Dropped $450 on a ceramic coating, now I regret skipping the paint correction

Took my 2017 Civic to a detailer in Austin last month, paid $450 for ceramic coating but the swirl marks are still visible underneath because I didn't spring for the $200 paint correction first. Has anyone else been burned by assuming prep work was included in the price?

My buddy made the exact same mistake with his truck, paid for coating and skipped the correction. He ended up paying another $300 later to have them strip it and start over, which hurt way more than the original $200 would have. Lesson learned the hard way, prep work is always the part that actually costs real money.
