The paint correction is a no brainer, With the paint correction, high quality PPF and ceramic coating, the car has a mirror like finish. The project took 10 days to complete. If people are looking to save some money, but still want to have the car completely protected with PPF, I would spend the money on the paint correction over the ceramic coating. Here are some pics/videos of the PPF installation.

Its amazing how much you have to talk someone into a Paint Correction before application. Half dont even know what it is, then the other half are too cheap. Also ALOT of PPF installers dont mess with it so talk the customers out of doing it. I am aware of even one who doesn't paint correct where the film is and they only paint correct panels or areas that need it on new cares. IMHO getting the gloss levels to thier maximum before the film will allow for the smallest amount of gloss to be lost by the film itself. If you are not correcting the paint before the PPF, then you are losing gloss overall and are locked into that for 5-8 years. Should be a no-brainer but its not.
