Getting Ready for Permanent Paint Protection in Charlotte, North Carolina

Perhaps the most vital (and overlooked) step in applying permanent automotive paint protection is what happens before any film or coating touches paint.

Here's the problem.

The moment you turn the key in the ignition and roll out of the garage, you’re up against a host of threats.

Rocks. Road debris. Bird droppings. Bug splatter. UV rays. Acid rain. Tree sap. The list goes on and on.

The road fights against the look and quality of your car’s paint.

Here's the solution.

The solution to this is installing automotive paint protection, such as PPF near you and ceramic coating near you.

Paint protection of Charlotte vehicles is what we specialize in. We also specialize in window tinting near you.

The Process of Installing Paint Protection Near You:

Prepping for paint protection.

Just think about it: Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coatings are long-term solutions, up to 10 years. Here’s what that means: Whatever your car’s paint looks like before protection is what it will look like for the next decade.

You could put the most stalwart defense on your car’s paint, but if the paint underneath is unsightly, what’s the point?

So what goes into prepping automotive paint for permanent protection?

We break the process down into two phases:

  1. Car Decontamination
  2. Paint Correction

Phase 1: Car Decontamination Services

Before paint correction, the first phase of preparation is decontamination. In this phase, we ensure that all contaminants are removed from the vehicle’s surface.

The phase includes multiple sub-steps, and may vary depending on the needs of the vehicle. It will often begin with ferrous oxide dissolving spray in order to remove iron particles that may have bonded with the vehicle’s paint.

We then will move to a foam bath and hand-wash. Foaming exfoliates surface contaminants, allowing us to clean the exterior without having to scrub into the paint.

The final step of decontamination is often a meticulous clay barring process. Rubbing the surface with a clay bar removes any remaining embedded contaminants, such as rail dust, brake dust, or industrial fallout.

It will typically begin with a hand-wash to remove larger contaminants, followed by a meticulous claying of surfaces to remove smaller contaminants.

Phase 2: Paint Correction Services & Car Polishing Services in Charlotte

What Is Automotive Paint Correction in Charlotte, NC?

Paint correction in Charlotte, NC is the process by which we polish your car’s paint to improve its luster. During this process, and after the surface has been washed and decontaminated, the finish is machine-polished, often with a dual-action polisher that utilizes different levels of abrasive polishing creams to eliminate defects in the finish. The most common imperfections addressed during this paint correction process are swirl marks and holograms.  

During the paint correction process, fine scratches from car washes and improper washing techniques that have marred the surface, and unsightly water spots are eliminated.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” for paint correction, giving rise to various levels of refinement.

After removing all surface contaminants, we correct any paint defects, typically through a multi-stage polish. Paint defects can include swirl marks, chemical etch marks, and small scratches. These are the kind of defects that, if unaddressed, will severely limit the depth and clarity of a car’s paint after it is protected.

Why Your Car Needs Decontamination & Paint Correction in Charlotte, NC (Even if It’s Brand New)

When we start talking about the preparation process, people often state, “But my car is brand-new. The paint is already clean and perfect.”

This is a myth.

We have never had a car come into our shop with perfect paint. That’s because paint defects start occurring the moment the vehicle’s factory paint is finished and cured.

Especially if your vehicle has spent any time at a dealership, it will have significant paint defects.

A dealer’s lot is not a happy place for a car’s paint. Your dealership has dozens of cars in their possession. They are often being stored outside and exposed to the elements. They are there to be sold, not maintained. So the main objective, when they are cleaned, is speed, not care. If a dealership spent the appropriate amount of time caring for the paint on each car in their lot, they wouldn’t have any time left to sell. That means that just because a car is new, doesn’t mean it will look new.

That’s why, in addition to paint correction in Charlotte, NC, we also offer paint protection film in Charlotte, NC.

The sad reality.

I hope you can see why slapping some paint protection film and ceramic coating for cars on a surface that hasn’t been properly gone through decontamination and paint correction is a recipe for disaster. Here’s the sad part: That’s exactly what many paint protection shops will do. Most won’t take the time to properly decontaminate and correct paint before applying protection.

So if you’re looking for permanent paint protection, such as PPF Charlotte or ceramic coating Charlotte, make sure you do your research on your installer. Ask them how they prepare paint before protecting. Ask them how much experience they have perfecting automotive paint.
