Frequently Asked Questions

Automotive Paint Correction - Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are some of the common causes of paint defects?

    Automotive paint defects can occur at any time from nearly any variety of hazard or debris. Whether a belt buckle was brushed against your door panel, a rake falls over in your garage and scratches your hood, or swirl marks have accumulated from hand drying the exterior incorrectly over time, all of these issues that our paint correction packages eliminate collect in your ride’s clear coat.

  • Will automotive paint correction eliminate stains from contamination?

    Yes it can! Paint stains from bird droppings, bug splatters, tree sap, or any other type of contamination that caused fading also occurs on your ride’s clear coat. Because automotive paint correction by Imperial Auto Spa uses light, dedicated abrasion techniques to level divots in the clear coat, stains on the surface can be abraded away as well.

  • What changes the price of my paint correction package?

    The quantity of surface defects and more importantly, the severity of those defects can affect both the cost and length of time that our paint correction crew has to work on your car, truck, and SUV. Our prices listed here are starting estimates for average or more taken care of automobiles, and we can provide an accurate quote during the initial inspection at your paint correction appointment.

  • Can I have paint correction done on my new vehicle?

    Absolutely, and we at Imperial Auto Spa encourage it! Even if your brand-new ride has never known a scratch, swirl, or other paint discrepancies, a traditional factory clear coat is often lackluster in nature. Our Missoula, Montana auto detailers will lightly buff and polish your finish, creating a clearer, more even consistency across it which in turn reveals more detail, depth, and richness in your paint. We also suggest you follow this up with a ceramic coating or clear bra to enhance it further!
