Ever found yourself squinting at your car under the sun, wondering how to bring back that showroom sparkle it once had? Or perhaps you've noticed some pesky imperfections marring its once pristine surface.
Well, you're in luck because we're about to take a deep dive into the world of car aesthetics, exploring two game-changing services that could transform your vehicle from "just OK" to "jaw-dropping."
Now, I know what you might be thinking – "Aren't paint correction and car polishing the same thing?"
Well, surprisingly, no. While they both aim to enhance the appearance of your ride, there are some notable differences between the two that every car owner should be aware of. That's why we here at Andrews Auto Care have put together this comprehensive guide to help you make informed decisions when it comes to maintaining your car’s shine. So let's get started!
Spot the Difference
What's Paint Correction Detailing Anyway?
The ultimate facelift for your car’s exterior, meticulously eliminating imperfections from your vehicle's paint.
So, What Are We Talking About?
Scratches: These pop up out of nowhere, with stories of close shaves and near misses.
Swirl Marks: The kind of spirals, spider web looking things you get from those over-enthusiastic, but kind of rough washes.
Oxidation: When your paint looks tired and faded like it’s forgotten its own color.
Other Paint Flaws: These just don’t let your car shine its brightest, from ugly water spots to marks left by birds or trees.
Goal: Making your car look brand spanking new!
Yes, you read that right. After a good session, your car’s paint doesn’t just get better; it looks so perfect, that you’d swear it was just rolled out from the showroom.
What About Car Polishing?
Polish is about giving your car that extra oomph rather than fixing it. It smooths out the top layer of your car’s paint to make it look nice and glossy.
So, What’s the Focus?
General Dullness, that blah look when it's clean but not exactly shining.
Minor Imperfections, those small nicks and marks that aren’t full-blown scratches but still keep your vehicle from looking its best.
Goal: Boosting that shine, depth, and gloss!
This is where the magic happens–taking the paint to a level of shine that makes everyone do a double-take!
So When Do You Need Each Service?
Do you have some visible scratches, swirl marks, or other big imperfections on your car? Paint correction services have got your back. It’s all about making things right–not just adding a bit of shine.
On the flip side, if you’re just looking to amp up the gloss and depth of your car’s paint without fixing serious damage, then professional car paint polishing is your best bet. It’s ideal for cars that are already looking pretty good but could do with a bit more dazzle!
Comparing Processes: Not All Shines Are Created Equal
The Journey of Paint Correction on Cars
Checking It Out
We take a close look at every inch of the paint to spot all the little issues.
Deep Clean Time
Before we get down to the real deal, your car exterior gets a spa day! Yep, a spa-like treat! We give it a good wash, a clay bar treatment- like exfoliating your skin and an iron decon to bring out any remaining impurities in the paint to get rid of dirt and grime, and those annoying contaminants sticking to the surface, getting it ready for what's coming next.
Making It Right
We bring out our polisher and compounds that are carefully chosen to fix those imperfections we found. With some careful and skilled work, we either get rid of those blemishes or make them way less noticeable, making the paint look fresh again.
Sealing the Deal
And for the grand finale? We apply a protective sealant, wrapping it up with that extra layer of protection! Hint: This is also a great time to step up your paints shine and be the envy of your friends with a Ceramic Coating.
The Path to Professional Car Paint Polishing
Cleaning
Like its more intensive counterpart, polishing begins with a comprehensive exterior detail. This initial step ensures that the polishing process works on a clean slate, free from any superficial dirt or debris.
Polishing
Here, the approach shifts to a gentler, less aggressive gear. Using fine abrasives and polishes, the process softly refines the paint's surface. This is less about correcting and more about elevating the gloss, bringing out a depth and shine that makes the paintwork sing under the sunlight.
Protection
Much like in paint correction, this is sealing in the gloss, either through our basic paint sealant, or stepping it up to a full-on ceramic coating. This step creates a barrier that helps maintain a mesmerizing luster against the trials of your daily driving.

Thinking about selling or trading in your car? A car that looks spotless on the outside isn’t just a head-turner; it can also seriously pump up its value in the market.
