achieve more depth in the paint finish. Paint Correction is a lot like refinishing wood, you have to sand it numerous times to get it perfectly smooth.

At Bespoke Automotive Refinement, no matter which one of our Kansas City Car Detailing services you choose, we pride ourselves on making your car, truck, or SUVs paint as smooth as possible! After we have compounded the paint a second time we pressure wash the car a second time to remove all of the built up compound dust and make the car as clean as possible before the final polishing stage. It is very important to have your cars exterior as clean as possible before polishing the paint! Once we have washed the car and redried it we begin polishing it one last time with the goal of adding as much depth and gloss to your paint as possible. This process can take some time as we make sure to test several different combinations of polishes and pads to find the best fit for your vehicle’s paint. Once we are finished polishing we begin applying whatever choice of paint protection sealant or coating you choose. When trusting us for your Kansas City Car Detailing needs we make sure to offer several different ceramic coating options that allow both years of long lasting protection to the paint and different pricing that fit your budget. Once the vehicle is ceramic coated it is extremely important that the coating dry for at least 24 hours. Any water, dust, dirt, or grime that touches the coating while it is still drying can cause the coating to have a permanent spot.
