Paint correction
Machine polishing in stages to remove swirls, haze and light scratches. Most cars need one or two stages. The inspection tells us which.
Usually one to three days in the studioFrom $450 (one stage)Black paint isn't dull. It's scratched.
Automatic washes and dry towels leave thousands of fine circular scratches in the clear coat. Each one catches the light, and together they turn deep black into hazy gray.
Correction levels the clear coat by a few microns, measured before and after on every panel, until reflections go sharp again. Then we coat it, so it stays easier to wash without putting the swirls back.
The 50/50.
Every job starts with a test spot. After the wash, decon and clay, we tape a line down one panel, correct one side, and show you both halves under the same light before we touch the rest. Drag the tape to compare.
As it arrivedCorrected
Same panel, same light. Left of the tape as the car arrived, right of it after correction.
Correct it, protect it, coat it.
Paint protection film
Clear, self-healing urethane film on the panels that take the hits. Stone chips land on the film instead of the paint.
Partial front, full front, track pack or full bodyFull front from $1,500Ceramic coating
A hard, glassy layer bonded to the paint and film after correction. It sets indoors overnight and fully cures over the next few weeks; no water for 24 hours and no automatic washes for a week. Water beads and rolls off, road film lets go with a rinse, and the gloss holds for years, not weeks.
Applied after correction and any film, then left to set indoors overnightFrom $900 with one-stage correctionInterior restoration

Thirty minutes under our lights. We measure the paint on every panel with a depth gauge, tell you what it needs and what it doesn't, and send a written quote the same day.
