FAQ

How much correction will my vehicle get

It depends on paint condition, paint type, and your goals. We set expectations up front during the free estimate.

Does correction remove every defect

No. Some defects are too deep to remove safely. The goal is the best real-world improvement without compromising the finish.

Do I need ceramic coating after correction

You do not have to, but protection is how you keep the corrected finish looking sharp longer. Coatings are the highest value add-on after correction.
