The Benefits of Car Compounding: How It Can Improve Your Car’s Appearance
Compounding is a paint correction step that uses an abrasive compound and machine to remove deeper defects from the clear coat.
What Compounding Does
Compounding removes a thin layer of the clear coat to eliminate or reduce scratches, oxidation, water spots and other defects that polishing alone may not address.
When Compounding Is Needed
Vehicles with medium to heavy scratching, significant oxidation or stubborn water spots benefit from compounding. Light defects may only need polishing.
Compounding vs Polishing
Compounding is more aggressive and leaves some haze. Polishing follows compounding to refine the finish and restore full gloss.
The Correction Process
A full correction may include wash, decontamination, clay bar, compounding, polishing and wax. Starting at $400 for ultimate correction.
