PAINT CORRECTION

Compound is the use of abrasive compounds to remove or diminish imperfections in a vehicle's paint surface. It is a step in the paint correction process aimed at addressing more severe defects such as deep scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, and other types of damage. 

 Compounding is typically followed by finer polishing steps to refine the finish and achieve a high level of clarity and gloss. The overall goal of compounding is to restore the paint to a smoother and more flawless condition, improving the appearance of the vehicle. 

  Polishing brings out the shine and luminance of the vehicle's paint, giving it a glossy and well-maintained appearance. This can significantly improve the overall aesthetics of the car.  Over time, a vehicle's paint can develop imperfections such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Polishing helps to remove or minimize these imperfections, resulting in a smoother and more flawless finish.  Sun exposure and environmental factors can cause a vehicle's paint to fade over time. Polishing can restore the color and vibrancy of faded paint, making the car look newer.  Oxidation occurs when the top layer of a vehicle's paint reacts with oxygen in the air, leading to a dull and chalky appearance. Polishing creates a protective barrier that helps prevent oxidation, preserving the integrity of the paint.  Polishing not only removes imperfections but also smoothens the surface of the paint. This smooth surface is less prone to accumulating dirt and contaminants, making the car easier to clean.
