Paint correction is a term that is now commonly used by professional car detailers worldwide to describe the process of restoring and rejuvenating the paintwork of a vehicle, mostly through the elimination of surface imperfections, that dull, oxidize, or haze the surface by reflecting light off in various directions, therefore detracting from a true and proper, clean, sharp, reflection. These imperfections include things like swirl marks & fine scratches, bird-dropping etching & acid rain etching, halo-gramming & buffer trails, and random isolated deep scratches (or RIDS).
