Paint correction treatments make the world of difference in the appearance of your vehicle. However, with so many different tools and products available on the market from the best brands in Northern Ireland, it can be overwhelming to choose the right products for your specific needs.
We will help you find the best paint correction toolkit in Northern Ireland, covering everything from the basics of paint correction to the specific tools and products that we recommend.
But first, what is paint correction?
Vehicle paint correction is the process of removing surface imperfections for your car’s paint and bodywork. This includes swirl marks, scratches, water spots and oxidation. Paint correction will remove these imperfections, restoring your paintwork to its original, flawless finish.
Paint correction is an extremely beneficial treatment for your vehicle for many, many reasons.
- Restore the appearance of your car. Paint correction removes the surface imperfections mentioned above, leaving your vehicle looking newer and more visually appealing.
- Increased resale value. It is no secret that a car with flawless paint is worth more on the resale market than one with visible marks. By doing paint correction, you will increase the resale value of your car and potentially make more money when reselling.
- Paintwork protection. By removing contaminants and adding a protective layer of wax or sealant, paint correction treatments protect your car’s paintwork from additional damage from UV rays, acid rain and a range of environmental factors.
- Saves money. Rather than paying for a costly paint job or a full-body wrap, paint correction is a more affordable way to restore the appearance of your car and protect its value in the long term.
- A confidence boost. Having a car with flawless paint can boost your confidence and help you drive with pride.
Getting started with your paint correction toolkit
Before getting stuck into the process of your paint correction toolkit, we recommend washing your car thoroughly to remove excess dirt and debris that could scratch your paintwork during the correction process.
After this initial wash, you should carefully inspect your car’s body and paintwork to determine the extent of any imperfections and to identify the areas that need to be corrected.
Car Polishers
A great way to buff out some of the imperfections of your car’s paintwork is to use a polisher. Using a machine polisher and a series of different pads and compounds will help to gradually smooth and polish your bodywork. This will remove scratches and smears on your paintwork.
At Motorsport & Spares in Ballymena, we have a range of polishing machines available to purchase. From Dual Action Polishers to Cordless and Rotary Polishers, we will help you find the best machine to suit your needs.
Wax Sealants
Wax Sealants are made of natural or synthetic wax that is applied to your car’s paint to create a protective layer. The wax will fill any smaller, hard-to-see imperfections in your car’s paint. This will make it smoother and more reflective.
These products are also great because they protect the paintwork from UV rays and environmental factors that will cause damage over time. Wax sealants are relatively easy to apply and can provide protection for several months.
We offer a great range of wax products for your car’s paintwork protection.
- Chemical Guys Paste Wax
- ValetPro Mad Wax
- Alchemy Ceramic Paste Wax
Paint Correction Accessories
Alongside the main products for paintwork protection, there are several accessories that can be used to polish your car’s paintwork to help you achieve a flawless finish.
One of the most important accessories is a polishing pad, which is used in conjunction with a machine polisher to apply compounds to the paint. Each type of polishing pad comes with its own unique properties and levels of abrasiveness. Our expert team of motorsport enthusiasts can help you find the right pads for your needs.
As well as this, we also supply excellent microfibre towels and bars to help you achieve a flawless, showroom-quality finish on your paintwork every time.
