Enhanced Appearance: Restores vibrant color and gloss, making your vehicle look brand new.

Our expert technicians assess factors like the severity of swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections to recommend the package—One-Stage, Two-Stage, or Multi-Stage—that will bring your vehicle to its ideal condition. This personalized evaluation ensures you receive the most effective and cost-efficient solution tailored to your car’s specific needs.

Maintenance Tips
To maintain your vehicle’s corrected finish, we recommend the following:
Regular Washing: We use a special pH-neutral shampoo and microfiber mitt to avoid scratching the paint, keeping your vehicle’s finish pristine.
Avoid Abrasive Brushes: Skip automated car washes with harsh brushes that can reintroduce swirl marks.
Periodic Maintenance: We apply a protective sealant or wax every 3–6 months to maintain gloss and protect the corrected surface.
Recurring Scheduling: Book recurring maintenance appointments with Horizon Detailing to keep your vehicle’s finish in top condition. We offer flexible scheduling options to fit your busy lifestyle, ensuring consistent care.
Annual Inspections: Schedule a checkup with us to assess your paint’s condition and address any new imperfections.
Why Ceramic Coating After Paint Correction?
After achieving a flawless finish through paint correction, applying a ceramic coating is the ideal way to protect your vehicle’s restored paint and maintain its stunning appearance. Our ceramic coatings chemically bond to the paint surface, creating a durable, protective layer that enhances and preserves your correction results. Benefits of adding a ceramic coating include:
Long-Lasting Protection: Shields your paint from UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, road grime, and water spots, preventing new imperfections in Central Florida’s harsh climate.
Enhanced Durability: Locks in the corrected finish, reducing the risk of swirl marks or scratches from daily driving or improper washing.
Hydrophobic Properties: Repels water and dirt, making your vehicle easier to clean and maintaining its glossy shine with minimal effort.
Amplified Gloss: Adds a deep, mirror-like shine that enhances the vibrant color and clarity achieved through paint correction.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: Extends the life of your corrected paint, reducing the need for frequent corrections and saving you time and money.
By pairing paint correction with a ceramic coating, you ensure your vehicle stays protected and looks showroom-ready for years to come. Ask us about our 3-Year, 5-Year, or 8-Year ceramic coating packages during your consultation to find the perfect combination for your vehicle.
