Question 10

My car is brand new, why do I need to have the additional paint correction procedure done before my ceramic coating application?"

Accepted Answer

Contrary to popular belief, vehicles that roll directly off the showroom floor are not always prepped in the right way.  A dealer prep will most likely include removal of all adhesive during a process called a PDI (Prep, Deliver, Inspect).  During this PDI, the dealers main concern is to quickly prep, quickly deliver and quickly inspect.  As a result, your brand new car normally gets delivered with extreme amounts of fallout that the human eye can't see.  Coatings won't adhere properly to damaged or contaminated surfaces well and will this affect your warranty.
