The Perfect Foundation for Ceramic Coating
Paint correction is the most important step before applying a ceramic coating. Any imperfections left in the paint will be permanently sealed in once the coating is applied.
By correcting the paint first, we ensure the ceramic coating bonds properly and locks in maximum gloss, clarity, and durability.
Why Paint Correction + Ceramic Coating Works Best:
Defects are removed before being sealed
Ceramic coating enhances corrected paint even further
Longer-lasting protection and shine
Easier maintenance with superior results
👉 Paint correction is required or strongly recommended before ceramic coating installation.
