Welcome to E.S.A Details Formerly Known as AndRem Details
Fort Worth’s Paint Correction & Polishing Specialist
Make your car look better than Brand New
Two step paint correction is an attempt to remove 80 - 90% of swirls and imperfections from the paint. This service is designed for vehicles that have heavy swirls marks and scratches. Here in this stage a lot of heavy cutting and polishing is required in order to restore the paint back to its glossy condition.
Before we start this process, we do a complete inspection of the paint and we measure the paint depth. This measurement will show if there is enough paint on the car to work with (as new cars are coming with a lot less paint than previous years). In this process the first step is where we use heavy cutting pads and compound to remove most of the swirls and imperfections and second step is to refine and polish the paint to reveal the best shine and gloss possible.
Some scratches on the paint can go deep, for that we do offer wet sanding to make it look as best as possible and even completely remove the scratch only if possible. But this step is done with absolute precaution and we know when we have reached the maximum scratch removal possible without damaging the paint.
If you are not looking for a deep paint correction we do offer our full 1 Step Paint Correction or our Wash and Seal which can also make the paint look much better. For our best protection we do offer Ceramic Coating which will give the freshly corrected paint protection and reflect the gloss and shine. We highly recommend to maintain the paint with proper maintenance washes. You can always get on Maintenance plan. For Maintenance Washes we come to your location and perform the service.

Wax gives a little boost to the gloss on the clear coat and the durability is only for a month or two. Sealant is a little bit better than wax and durability is 3-4 months. Ceramic Coating is one of the best ways to protect your vehicle's paint. Coating can last anywhere from 2-7 years. To learn more click here.
