What is paint correction?
Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation from the clear coat, restoring gloss and depth to the paint.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to paint, providing a durable, semi-permanent protective layer that repels water, resists scratches, and makes washing easier. It lasts 2–7 years depending on the product.
Is mobile detailing as good as a shop?
