Only 12 of the 14 businesses doing protection work in Albany offer paint correction. These are those 12.
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.
| Paint correction in Albany | Low | Median | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 published price | $500 | $500 | $500 |
| National, 329 shops | $345 | $450 | $700 |
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.

Correction is machine work, and most of the result is in what happens before the polisher touches the paint. Decontaminate first, then correct, then wipe the panel down so whatever goes on next actually bonds.
A foam lance sold with the common fittings included.
A pH-neutral iron remover that turns purple as it works.
Edgeless microfiber buffing towels, sold in packs.
