Paint Correction
One to three stages of machine polishing to cut swirl marks, buffer trails and water-spot etching out of the clearcoat. Depth gauged before and after, so we never take more than the paint can spare.

What we do
A complete revival menu.
Every job is quoted after we see the paint. Condition, size, and how long you plan to keep the car all move the number — so the quote is for your car, not a category.
Specialty
Ceramic Coating
A hard, hydrophobic layer bonded to corrected paint in 1, 3 and 5-year terms. Water sheets off, bug guts and brake dust stop biting, and washing gets dramatically easier.
Exterior
Exterior Detail
Foam pre-soak, two-bucket contact wash, iron and tar decontamination, clay, wheels and wells, tires and trim dressed.
Interior
Interior Detail
Hot-water extraction on carpet and cloth, leather cleaned and conditioned, vents and crevices cleared, glass finished streak-free.
Package
Full Detail
Inside and out in one visit. The usual starting point for a car being prepped for sale, for a show, or for a coating.
Upkeep
Maintenance Wash
Scheduled upkeep for coated vehicles — pH-neutral wash, topper refresh, and an inspection so the coating makes its full term.
Restoration
Headlight Restore
Yellowed, hazed lenses sanded back, polished clear and sealed with UV protection so they don't fog over again in a season.
Detail work
Engine Bay
Careful degreasing and steam cleaning around covered electronics, then plastics and hoses dressed to a clean satin finish.
Ceramic coating
What a coating actually does.
The plain version: it's a hard, slick layer bonded onto your paint. Things that normally eat into a finish sit on top of it instead, and rain carries the dirt away with it.
What it protects against
- Sun fadingSunlight slowly bleaches and dulls paint — it's why a neglected red car turns chalky pink. The coating takes that damage instead of your paint.
- Bird droppingsAcidic enough to burn a permanent mark into bare paint within hours on a hot day. On a coated car they sit on top and wipe off.
- Tree sapGrips hard onto bare paint and usually needs a solvent to shift. Far less to hold onto on a coated surface.
- Bug splatterAlso acidic, and worst on the front end in summer. Comes off in a normal wash instead of needing a special remover.
- Water spotsHard water dries and leaves mineral rings that etch into the finish. The coating resists them.
- Road salt & brake dustWinter here is hard on paint and wheels. Neither gets a proper grip.
What you'll notice
- Rain runs straight offWater beads up and rolls away, dragging dirt with it. The car stays cleaner between washes.
- Washing takes half the timeNothing sticks properly, so there's far less scrubbing to do.
- Fewer new scratchesMost swirl marks come from washing. An easier wash means less damage every time.
- Deeper, wetter shineThe coating seals in the corrected finish rather than sitting dull on top of it.
- No more waxingDone once and it lasts 1 to 9 years, depending on the package. No reapplying every few months.
- Holds its valueA car with protected paint photographs better and sells for more.
Worth saying plainly: a coating is not scratch-proof or stone-chip-proof — anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. It resists light marring, not impacts. It doesn't replace washing either; it makes washing easy. And it won't hide swirls that are already there, which is exactly why paint correction comes first.

Deposit & Cancellation Policy
- The deposit is 20% of the starting price and is credited in full toward your final balance. It reserves a specific appointment slot on a specific date.
- Cancel or reschedule more than 48 hours before your appointment and your deposit is refunded in full, or moved to a new date — your choice.
- Cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, or fail to arrive, and the deposit is non-refundable. The slot was held for you and turned away from other customers, and it can no longer be filled at that notice.
- Your technician inspects the vehicle and makes recommendations before any work begins. You decide which of those you want and which you'd rather skip. The final price is confirmed from what you approve, and work starts only once you've agreed to it.
- You are free to decline. If the confirmed price isn't one you want to go ahead with, say so at that point and your deposit is refunded in full.
- Rescheduling caused by weather, or by us, never costs you the deposit.

How a correction runs
Quality over speed. Always.
A correction is permanent — clearcoat doesn't grow back. This is the order every job follows, and why each step exists.
01
Inspect & Measure
Paint depth readings across every panel and a defect map under raking light. This tells us how much correction the clearcoat can take — the difference between a safe job and a burned-through edge.
02
Wash
Foam pre-soak to lift grit without dragging it, then a two-bucket contact wash with clean media. Most swirl marks in the world were put there during washing, so this step is deliberate.
03
Decontaminate
Iron and fallout remover for embedded brake dust, tar solvent for road grime, then clay to shear off whatever is still bonded. Paint has to be bare before a pad touches it.
04
Correct
Compounding to cut the defects, then refining stages to bring back gloss. One stage for light swirling, three for neglected paint. Test spot first, every time.
05
Panel Wipe & Coat
Every panel stripped of polishing oils so nothing hides a defect or blocks the bond, then the coating laid down level and given its cure time. Rushing this is how coatings fail early.
06
Final Inspection
A last pass under inspection lighting, which shows everything daylight hides. You see the car before we leave and we walk the panels together.
