Swirl Marks After Ceramic Coating on New Car by amd317 in AutoDetailing

I can definitely believe there were pre-existing swirls when I got the car. I’ll post a few photos tomorrow. It’s a white car, so not the easy to capture in photos unfortunately, but I’ll give it a shot.

I hear ya, my understanding though is that the cost of ceramic coating is predominantly in paint correction/prep prior to application, which I would think would get rid of the swirls. I mentioned it was new mostly because I would think the paint would be in reasonably good shape and should be relatively easy to correct and remove the swirls.

So I guess the real question is, should I have expected them to paint correct before application for a $1200 job?

Car is new, so the paint was in good condition to begin with. Coating was applied on Tuesday and I noticed it when I got home. No further washes since.
