If the paint is in pretty good shape but has some scratches and marring that are gone using the aio, would it stay that way under PPF or should I go through paint correction?

If the scratches are removed why do you think the scratches would come back under the PPF ?
(If I interrupted your question correct.....)

If you're getting at a product having slight fillers, the scratches that were filled would show before the PPF is applied because like a ceramic coating, PPF needs to be applied to bare clear and everything needs to be stripped off.

I realize now that aio is not appropriate to use because the ppf will not adhere to the paint because of the wax.

To apply PPF panel must be nano-ceramic coating free and must be degreased first.

Also, there is no need to make paint perfect under a PPF, defects will not show. I did not believe that until I saw Scott H. do a video on it. The PPF was able to completely hide heavy sandpaper scratches.... here is the video:

I was shocked when I saw it. I was told the complete opposite, that PPF acted as a magnifying glass and made all imperfections stand out...

Unfortunately there are some reputable shops that sell complete vehicle PPF wrap along with full correction and coating and a polisher never touches the paint. We’re talking $8k-$10k jobs here.

Coating over the PPF makes sense. The full correction looks like it doesn't.
