Paint Correction Benefits at Glisten


Removal of Surface Defects

Light scratches that have not penetrated the actual vehicle paint are comprehensively unappealing. Micro scratches and swirls are the source culprit that makes your new car looked used by obscuring the clarity of your vehicle's actual paint color. If these typical surface imperfections are neglected, they can eventually worsen or even contribute to paint degradation that makes its way past the initial clear coat surface. Our team of paint correction experts at Glisten are highly skilled in evenly leveling your vehicle’s clear coat through light abrasion, effectively removing these issues and exposing new depths of paint not previously seen.

Maximize Aesthetic Vehicle Value

Imagine being in the position of a buyer searching for a new vehicle. You would not want to invest in one that has been completely marred by numerous scratches and swirls, which detract from its inherent beauty and cause it to look far more used than it is. Our range of paint correction packages here at Glisten is designed to address these imperfections, revitalize the value of your vehicle, and even uncover more value that was likely hidden beneath defects for a while. Whether you are considering selling your vehicle or simply want to enhance its visual appeal, we are here to assist you!

Paint Enhancement and Clarity Revitalization

The importance of vehicle aesthetics goes beyond what many might initially perceive when it comes to determining your vehicle's value. A vehicle adorned with scratches, nicks, swirls, oxidation, etching, stains, and various other imperfections not only diminishes the driving experience but also has a substantial impact on its overall worth in the used vehicle market. By having Glisten’s paint correction packages correct your vehicle's clear coat, you are making a valuable investment in both the visual appeal of your ride and its future resale value down the road.

What Does Paint Correction Include?


Deep Exterior Wash

Before we correct paint, we have to first decontaminate it. It is absolutely imperative for our detailing team to carry out a comprehensive exterior detailing service during every paint correction package at Glisten. We remove all natural and human-made elements that obscure your vehicle's finish and its current condition, enabling us to accurately identify all the scratches, swirl marks, and various blemishes that currently plague your paint. From a two-bucket hand wash to claying, your ride will sparkle for us!

Comprehensive Examination of Paint Condition

Our trained team here at Glisten will then conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your vehicle's painted panels. We meticulously search for any discernible flaws in the clear coat both noticeable and more subtle. This initial assessment serves as the foundation upon which our paint correction team builds a precise plan of action custom to remedy the imperfections of your vehicle.

The Paint Correction Stage

Now the transformation truly takes place with your vehicle! Here at Glisten, we employ a delicate abrasive compound and a meticulous cutting technique to systematically refine your clear coat, concentrating on the specific imperfections pinpointed during our thorough LED inspection. Our cutting methods are executed with the utmost precision and diligence coupled with high-end equipment. The Glisten guarantee is that we not only eliminate deeper flaws and signs of wear in your finish but also deliver an unmatched experience that attains the paint results you previously thought impossible.

Refine, Smooth, and Finalize the Vehicle

Once the cutting phase is successfully executed, the ultimate step in obtaining that coveted new vehicle appearance involves a meticulous buffing, polishing, and jeweling. We bring years of skill with these steps here at Glisten, concentrating on individual sections of your vehicle to eliminate any residual minor scratches and faint haze left behind during cutting. The outcome is a flawlessly smooth clear coat that accentuates your vehicle's paint detail, depth, and color.
