WHAT TO EXPECT
Improvement Without Chasing Every Defect.
Paint enhancement is intended to improve the finish efficiently and safely. Deeper scratches, heavy oxidation, sanding marks and significant defects may remain and may require paint correction or targeted restoration.
Primary Goal
Improve gloss, clarity and overall appearance.
Correction Level
Light defect reduction with preservation of the finish as the priority.
Protection
Protection is recommended based on vehicle use, ownership goals and maintenance routine.
ENHANCEMENT VS. CORRECTION
Choose the Least Aggressive Process That Produces the Result.
If the paint needs more than refinement, VDS may recommend Paint Correction instead. If the concern is isolated to a specific scratch, panel or defect, Targeted Paint Restoration may be the better fit.
