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. Vehicle enthusiasts may spend hours waxing, washing, cleaning and detailing to get the pristine, gleaming “look” they desire. It becomes addictive! The downside of chasing the vehicle perfection dragon is that it can have a cost – to your vehicle’s protective clear coat and your wallet. A perfect example of this is paint correction.

Many of our Vancouver and Richmond ceramic coating customers have tried other products only to find themselves in our shop within a year. To them, and us, Opti-Coat provides better, longer lasting paint protection and aesthetic results.
