Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating
Restore clarity, depth and gloss to your paint, then protect the finish with long-lasting ceramic protection. Ceramic coating is also available for compatible vinyl wraps and paint protection film.
Correct the finish. Protect the result.
Paint correction and ceramic coating address two different parts of your vehicle's finish. Correction focuses on improving the appearance of painted surfaces, while ceramic coating adds a protective layer designed to enhance surface behavior and simplify maintenance.
Whether we're refining factory paint before coating or protecting a newly wrapped vehicle, every service is tailored around the surface, its condition and the finished appearance you're looking for.
Paint Correction
Machine polishing designed to reduce visible swirls, oxidation, haze and other correctable paint defects while improving clarity, depth and gloss.
Restore • Refine • Enhance Complete Finish Paint + ProtectionCorrection + Ceramic
Refine the painted finish before applying ceramic protection, helping create a cleaner, deeper and more refined appearance before the surface is coated.
Correct • Polish • Protect Protected SurfacesWrap & PPF Ceramic Coating
Ceramic protection for compatible vinyl wraps and paint protection film, designed to improve surface behavior and make routine maintenance easier without changing the purpose of the film underneath.
Wrap • PPF • ProtectionBring the paint back to life.
Even properly maintained vehicles can develop swirls, haze and surface imperfections over time. Paint correction uses controlled machine polishing to refine the clear coat and improve the overall appearance of the finish.
Swirl Reduction
Reduce the appearance of wash-induced swirls and other correctable defects that become visible under direct lighting.
Improved Clarity
Refine hazy or dull paint to improve reflection, clarity and overall surface appearance.
Depth & Gloss
Proper polishing can restore depth and gloss that may have been hidden beneath years of light surface defects.
Coating Preparation
Refining the paint before ceramic coating allows the finish to look its best before long-term protection is applied.
Every paint finish is different.
The appropriate level of correction depends on the condition of the paint, the defects present and the result you're looking to achieve.
Paint Enhancement
A lighter polishing process focused on improving gloss and reducing minor surface defects for an overall cleaner finish.
Single-Stage Correction
A more focused polishing process designed to improve clarity and reduce a greater amount of visible swirls and correctable defects.
Multi-Stage Correction
A more intensive correction process for paint requiring additional defect removal and refinement before the final finish is achieved.
Protect the finish you've created.
Ceramic coating forms a durable protective layer over compatible exterior surfaces, helping improve water behavior, resist environmental contamination and make routine maintenance easier.
Hydrophobic Performance
Ceramic coatings create strong water behavior that helps water bead and move across protected surfaces more easily.
Enhanced Finish
On compatible gloss surfaces, ceramic coating can enhance depth, gloss and the overall presentation of the finish.
Easier Maintenance
Protected surfaces are generally easier to clean and maintain when paired with proper washing and ongoing vehicle care.
Environmental Protection
Adds a sacrificial layer that helps resist environmental contamination and exposure encountered during normal use.
The finish starts with preparation.
Ceramic coating is only part of the process. The condition and preparation of the surface underneath have a major impact on the final presentation.
Inspection
We inspect the vehicle's paint, wrap or PPF to determine its condition and the appropriate preparation for the surface.
Wash & Decontamination
The exterior is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated as appropriate to remove surface and bonded contamination before further preparation.
Surface Preparation
Painted vehicles may receive polishing or paint correction based on their condition. Wrapped and PPF surfaces are prepared using methods appropriate for the film.
Coating Application
The selected ceramic coating is carefully applied to compatible surfaces using controlled application and leveling techniques.
Final Inspection
The completed vehicle is inspected for consistency, finish and overall presentation before delivery.
Before we refine your finish.
Common questions about paint correction, ceramic coating and protecting painted, wrapped and PPF-covered vehicles.
What is paint correction?
The amount of correction possible depends on the condition and thickness of the paint, the type and depth of the defects and the appropriate approach for the vehicle.
Does paint correction remove every scratch?
We prioritize improving the finish while preserving the integrity of the paint.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
Because ceramic coating does not remove paint defects, refining the finish beforehand can improve the final appearance when correction is needed.
What does ceramic coating do?
It also provides resistance to environmental contamination, but it does not make the vehicle immune to scratches, rock chips or physical damage.
Can you ceramic coat a wrapped vehicle?
The coating and preparation process should be selected based on the specific vinyl and whether the finish is gloss, satin, matte or specialty film.
Do you paint correct a vehicle before wrapping it?
If the vehicle has paint defects that require additional attention before wrapping, the appropriate preparation can be discussed during the project inspection.
Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?
Compatibility depends on the specific film and coating being used.
Is ceramic coating the same as PPF?
Ceramic coating primarily improves surface behavior, contamination resistance and maintenance, while PPF provides a physical film layer designed to help protect against rock chips, road debris and minor abrasions.
How long does ceramic coating last?
We can discuss the expected performance and manufacturer guidance for the specific coating selected for your vehicle.
How do I get a paint correction or ceramic coating quote?
Photos of the vehicle and its current finish are helpful when evaluating the project, although an in-person inspection may be recommended for paint correction.
