Protect Your Vehicle’s Corrected Paintwork With a Ceramic Coating

After investing in a professional paint correction service to achieve a flawless finish on your vehicle, it's important to consider how you can protect and maintain this newfound perfection. While a ceramic coating offers excellent protection against UV exposure, pollution, and daily wear and tear, for even more extensive protection, we recommend also considering a paint protection film.


At Stotties Detailing, located in Ellicott City, MD, we understand the importance of preserving your vehicle's appearance and value. That's why our team goes beyond just repairing damage and instead focuses on fortifying your vehicle for the future. By preparing your paintwork for a ceramic coating or paint protection film, we ensure that your vehicle is equipped with the best possible defense against environmental hazards and daily use.

Dispelling Common Paint Correction Myths

Paint Correction is Exclusively for Aged or Damaged Vehicles

Many people mistakenly believe that paint correction is only essential for vehicles that display significant signs of aging or damage. New vehicles can also greatly benefit from paint correction. Often, vehicles straight from the dealership may have minor imperfections or defects in the paintwork. These can include swirl marks, fine scratches, or a lackluster finish that detracts from the vehicle's appearance. These minor issues can be addressed and corrected by undergoing paint correction, significantly enhancing the vehicle's overall shine and appeal.

Paint Correction Will Damage Vehicle Paint

It's a common misconception that paint correction can actually diminish or damage the vehicle’s paint job. However, at Stotties Detailing, we’ve perfected a process that challenges this misconception. Our skilled technicians gently remove only the outermost layer of the vehicle's clear coat. This precise method is designed to get rid of any blemishes, minor scratches, or imperfections without compromising the paint's integrity.

Paint Correction Is a DIY Job

With the rise of do-it-yourself culture, many car owners believe that they can perform paint correction at home without any prior experience or training. However, this is not recommended.


Paint correction requires specialized tools, knowledge, and techniques to be done correctly. If not done properly, you can further damage your car's paint and end up with a costly repair bill. It is best to leave paint correction to professionals who have the right equipment and training.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Correction

  • Is it necessary to perform paint correction before applying ceramic coating or paint protection film?

    Absolutely, we strongly recommend undergoing a paint correction process prior to the application of ceramic coating or paint protection film. This critical step ensures that the paint surface is smooth and completely clear of any imperfections or defects. By doing so, it allows for a better bonding process between the paint and the protective layer, ensuring stronger and more durable protection.

  • Can paint correction fix all types of scratches?

    Paint correction is a highly effective technique for eliminating superficial scratches that are confined to the clear coat, the outermost layer of a vehicle's paint. This process can restore the vehicle's shine and improve its overall appearance significantly. However, for deeper scratches that have penetrated beyond the clear coat, more intensive treatments may be necessary to fully restore the paintwork. At Stotties Detailing, our experienced detailers conduct a thorough evaluation of your vehicle's paint condition. Based on this assessment, we will recommend the most appropriate solution to address the specific issues your vehicle faces, ensuring a tailored approach to meet your needs and restore your vehicle's aesthetic appeal.

  • How frequently should my vehicle undergo paint correction?

    The need for paint correction largely depends on several factors, such as how the vehicle is used, the conditions under which it is stored, and how well it is maintained. For instance, cars that are frequently exposed to harsh environmental conditions may require more frequent paint corrections. Typically, engaging in a paint correction service every one to two years can help maintain a vehicle's finish in pristine condition.
