Hi Parfect and Hammers,
When you talk about paint correction, is it only getting rid of swirls or are they able to loose small stone chips. The finish looks fantastic but does it ever magnify any other imperfections?

There are 3 stages to paint correction In my case it required 3 stages as some wet sanding was required. If you are worried about stone chips being visible then it may be worth having them touched up first. I have a couple but to be honest they’re barely visible after correction.

Normally, paint correction deals with swirls but leaves stone chips alone. Some might offer extra work to deal with chips, often by taking the car to a spray shop.

It all depends on the chip, each chip has to be dealt with separately, some will look better some will look worse if not dealt with, Detailers may offer to touch up before correction to make a reasonable improvement, or it may require more paint shop skills, but it needs to be discussed beforehand, obviously a good detailer should inspect the car and bring it up with you before proceeding, or advise if something comes up during the process like poor respray work.
