Integrity Auto Detail Addresses Your Paint Defects

For vehicle owners in the St. Louis, Missouri area, it's not unusual to spot mild to moderate defects in your vehicle's clear coat. But for those of us who are passionate about car perfection, these imperfections can be frustrating and disheartening. From swirls and scratches to scrapes and small nicks, even surface oxidation can take away from the pristine look of our beloved vehicles. So don't let these defects bring you down - Integrity Auto Detail is here to help with out professional Paint Enhancement services. Our team is dedicated to revitalizing the original beauty of your vehicle, making it look as good as new, regardless of its age.


Paint Enhancement or Paint Correction is a crucial step that should be taken before applying PPF (paint protection film) and ceramic coating to a vehicle's paint. Without proper Paint Enhancement, any imperfections or marks on the surface will be trapped under the protective layers, making them more visible. However, here at our company, we understand the importance of this 1-step or 2-step process and ensure that it is included in our PPF and Ceramic Coating services. By enhancing the paint's appearance beforehand, we guarantee a flawless finish and long-lasting protection for your vehicle. Our team of professionals uses advanced techniques and high-quality products to ensure your car looks its best while also being protected from daily wear and tear.

Understanding the Paint Enhancement Process

Paint Enhancement is a meticulous and delicate process that involves 1-step or 2-step cutting, buffing, and polishing the vehicle's clear coat to remove mild to moderate imperfections. At Integrity Auto Detail, our experts utilize advanced techniques and tools to ensure precise results so nothing gets removed except those surface issues. For older vehicles, this process can remove long-standing defects, rejuvenating the paintwork to a stunning finish you have long forgotten about! For newer vehicles, Paint Enhancement addresses even the most minor defects that may have occurred during manufacturing or transportation. We ensure you start your new vehicle ownership experience with flawless paint.


Additionally, Paint Correction ensures that the surface is properly prepped for other services like Ceramic Coating. This results in a stronger and more durable bond, leading to better long-term protection for the paintwork.

Debunking the Myths of Paint Correction

Myth 1: Paint Enhancement can be done multiple times 

Many believe that Paint Enhancement is a service that can be performed multiple times without consequence. However, this is not true at all. Paint Correction or Paint Enhancement involves removing a thin layer of the clear coat from your vehicle's painted panels. Repeatedly carrying out this process can result in paint damage over time if not done with caution. To ensure that your Paint Correction service can last for a long time and retain its quality, by following up with the crucial step of choosing the right paint protection. One of the most effective options for protecting your vehicle's paint is using Paint Protection Film.

Myth 2: Paint Enhancement is an unnecessary and excessive endeavor

Some vehicle owners view Paint Enhancement as an unnecessary luxury or one that is excessive and obsessive. In reality, Paint Enhancement is a vital service that can significantly enhance your vehicle's appearance and value, even if you believe that the defects in your clear coat are somehow not noticeable. By removing common paint defects and bringing your paint back to its original condition, Paint Enhancement helps preserve the longevity of your vehicle's exterior, making it a worthwhile investment.

Myth 3: Paint Correction fixes dents and notable body damage 

A common misconception is that Paint Correction services can somehow repair dents and other forms of body damage. This belief may come from its namesake; however, this is an incorrect assumption. Paint Correction focuses solely on the clear coat of your vehicle, addressing surface-level imperfections such as scratches, small nicks, and swirl marks. For dents and more substantial body damage, other specialized repair services are required at an auto body shop.

FAQs and Answers About Paint Enhancement

  • Is paint enhancement completely safe for my vehicle?

    Yes! Professional Paint Enhancement is safe when performed by our team members who are all trained in the complicated steps of the process. At Integrity Auto Detail, we use specialized Paint Correction tools, equipment, polishing pads, compounds, and most importantly, trusted industry techniques to ensure that the process is done correctly. With this, we do not cause any unnecessary damage to the vehicle’s paint. Our team consists of seasoned professionals who treat every vehicle with the same level of care and attention as they would their own.

  • How should I maintain my vehicle following paint correction?

    If you choose to clean your vehicle on your own, be sure to avoid using any abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals that can cause new defects and stains. Likewise, steer clear of public car washes, as the soft-touch equipment will ultimately swirl and scrape your clear coat. This is why our team always applies a Ceramic coating or Paint Protection Film after each Polishing treatment.

  • Is paint enhancement a lengthy process?

    Not necessarily, though the process does vary depending on the vehicle we are working on. The duration of your specific Paint Enhancement process greatly depends on our customer's goals. On average, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days to complete. Our team at Integrity Auto Detail provides an estimated timeframe after assessing your vehicle’s condition.
