There are two primary types of paint correction services, depending on your vehicle’s condition and your expectations.

Paint Enhancement

Paint enhancement is a lighter form of paint correction and the most common service we perform. This process improves gloss and clarity while reducing visible swirls and light imperfections. We clearly explain which defects will and will not be corrected, making it ideal for customers who want noticeable improvement before applying a ceramic coating.

Paint Correction

Paint correction is a more aggressive process designed for vehicles with heavier paint damage or for customers seeking maximum perfection. This service focuses on removing deeper scratches, swirl marks, etching, and other paint imperfections. Paint correction not only improves appearance but also creates a smooth, defect-free surface for proper ceramic coating bonding.

Both services are essential steps in achieving long-lasting protection, enhanced gloss, and professional results.

Do I have to Get A Paint Correction To Get A Ceramic Coating?

The short answer is yes and no—it depends on your goals and budget. Paint correction helps remove imperfections and allows a ceramic coating to bond better and last longer, but it isn’t always required.

Even a light paint enhancement can improve appearance, extend coating life, and maximize your investment. We’ll walk you through your options so you can choose what works best for your vehicle—though we’ll admit, we’re a little biased toward better prep and better results.
