Level 2: 1 Step Correction
RECOMMENDED FOR: 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 3: Compound, Polish and Ceramic Coat
RECOMMENDED FOR: 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.
