Paint Correction
The right first step before coating or film
Paint correction is the essential first step before any ceramic coating or PPF installation. It gives the coating or film a perfect, defect-free surface to bond to, and it is why coating over damaged paint is a mistake: it locks the damage in. Every ceramic coating package already includes a single-stage correction.

Questions
What does paint correction remove?
Swirl marks, holograms, light-to-moderate scratches, water spots and etching, oxidation and dullness.
Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?
It is the essential first step, so yes: every one of our ceramic coating packages includes full decontamination and a single-stage correction before the coating goes on.
Can old or failing ceramic coating be removed?
Yes. Paint correction safely strips degraded or improperly applied coatings and restores the paint to a clean, corrected state ready for a fresh install. If an existing coating is failing, peeling or was poorly applied, don’t coat over it. Have it removed first.
When is the best time to get a ceramic coating?
When your paint is at its cleanest and most corrected: ideally on a new car straight from the dealer, or after professional paint correction on a used one. Don’t wait until paint is scratched, oxidized or faded.
