Paint Correction and protection near Cincinnati?
Hello, I finally got my Camaro home on Wednesday. It's Black so of course even brand new it's full of swirl marks. Anyone in the Cincinnati area have any experience with Paint Correction and either Ceramic coating or whatever the cool kids are doing these days? (I have zero experience with any of this so any advice is appreciated). I have no idea who is good and who isn't or who is overpriced vs who is cheap but might do a terrible job. I've also seen people paying huge ranges from 1K to 3K. Would definitely want to be closer to the 1K.
Anyone in the area have recommendations? |

I guess another question is does it really need Paint correction or would a good wash and wax get rid of some of the swirls?

In my never humble opinion...

Only PPF will prevent future swirls after polishing. If swirls annoy you, then ceramic will likely be a huge waste of $ for you. Don't bother with ceramic coating unless you like water spots. Lots and lots of big nasty water spots. You can DIY a durable hydrophobic coating instead (Gtechniq EXO, for example). Ceramic PLUS hydrophobic should only be used on the wheels and grille where PPF won't work. |

GTechniq's description for EXOv4 describes an inorganic quartz base and an organic top layer.
The quartz base is ceramic. This is a ceramic coating. |
