Correction is the process of removing a portion of the clear coat that contains swirls and coating the vehicle with a protective layer to help prevent future issues. It's also important to know the difference between wax and polish, and what the different products can do.
Paint correction is unnecessary on a brand new vehicle.
What I would recommend is getting a professional detailer to put a good coat of wax on and use the 2 bucket wash method (at a minimum) with high quality tools to prevent scratching.
By keeping your vehicle with a good wax coat and cleaning it with proper technique, you can maintain a good looking paint job for years.

Do a paint correction and then use chemical guys carbon flex ceramic coating. I think it's c9. Have it all professionally done

The guy who told me about paint correcting a new vehicle is buying a $150k car. I think he is clear wrapping the front after the procedure.

Listen to achenator and Rummel. It is easy to see that they know how to properly detail a car.
There is only so much clear that you can safely cut through when correcting the paint. This thin coat needs to last awhile, so learn how to perform the least aggressive cut when you try to occasionally correct your paint.

I'm inheriting a 2009 vehicle and the paint is pretty bad. I need to fill piant chips and fully correct the paint. I intend to buy the orbital or whatever I need and research the proper techniques...but we're getting a new car and I was wondering if having a professional to go over the car would be worth looking into.

If you are wrapping a car in clear material, a light correction is/ may be advisable. Any defects will be locked in under the clear bra. And I disagree with the poster above that says a new car doesn't need correction. I've seen many a black car from $20k to $200k that needed correction off of the floor from improper washing and care techniques by the dealership. I bought my son a 2016 Accord coupe in black that had sat on the lot for a while that was hacked all to hell from being washed on the lot by someone who was getting $5 a car or something.

Think I should ask them not to wash our new car? It's on a boat now, not sure what they do to protect it on the ride over. It's silver, so I doubt it'll show much clear issues.

2018 XC60. Probably won't worry with it.

I would say to take it home, give it a nice couple of baths, then throw a good wax and sealer on it. Get a random orbital buffer and some good pads - it'll certainly make things easier.
After that...see how it looks.

My mom's neighbor is about to buy the new NSX. When he gets it, I'll post pics.

No problem. Let us know how it goes. That's a nice looking SUV...

The car felt pretty neutered in 1st and 2nd gear. 3 months in I saw a way to get out without getting hurt too bad and traded it in for an M2.

sealer first, then wax.

Ah. I gotcha. Yea I toy with the idea of getting one. But everything I read is that it's not much fun at low RPMs. Which means it wouldn't be much fun during day-to-day driving.
