How much does paint correction cost?

Across the US, the middle half of advertised paint correction prices runs from $349 to $700, with a median of $470 (330 shops, September 2026). The paint's condition and the number of polishing steps drive the price.

Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?

Usually some. A coating locks in whatever is under it, swirls included, so most shops polish the paint first. A new car may need only a light polish; an older daily driver may need two or more steps.
