Common Paint Issues and How Paint Correction Can Solve Them

Sometimes, newly repainted cars dazzle with their flawless finish, but over time, various environmental and physical factors impair the pristine condition of your vehicle’s paint. From UV exposure to minor scratches, many factors contribute to dullness, fading, and visible imperfections.

Paint correction emerges as a comprehensive solution to restore your car’s original luster. With the right tools, techniques, and premium products like those from Nasiol, long-term paint restoration and protection become achievable. Let’s explore the most common paint issues and how paint correction, paired with Nasiol’s advanced surface solutions, can resolve them.

Common Paint Problems

1. Swirl Marks

Swirl marks are fine, circular scratches that result from improper washing or drying techniques—typically caused by dirty sponges or abrasive cloths. Though minor, they distort the light reflection on the car’s surface, diminishing the overall appearance.

2. Water Spots

These are caused by mineral-rich (hard) water drying on your car’s surface, leaving behind unsightly deposits. Over time, these can etch into the paint, making removal difficult without correction.

3. Oxidation and Fading

Extended exposure to UV rays causes paint oxidation—stripping it of essential oils and leading to a dull, chalky look. If left untreated, oxidation spreads, degrading the overall appearance.
Nasiol’s ceramic coatings, like ZR53, form a barrier that prevents oxidation and UV-related damage.

4. Scratches and Scuffs

From accidental scrapes in parking lots to contact with tree branches or keys, scratches range in severity. Deep scratches can expose the metal layer, making the car susceptible to rust.

5. Holograms

Caused by incorrect machine polishing, holograms are swirl-like marks with a rainbow or mirrored effect. They distort reflection and clarity, often becoming visible under direct light.

6. Bird Droppings and Tree Sap

Highly acidic contaminants like bird droppings and sap can eat through clear coat and stain paint. If not removed quickly, they can leave permanent etching.

How Paint Correction Solves These Problems

Paint correction is a process that eliminates imperfections in the clear coat—restoring smoothness, clarity, and depth. It involves decontamination, polishing, and protective coating application. With the use of Nasiol’s professional-grade products, each step is elevated for long-lasting and showroom-quality results.


Step 1: Evaluating the Paint

The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify paint defects—swirls, scratches, oxidation, or etching. This evaluation helps determine the required correction level.


Step 2: Decontamination

Decontaminating the paint is crucial before polishing. This includes:

  • Washing with Nasiol Cleanion Pro – a high-foam car shampoo that lifts dirt and grime without damaging the surface.
  • Using a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants.
  • Applying Nasiol Clean – a premium, paint-safe cleaner that removes tar, industrial fallout, and residues without harming the clear coat.

 This results in a clean base ready for correction.


Step 3: Polishing and Levelling

At the heart of paint correction lies polishing, which levels the clear coat by removing surface defects.

  • The Nasiol CleaRub Series includes polishing compounds with varying abrasion levels, suitable for everything from minor swirls to deeper scratches and oxidation.
  • These compounds restore smoothness, color depth, and clarity to the paintwork.

Once the paint is corrected, protection is vital to lock in results.


Step 4: Finishing and Protection

Protective coatings serve as a barrier against environmental and physical damage. Nasiol offers industry-leading solutions for this crucial final step:
