What local conditions in Tampa matter for paint correction?
UF/IFAS's Escambia County office says driving at night reduces lovebug hits because they rest after sunset, and that leaving them on too long can damage paint or clog the radiator; swarms come in May and September. Ask the detailer how this affects what they recommend and quote for your vehicle.
Does paint correction remove all scratches?
Not always. Polishing removes or reduces defects that sit in the clear coat. Scratches that go through it usually need paintwork instead. A good detailer inspects the paint first and tells you what to expect.
Should paint correction come before a ceramic coating?
Often, because a coating seals in whatever finish is under it. The scope can range from a light polish to several stages, so ask which one is quoted and what it includes.
