Glad I let him do it too  |
See detailers are such crooks at times...
Paint correction could be considered clay barring and a slight polish I guess. However it can also be a 3-step polish. It depends who you talk to and if they've seen the car.
Clay bar will not "correct" the paint. Clay bar will remove contaminants such as metal flakes from your brakes and other stuck-on debris that a simple wash will not. To actually correct the paint, you're talking about removing imperfections in the paint.
That's my opinion anyways.
Opti-coat is almost a double-ended sword to me. There are small scratches on my car (since the dealer washed it.... assholes). Since my paint is "perfect", my imperfections are much more obvious.
Nobody here would ever see them looking at the car, but I know where they are and what kind of light to catch them in so I see 'em.
ANYWAYS, if you're looking into having your car detailed do some research. It's worth it. A good job can get up to and over $1k depending on the condition of your vehicle. I could talk about this forever.
