What is a 2 Step Paint Correction?
A two-step paint correction involves using a dual-action polisher and specialized compounds to remove the top layer of clear coat and correct the paint defects. The first step, called compounding, involves using an abrasive compound to remove the majority of the defects in the paint. The second step, called polishing, uses a less abrasive polish to refine the finish left by the compounding step and restore the clarity and gloss of the paint.
