The term paint correction?
Here comes one of a couple of questions that I have. I guess you can call this and the other questions that I have a bitch session Q&A. I will start a new post for each question. I am open to constructive criticism, but don't be too mean though. I thought what better platform to ask these questions, but to ask fellow professionals and DIY detail enthusiasts.
Is it me or is the term paint correction becoming to loosely used in the industry? I see a lot of "Detailers" using the term on craigslist and instagram. Their claiming to do a 3 step paint correction in 3 to 4 hours or they are on their 4th vehicle of the day. As far as I can tell there is only 1 or 2 people working on the car and only charging about $250-$300 on average. The only way I see a full correction being done that fast is if you have a team of people on that car. I see problems with both scenarios. "Correction" work that fast I see as a basic polish or an extensive one for that matter but not true correction. to bring SOME shine back and in the process remove some swirls and scratches claiming that correction has been done.
As for my self depending on the level of correction needed it takes at least a full 10 to 12 hours to do a "basic" correction or can go to the 3,4,5 day time frame if you have all the tools. Or am I just terribly slow.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
