In this post, we discuss when not to do paint correction. What's that you say? A paint correction shop recommending against paint correction? That's right! It's not for everyone and in some circumstances shouldn't be done at all.Many vehicle owners want to keep their second most valuable investment (after the house or condo) looking as good as new.

To them, and us, System X provides better, longer lasting paint protection and aesthetic results.
