Paint Correction

 

Your car’s exterior endures a lot from Minnesota’s challenging weather, including dirt, snow, heat, and cold, which can wear down the paint over time. At Yelo Autosports, we specialize in paint correction and buffing to restore your vehicle’s finish to a near-showroom shine. Our process begins with a thorough wash and clay bar treatment to remove all contaminants like dirt, iron, and tar. We then use advanced buffing techniques to eliminate swirl marks and light scratches, ensuring a smooth, glossy surface that enhances your car’s visual appeal.

PAINT CORRECTION FAQ's
What is Paint Correction? +
Paint correction is a multi-stage process of machine polishing that removes defects, scratches, and stains from a vehicle’s clear coat. Unlike fillers, which only hide imperfections temporarily, paint correction permanently eliminates them by leveling the paint surface for a smooth, flawless finish. It prepares your car for protection, ensuring the best results.
Does paint correction fix rock chips? +
No, paint correction does not repair rock chips. It focuses on optimizing the existing paint by removing surface imperfections but does not add new paint. For rock chips, we offer touch-up paint services at an additional cost to complement our paint correction.
Do new cars need paint correction? +
New cars often benefit from paint correction. Despite being new, vehicles can accumulate imperfections during manufacturing, transport, and handling at dealerships. Paint correction addresses these issues, removing swirls and defects to achieve a perfect finish.
How long does auto paint correction take? +
The duration of paint correction varies based on the vehicle's size, type, and condition. Generally, it takes between six to twelve hours. Each car requires a tailored approach, utilizing different levels of polishing to achieve the desired finish.
Should I apply a ceramic coating after paint correction? +
Yes, applying a ceramic coating after paint correction is highly recommended. Ceramic coatings provide a protective layer that enhances paint durability, makes maintenance easier, and preserves the polished finish for a longer period.
