Only 14 of the 21 businesses doing protection work in Richmond offer paint correction. These are those 14.
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.

Tell us the car and the work. We put it in front of shops that do this specific job, and they come back to you directly. We aren't a middleman on the price and we take no cut of it.
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.
