Measure of Coating Thicknesses
We have ferrous and non-ferrous metal thickness gauges as well as ultra-sonic. Time billed for this service is dependent on needs for scratch removal and/or paint correction. PPA can also provide a full report of coating thickness readings for your future reference.
Paint Correction*
-1 Stage Correction: Medium-cut finishing polish for less expensive, yet brilliant results.
-2 Stage Correction: Medium-cut corrective polish followed by light-cut finishing polish. This service is ideal for coatings that have a build-up of visual imperfections, or for anyone who is willing to spend something extra to really make an impression.
-Full Correction: For those who accept nothing short of absolute perfection even at point blank visual range. We scour every inch of paint to guarantee a 100% perfect finish.**
Clay Treatment (required prior to paint correction)
This is the most important step in the detailing process to preserve the integrity of your clear coat. Despite regular washing, contaminants build up over time and imbed themselves into the surface of the clear coat and can’t be removed without clay or compounding. As time passes, these imbedded contaminants begin to oxidize (corrode) and eat away the area around the contaminant causing irreparable damage to the clear coat in the form of dull patches of paint surrounded by white, chalky flaking.
There is an easy way to find out if you have a build-up of contaminants. After washing your car, get out a plastic sandwich bag and put your hand inside of it. Glide it across the surface of your paint and contaminants in your clear coats surface will be very obvious to the touch.
Removing these contaminants is vital to the longevity of your clear coat. |
