To get straight to the point, the term paint correction shouldn’t be over complicated like other detail shops will make it out to be. Simply put it is the process of removing scratches and refining your vehicle's paintwork to keep it healthy and in pristine condition. For less than 2% of the cost of the average new car, you can restore your vehicle to its former glory. It’s all the same excitement, feeling and look of a brand new car without the massive financial investment. So what are the steps involved in having this service completed you might ask?

How To Paint Correct A Vehicle (Our Process)

Step 1: Perform a thorough vehicle inspection.

Before we begin, our team will perform not only our complimentary 19-point inspection but also a comprehensive examination of your vehicle's paintwork. This helps us ensure we can safely polish your paint while achieving the specific results you've communicated during your initial consultation.

Step 2: Wash and decontaminate your vehicles paintwork

This step is crucial in the paint correction process. Regardless of regular professional car washing, your vehicle may still have embedded contamination that isn't immediately apparent to the naked eye. These could include concealed rust deposits, residual car wax, dried chemical stains, and various other substances. To eliminate these, our team employs a variety of chemicals and tools, such as bug removers, rust removers, tar removers, and a clay bar, ensuring that the surface is entirely free of contaminates before we move forward.

Step 3: Determine the appropriate compounds and polishes for your vehicle.

With hundreds of paint compounding and polishing detail products available on the market, not every option is going to be suitable for your vehicle. To achieve the ultimate level of refinement, we dedicate time to testing and fine-tuning several combinations to find the perfect match for your vehicle.

Step 4: Polish & Compound Your Vehicle (We get to work doing what we do best!)

With the vehicle inspection complete, paintwork decontaminated, and our polish and compound products select, its time to begin reworking your paint. Our team carefully paint corrects each panel one by one anywhere from 1-3 passes per panel to help you achieve that perfect crystal clear finish.

Step 5: Perform a final inspection

Before we return your vehicle to you, we want to ensure your going to be satisfied with the results. Our team will perform a comprehensive re-inspection of the entire vehicle, top to bottom, to ensure that we have fulfilled your expectations. We aim for your return visits to be based on your satisfaction with our service, rather than any dissatisfaction with the work performed. If for some reason you are ever un satisfied when coming to pick up your vehicle, we will do what it takes to make it right.

“I recently had my car windows tinted and I couldn't be happier with the results! Quincy took the time to explain the different types of tint available and helped me choose the best option for my needs. The installation process was quick and seamless”

“Extremely happy with Quincy's work. I took what I though was a pretty good looking paint to Quincy for ceramic coat application. He quickly identified blemishes in the paint and we worked out a plan to bring the car to a show quality finish. My car now has a mirror finish.”

“I have a van that my three kids put through the ringer! RC Auto Finish not only breathed new life into my vehicle (seriously it looks better than when I bought it). As a fellow business owner, and as a busy mom with kids! My van looks and smells incredible!”

“Quincy did a fantastic job on my large GMC Yukon Denali. It was in need of some serious help on the inside and he made it look brand new! He also did a great job removing the fender scratches and paint above my front right tire from someone who sideswiped my car at work without leaving a note.”

“RC Auto Finish was exceptional! They had my Blazer ceramic coated in less than 3 days. Quincy kept me up to date through the entire process. I don’t even have to wash my car anymore. I simply hose it off with the look that it’s been waxed and polished every time. I highly recommend RC Auto Finish to everyone.”

“Very knowledgeable about the detailing process. Took my Corvette in for a ceramic coat and paint correction and it came out flawless. Zero complaints, very responsive and on time. Will recommend to anyone who wants to leave the detailing process to a professional to ensure it is done right. Very impressed!”

Meet the owner: quincy rollins

RC Auto Finish LLC was originally started in Richmond, Virginia by Quincy Rollins. The business was started as a mobile detailing company with nothing more than a $500 budget and his personal vehicle. Eventually, this led to a full-service center operation that for years supported its local community, consulted with other aspiring shops, and provided enthusiasts with the highest level of craftsmanship and service in the area. After feeling the negative business impacts of COVID-19, Quincy relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, to rebuild the business. Quincy says that the Charlotte community has been extremely supportive of RC Auto Finish LLC's new path, and he looks forward to fostering new client relationships and providing the area with a garage that they can rely on for years to come.
