Technically, no. Paint Correction is not needed to prepare the surface of the vehicle for ceramic coatings. Many may regard to paint correction as a customers personal preference. Especially when installing a 1-2 year coating seeing as that is a very short time of coverage. I personally recommend to my customers to consider at least a Single-Stage Paint Correction service be performed. A Single-Stage Paint Correction service removes swirling and marring, as well as increases the gloss of the paint overall and creates a more appealing look.
