Common Myths About Paint Correction

How do you determine the level of paint correction my vehicle needs? 

At Thaitan Glossworks, we perform a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s paintwork to assess its condition. This follows an exterior detailing service to make sure all defects are visible. We look for common issues like swirl marks, surface scratches, and even stains or oxidation. Based on this evaluation, we recommend a specific paint correction service tailored to your vehicle. Newer vehicles might only need a light correction, while older vehicles or those with significant wear may require more advanced, multi-step processes to achieve the best results.

Will paint correction remove all types of surface scratches? 

Paint correction is highly effective at removing light to moderate surface scratches, swirls, and other imperfections in the clear coat. However, deeper scratches that have penetrated down to the paint layer may not be completely removed. In such cases, we will discuss options with you, including the possibility that your vehicle may need touch-up paint or other auto body services outside of paint correction.

How long does paint correction take? 

The time required for paint correction depends on the extent of the imperfections present in your clear coat. This also dictates the level of paint correction needed. A light, single-step correction service can often be completed in a few hours, while a more detailed, multi-step correction may take a full day or in some cases, longer. During your initial paint correction consultation, we will provide a clear timeline based on your vehicle’s needs.

Will paint correction damage my vehicle’s paint? 

No, it will not! Professional paint correction services performed by our experts at Thaitan Glossworks are completely safe for your vehicle’s paint. Our trained team of technicians use precise cutting, buffing, and polishing techniques in conjunction with high-quality tools to carefully remove only the defects in your vehicle’s clear coat. This process effectively revitalizes surface gloss and clarity without compromising the integrity of your actual paint.

Achieving Flawless Paint Gloss and Clarity


Our mission with vehicle paint correction is to ensure that each automobile receives the attention it deserves. We must first assess exactly what is going on with your vehicle’s clear coat. This is why our paint correction services start with a detailing service and evaluation of your paint’s condition. For newer vehicles, lighter correction is often sufficient to address minor imperfections inflicted at the dealership or during manufacturing. For older vehicles or those with significant wear and tear from years of use, we offer intricate, multi-step paint correction services to revitalize its surfaces. Each paint correction service is customized to your vehicle, ensuring that it receives only the care it truly needs.

Learn More About Paint Correction - Myths and Facts


  • Myth 1: Paint correction is only for old or damaged vehicles

    This is a common misconception and we want to put it to bed, especially for our customers that are new to paint correction. While paint correction is often used to revitalize older and more road-worn vehicles, it is also beneficial for newer ones. Even new vehicles can have imperfections caused by improper washing, transport, or dealership prep. Paint correction from Thaitan Glossworks ensures your new vehicle’s finish starts in perfect condition, ready for protection from PPF or enhanced gloss with a ceramic coating.

  • Myth 2: Paint correction will thin or damage my vehicle’s clear coat

    This is also an unfounded assumption about paint correction. Just because we use cutting techniques in our services does not mean it will unnecessarily thin your vehicle’s clear coat. The professionals who perform paint correction services at Thaitan Glossworks know how to work with your vehicle. Our paint correction packages are completely safe. We use precise methods to gently remove only the defective top layer of your vehicle’s clear coat, leaving a smooth and glossy surface. The process does not harm your vehicle’s paint but rather brings out its original brilliance.

  • Myth 3: Paint correction does not make a noticeable difference

    The difference after paint correction is astounding. Swirls, scratches, and a variety of surface dullness vanish, leaving behind a surface with unparalleled clarity and gloss. This newfound level of clear coat perfection will make your actual paint look even more impressive than ever before! Even for vehicles that seem to already be perfect, paint correction can significantly enhance their appearance, making the paintwork stand out in truly impressive aesthetic ways.
