A full exterior detail (decontamination) with clay is necessary, as well as machine polishing of the paint. The paint needs to be machine polished prior as it will open up the pores of the clear to accept the coating.
Any and all reputable installers do this prior to coating. However, a quick machine polish (maybe 30-45 minutes TOPS of labor) is not the same as a paint correction.
I'm not saying your car doesn't need a paint correction, who knows. but that level of labor is not necessary. I would advise shopping around on it for sure.
