Professional multi-stage paint refinement for vehicles with heavier swirls, scratches, and oxidation. We inspect your paint before we touch it, and we tell you what it can and can't do before you book.
Request a QuoteOver time your paint collects swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation, mostly from washing. They dull the finish and flatten the reflection.
Correction removes them permanently. A machine polish levels a microscopic amount of clear coat so the defects are gone, not filled. That distinction matters more than it sounds: there are glazes and fillers that make swirls disappear for a few months and then let them all come back. Both cars look perfect in the parking lot on pickup day.
That's also why we inspect first. Clear coat is finite and you don't get it back, so we inspect the paint before we polish and tell you what level of correction makes sense. If the reading says a heavy correction isn't wise on your vehicle, you'll hear that before you book, not after.
Correction restores the gloss and depth the paint had when it was new, protects resale value by showing the vehicle was cared for, and creates the surface a ceramic coating needs to bond properly and perform as intended.
A coating locks in whatever condition the paint is in. Correction is what makes it worth doing.
Two different levels of paint work, and most vehicles don't need the heavier one.
A single polishing pass. Removes most light swirls and brings gloss back. Included in our Diamond Elite detail and in most ceramic coating installs.
A compounding pass followed by a refining pass. Two to three times the polishing work, which is why it costs more.
Priced below.
Exterior service. Final pricing is confirmed after we evaluate the paint's condition.
Add a full interior restoration for $250 to $400 depending on size. Or see our Diamond Elite detail, which includes a one-step enhancement and the complete interior.

Nothing skipped, nothing improvised.
Wheel faces, barrels, tires, and inner fender liners cleaned first, so nothing is reintroduced to clean paint later.
Thick foam application and a gentle hand wash. Door jambs, gas cap, and bug residue safely removed.
Iron particles embedded in the paint are chemically dissolved and rinsed away.
Remaining bonded contaminants removed, leaving the paint smooth to the touch and ready to polish.
Trim, chrome, and delicate surfaces taped off to prevent polish buildup or staining.
We inspect the paint across every panel and note what we find. That number tells us how much material is safely available to correct, and where we stop. If a panel reads thin, you hear it before we touch it.
A machine polisher, cutting pad, and compound safely remove the majority of swirl marks and scratches.
The paint is polished to remove the micro-scratches left by compounding, increasing clarity and gloss. This second pass is what separates multi-stage correction from a one-step enhancement.
Polish residue is removed and the paint is inspected under proper lighting to confirm the true condition of the finish.
Based on your selected option, a sealant or durable ceramic coating is applied to the corrected surface.
Exterior trim and tires dressed to a clean, even finish without greasy residue.
All exterior glass and mirrors cleaned streak-free, then a final inspection with any touch-ups addressed.
Worth knowing before you book, not after.
If a scratch catches your fingernail, it has likely gone through the clear coat. Polishing can soften how it looks but cannot remove it. That's a paint repair, not a correction.
Some vehicles, especially older ones or those polished aggressively before, don't have enough clear coat left to correct safely. When the gauge says that, we tell you and recommend a lighter approach instead.
Stone chips and deep impact damage are missing paint, not scratched paint. Correction improves everything around them but won't fill them in.
Bird droppings and hard water left too long can etch below the level that's safe to remove. We'll tell you honestly how much will improve and how much will remain.
Final pricing is confirmed after a brief consultation or inspection. We'll inspect the paint, tell you what level it actually calls for, and quote it before any work begins.
