Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation from the clear coat. Deeper scratches that go through the clear coat cannot be fully removed, but I will assess the paint and set honest expectations on a test panel first.
Newer cars with light swirling usually need one stage. Heavily damaged or older paint often needs two or three stages. I run a test panel first so you can see the result and we pick the right level before committing.
Yes. Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so any swirls or defects get sealed in. Paint correction first gives the coating a flawless surface to bond to and the best possible finish.
Depending on the number of stages and the size of the vehicle, paint correction can take most of a day or longer. I will give you a time estimate after the paint assessment.
