Paint Correction

Car Paint Polishing

Remember how good your car’s finish looked when you first saw it on the showroom floor? The depth and gloss of the paint are what made you fall in love with the car in the first place, and it is precisely that which draws the most attention. Sure your car’s finish may still shine, but shine means nothing without the depth and clarity that only comes from proper machine polishing performed by an Advanced Paint Correction Specialist

Remove Swirls in your Paint

Paint correction (swirl removal), is a labor-intensive process utilizing nano-technology abrasives (compounds and polishes). The art of safe, modern, and proper buffing techniques is what separates the true professional detailer from all the rest, and it is a skill-set that is mastered by very few. We’ve spent a lot of time fixing work that was done incorrectly by unskilled buffer operators from other detailers, body shops, manufacturers, and dealership prep departments.

Choose Your Paint Correction Level

Level 3 | Compound, Polish, Ceramic Coat

Starting at $1400 for cars and $2200 for SUVS/Trucks (size dependent see examples below).

*Prices for this package are as follows, but subject to change with paint inspection as time could vary on paint correction on poor repaints, dealer prepped vehicles, repairs from other shops in the area and heavy swirls.

$ 1400 Soft top convertibles and small coupes (miata, brz, z4, F-Type Jag)

$ 1800 Coupes, sedans, small SUV's (X1, Rav4, Q3, Q5, Escape)

$ 2200 Medium and large SUVs, Trucks

Our signature top of the line package we are known for!

The level 3 package is what separates our shop from many others, we understand paint so we can remove swirls and light scratches and not leave any micro hazing for a concourse finish. Like we talked about in the level 2 package, in the level 3 package we use a 2 step correction process to remove swirls and most scratches then do a second step to refine the paint and remove the light hazing we put in removing the swirls and defects in the paint for a perfect finish under multiple light sources.

We have been transitioning this process to be called a multi-step correction, because we don't just do one pass with compound and then do one pass with polish and call it good, After the working time of the compound chosen was done and removed, we inspect the paint, if there are still light defects remaining, we do the same compound step over the same spot again so the remaining defects were removed. Then we always finish with a refinement polish for the perfect finish. With this process, we remedy 90-97% of all paint defects and topped with our professional ceramic coating.

This coating is good for 3-7 years depending on maintenance, use and environment. Glass is coated for that crazy rain x effect we all love and plastic is coated to keep it rich looking and easy to clean. In all of our packages, wheel faces are also coated along with door jambs.

Level 2 | Enhancement of Paint

Starting at $1200 for cars and $1500 for SUVS/Trucks

*$1200 Coupes, sedans, small suvs (Rav4, X1, Q3/Q5/ Escape)

$1500 Medium, Large SUV's and Trucks

Substitute Professional Ceramic Coating, 3+ year durability: Add $300*

Our level 2 is an enhancement of the paint. This package starts to get into some light paint defect and swirl removal topping with consumer based ceramic protection which lasts years instead of months. This includes the decontamination and wash of the level one but next we put a machine polisher on it for defect removal. The only way to remove swirls and light scratches is machine polishing. The old school way of waxing is just like putting makeup on the paint, wax fills in the swirls until a couple washes later and all the swirls are back and possibly more.

With a one step polishing, you can expect to remove most swirls and enhance the finish to have a fantastic shine and gloss. Typically results show a 60-80% removal of defects under our professional correction lights and a drastic difference outside.

The reason it is called a one step polish, is because we only use one step, so it is a polish or light compound depending on paint condition, If we used to heavy of a compound or polish, you would get more defect removal, but light haze and micro swirls will be left in the paint. This is where the two step correction comes into play, using a second step to remove the light hazing and micro swirls from the aggressive compound.

Paint is then coated with consumer ceramic coating, which is good for 1-3 years depending on use of the vehicle. maintenance and environment. Glass is coated for semi-permanent rain-x effect. Plastic is restored and coated and wheel faces are also coated.

Level 1 | Decontamination & Protection

Starting at $250 for cars and $350 for SUVS/Trucks

Our level 1 is very similar to our ceramic coating maintenance wash, this is focused on getting the paint clean and healthy. Contamination is the enemy and it keeps building on painted surfaces that does not come off with a typical car wash.

Ultimate New Car Prep

The Best Time to protect your vehicle

Just because a vehicle is brand new, it doesn’t mean that it is perfect. In most cases, new cars need to be machine polished to remove imperfections and to bring the gloss and clarity up to its full potential. Likewise, new vehicles come with no protection on the paint, wheels, glass, interior, etc. to keep it looking its best for a long time to come.

We detail a lot of brand new vehicles from daily drivers to exotics and everything in between…we regularly have brand new cars shipped to us from all corners of the United States specifically for our new car preparation to get them started off right

Because not every car is the same, and not every owner has the same wants and needs, we offer a variety of new car preparation and protection services. If you have a new car that you’d like to schedule for our new car preparation and protection services or have specific questions, please call us
