What is paint correction (compound/polish) and a ceramic coating?

Compounding & Polishing are methods of correcting defects in a vehicle’s paint, but they do so in different amounts. A compound acts like sand paper to eliminate light scratches, watermarks, and other imperfections from the clear coat of a car’s paint.

Polishing, typically done after compounding, acts as a finer grit sandpaper to further eliminate scratches, get rid of any remaining contaminants, oxidation, & anything the compounding step did not remove.

After the compound/polish steps are done, applying a ceramic coating is the best, next step to ensure your car looks the best & is protected the best. A ceramic coating provides an extra layer of protection from the sun’s UV rays, which cause he paint to fade over time. It easily repels water, protecting the paint from rust, helps repel dirt & mud, & makes the car more resistant to scratches from wear & tear. Ceramic Coatings keep your vehicle cleaner between car washes & makes the car easier to clean due to is protective repelling power. With proper maintenance, ceramic coatings can last between 2-5 years.

Ceramic Coating

*Paint correction does not have to include both compounding and polishing. If your car’s paint does not have many defects, you may just only need a polish. If the paint is in more rough shape, then we would recommend getting both.

With Sweet Lemons, we do not charge extra if you get both a compound and polish. Whether you need one or both, our price stays the same.
