What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is a specialized process that removes surface imperfections in a vehicle's clear coat. These imperfections can include:
-
Scratches and scuffs
-
Swirl marks caused by improper washing
-
Oxidation and fading from UV exposure
-
Water spots and etching
-
Micro-marring from poor polishing techniques
By leveling out the clear coat, paint correction restores depth, clarity, and shine to your vehicle’s paint, making it look better than new.

Explore Our Process
1. Inspection
We begin by assessing your vehicle’s paint condition under specialized lighting to identify imperfections. This helps us determine the level of correction required, whether it’s minor, moderate, or heavy.
2. Proper Wash
Your car undergoes a thorough hand wash followed by chemical and mechanical decontamination to remove dirt, debris, and embedded contaminants. This ensures the surface is completely clean before correction begins.
3. Polish Prep
We tape off delicate areas, such as trim and rubber seals, to protect them during the correction process.
4. Cut N' Polish
Using a combination of cutting compounds and polishers, we carefully level out imperfections in the clear coat. This multi-stage process restores depth, clarity, and shine to your vehicle’s paint.
5. Quality Check
After correction, we inspect the vehicle under various lighting conditions to ensure every imperfection has been addressed and the finish is flawless.
Why Invest in Paint Correction?
Your vehicle is exposed to harsh elements every day, from road debris to UV rays. Paint correction is the first step in preserving its value and beauty. It restores the finish, enhances gloss, and provides the perfect foundation for additional protective measures.

I got the windshield protection film installed at Calgary Ceramic Coatings, and it’s been a lifesaver! Driving in Calgary means lots of rocks and debris, but now I don’t have to worry about chips or cracks. The film is invisible, and my windshield still looks perfect after a few months of rough roads. Highly recommend this for anyone who drives a lot!

Honestly, I didn’t even know windshield protection film was a thing until a friend recommended it. I had Calgary Ceramic Coatings put it on my SUV, and it’s been fantastic. The film is crystal clear and has already saved me from a few rock chips. If you drive a lot in Calgary, this is definitely worth it!
Liam M.
I had a couple of nasty chips on my last car, so I decided to get windshield protection film this time around. Calgary Ceramic Coatings did a great job, and now my windshield is fully protected. I can hardly tell the film is there, but I feel much better knowing my windshield has that extra layer of protection. Thanks, Mostafa and team!
Rachel M.
Calgary Ceramic Coatings' windshield protection film is incredible! I was tired of constantly worrying about cracks and chips, especially during winter with all the gravel on the roads. The film is totally clear, and I love the peace of mind it gives me. They were professional, quick, and did an awesome job!

How long does ceramic coating last?With proper maintenance, our XPEL Ceramic Coating can last anywhere from 1 to 8 years or longer, depending on factors like environmental exposure and care. Unlike traditional wax, which needs frequent reapplication, ceramic coating provides durable protection that doesn’t wash off.
-
Can ceramic coating be applied to boats or motorcycles?Yes, we offer specialized ceramic coating packages for boats and motorcycles. Our marine-grade coating protects boats from saltwater, algae buildup, and UV damage, while our motorcycle coating shields against road debris, dirt, and weather, making maintenance easier.
-
What areas of my vehicle can be coated?Ceramic coating can be applied to almost any part of your vehicle, including exterior paint, glass, wheels, trim, fabric, and leather. We offer different packages that target specific areas for a customized level of protection.
-
Is ceramic coating suitable for all types of vehicles?Absolutely! Ceramic coating can be applied to cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and boats. We tailor our approach to suit each type of vehicle, ensuring optimal protection and appearance.
-
How does ceramic coating compare to waxing?Ceramic coating bonds with the vehicle’s paint on a molecular level, providing a hard, durable layer that resists wear and tear. In contrast, wax sits on top of the paint and wears off over time, requiring frequent reapplication. Ceramic coating also offers superior gloss and UV protection.
-
Will ceramic coating prevent scratches?Ceramic coating provides a strong, protective layer that resists minor scratches and swirl marks but is not completely scratch-proof. For enhanced protection, especially against rock chips, we recommend combining it with our Paint Protection Film (PPF) for maximum durability.
-
How long does the ceramic coating process take?The process typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the condition of the vehicle and the areas being coated. This includes the time needed for paint correction (if required), surface preparation, coating application, and curing to ensure the best results.
-
Can ceramic coating be removed?Yes, ceramic coating can be removed through a polishing or paint correction process if necessary. This is usually only needed if reapplication is desired or if the coating becomes damaged in some way.
-
Is paint correction necessary before ceramic coating?While not always mandatory, we highly recommend paint correction to remove imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation before applying ceramic coating. A smooth, flawless surface allows the coating to bond more effectively, resulting in a perfect finish.
-
Does glass coating improve visibility?Yes, our glass coating creates a hydrophobic layer on your windshield and windows that repels water, dust, and grime. This results in clearer visibility during rain and poor weather conditions, improving safety and reducing the need for wipers.
-
Will ceramic coating make my car look shiny?Absolutely! Ceramic coating enhances the depth and clarity of your vehicle’s paint, providing a mirror-like gloss that looks impressive. This added shine helps your car stand out and retains that “new car” look for years.
-
What kind of maintenance does ceramic coating require?After ceramic coating, regular washing with a pH-neutral soap is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners and automatic car washes with brushes, as they can damage the coating. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions for the best maintenance routine. Depending on which tier of ceramic coating you purchase, there will be an annual maintenance service that will need to be performed to maintain the coating as well as the warranty.
-
Can ceramic coating be applied over existing PPF?Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over Paint Protection Film to add an additional layer of protection and enhance the glossy finish. This combination is especially popular for those looking to maximize durability and ease of cleaning.
-
Does ceramic coating protect against UV rays?Yes, ceramic coating includes UV inhibitors that protect your paint from sun damage. This is particularly beneficial in preventing paint fading and oxidation, keeping your car’s color vibrant and fresh for years.
-
Is ceramic coating effective in Calgary’s winters?Yes, ceramic coating is highly effective in Calgary’s winter conditions. It provides a strong shield against salt, snow, and grime, preventing contaminants from bonding to the surface. This makes cleaning much easier, even during harsh winter months.
