Do You Need Paint Correction Before Ceramic Coating?
Most vehicles need a paint correction before ceramic coating, even one that just rolled off the showroom floor. A professional multi-stage paint correction not only removes the imperfections and enhances the gloss, but also preps the finish to deliver a high-performing coating. Due to the semi-permanent nature of ceramic coatings, it is recommended to correct the paint prior to application of the coating.
What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections such as hazing, minor scratches, swirl marks, holograms, and other embedded contaminants from an automotive clear coat (or single-stage color coat). This can be a 1 to 6-stage process depending on the condition of the paintwork. However, the paint thickness must be taken into account to ensure the correction process does not compromise the finish. We start with the least abrasive polish and work our way up the abrasion scale to maximize optical clarity while limiting risk.
