Transformational Efforts for Maximum Paint Gloss

Unbeknownst to most drivers in the West Covina and Arcadia, California area, your vehicle experiences various scratches, nicks, marks, and degradation throughout its life. Whether it is caused by pebbles on the highway or any other debris that might be kicked up while driving around our area or swirl marks and spider webbing from public car washes of years past, your paint clarity and vehicle’s aesthetic is an at-risk characteristic. But despite the fact that paint defects and discrepancies are a fact of life, these can all be remedied with the top-tier paint correction efforts provided by the professional mobile auto detailing unit here at Car Bath Mobile Detailing!

Cutting Away Defects to Make Room for Paint Perfection

Beginning with full exterior detailing, we remove all contaminants from your paint’s surface such as dirt, tree sap, and other common grime. We then follow that with a light cutting compound that abrades away a thin layer of clear coat to remove any oxidation, light to moderate scratching, nicks, and other defects. This evens out your automobile’s clear coat in a way that it likely has never been before, giving you a continuously smooth surface all around your automobile. Next, a complete buffing and polishing procedure is implemented to give you incomparable paint clarity and showroom shine while removing any other minor marring.


This is far more than just paint correction! The Car Bath Mobile Detailing paint enhancement process returns your ride to its original, like-new condition with a surface clarity that rivals when you originally bought it! Let us give you the best in automotive paint enhancement and maximum customer service by calling us today at (626) 470-7359. Our experience and background will allow us to answer any questions you have and heed the special requests you may make about your car, truck, or SUV.

Walking Through Our Specialized Process of Paint Correction

Full Decontamination with Exterior Detailing

Swirl marks, oxidation, etching, and marring are crafty characteristics. They like to hide beneath dirt and grime that has collected on your clear coat, masking their severity. To expose these defects for what they really are, we begin with our exterior detailing service to give your automobile a full, proper decontamination. Your ride will be completely clear of any loose, residual mess when we are through, revealing the hiding spots of those pesky defects and discrepancies to allow us to remedy them all.

Comprehensive Inspection

Once spider webbing, swirl marks, light scratches, and nicks are no longer hidden under excessive surface dirt and grime, we go over every nook and cranny of the exterior of your vehicle throughout our meticulous process, identifying where each and every defect in your paint lies. From there, we create a solid plan of attack to properly address those issues with your clear coat. We strategize on our best methods and plan out the equipment and techniques that will be necessary to return your automobile to its original, like-new condition.

Compound Cutting for Defect Removal

Let the paint correcting begin! Once we have identified each defect and the severity of them, we apply a cutting compound and light abrasion pad to the areas of your clear coat where these defects lie. The compound abrades away the thin top layer of your clear coat, removing an extremely fine amount where most defects reside. This smooths out the surface of the clear coat so that the defect is no longer there. What your ride is left with is a nice, even surface throughout your painted panels where it will seem as if the discrepancy never occurred.

Polish, Buff, and Finish

Cutting compounds often do leave a sort of haze behind on the paint due to the residue of clear coat cut away, but we at Car Bath Mobile Detailing know just how to get rid of it. With our buffing and polishing professional techniques, we restore the glossy appearance and thorough shine to the painted panels that have been through our cutting stage. Your vehicle’s paint will look pristine with high-quality showroom quality! The final, optional step is to apply our ceramic coating to those surfaces, designed to protect against stains caused by the various contaminants.

Myths About Automotive Paint Correction Packages - Solved

Myth 1: You can complete automotive paint correction at home

There may be some forms of auto paint correction kits available to DIY taskers aimed at the assumption you can fix minor imperfections, professional paint correction is the only REAL way to tackle those tough defects and discrepancies permanently. With the years of experience, professional skill, and tested techniques and products available at Car Bath Mobile Detailing, your paintwork will have that new-car appearance and deeper surface clarity for a full automotive aesthetic improvement.

Myth 2: Paint correction is a quick process

While not a terribly lengthy process, professional paint correction does take a few hours to properly complete. This allows time for complete exterior decontamination, comprehensive inspection to identify all affected areas, expert cutting, and thorough polishing and buffing for paint clarity and restored gloss. Full paint enhancement from Car Bath Mobile Detailing lasts on average about 4 hours, so you will have your ride back in pristine condition and back to you in half a day. Remember: We do it all right at your own home location!

Myth 3: Paint correction is permanent

When you first bought your pride and joy, it was brand new with minimal to no defects. Throughout its use, it likely has developed swirl marks from thoughtless washes, nicks and dings from kicked up road debris, and stains from bird droppings and bug splatters. Life after paint correction is the same. Even after your ride is returned to its pristine condition from professional paint enhancement, marring and other issues can still occur as you continue to drive it. It is important to have your ride detailed regularly and use sealants to maintain the results. We also offer top-tier ceramic coating installation for further protection.
