A paint correction on a boat is a process in which the boat's paint is restored to its original shine and smoothness. This is typically done using specialized tools and products, such as polishers, buffers, and abrasive compounds. The first step in a paint correction is to clean the boat's surface to remove any dirt, grime, or other contaminants that may be present. The boat's paint is then inspected to identify any imperfections, such as scratches, swirl marks, or oxidation. These imperfections are then carefully sanded and polished away, using progressively finer abrasives and polishes, until the boat's paint is smooth and shiny. The final step in a paint correction is to apply a protective coating, such as a ceramic coating, wax or sealant, to help protect the boat's paint from future damage.
