Only 9 of the 13 businesses doing protection work in Ann Arbor offer paint correction. These are those 9.
Correction is labor rather than product, measured in stages, which is why not every shop that coats offers it. What paint correction actually involves
Every shop below names correction on its own website. Worth asking each one how many stages the price covers, because "prep included" can mean a wash and a clay bar.
Shops publishing a paint correction price come first, then manufacturer credentials, then how much of the business is protection work. Nobody paid to be on this list.

Edgeless microfiber buffing towels, sold in packs.
