Six disciplines.
One car at a time.

A complete, plainly-stated index of what we do — and the few things we politely decline. Pricing is a starting figure; written estimates account for the car.

Multi-stage paint correction

Mechanical refinishing of original paint to a true mirror.

A measured, paint-thickness-mapped process. We compound, polish, and refine in one to four progressively finer stages — reading the paint at every pass with both eye and gauge. The goal is not to chase numbers. The goal is to return the finish that left the factory, plus a decade.

Good fit for
  • Cars with original paint we want to preserve, not bury
  • Daily-drivers with years of accumulated swirling
  • Cars heading to coating or PPF
Not the right fit
  • Cars whose paint is at or below 80μm without prior history
  • Cars where the owner expects a one-day turnaround
The stages, in order
Survey
Paint depth in microns on every panel, photographed under raking light.
Stage 01
Compound cut. Defect removal. Slow pace, frequent panel checks.
Stage 02
Polish. Reduce micromarring, restore gloss and clarity.
Stage 03
Refine. Final pass for jewel-finish. By hand on edges and emblems.

2 — 9 yr protection

From $1,200  ·  1 — 3 days

Ceramic coating

Long-life ceramic protection, applied only over corrected paint.

We apply professional-tier coatings from Gtechniq, Modesta, and CQuartz Professional. Every coating preceded by correction — never on top of swirls. Glass, wheels, and trim included as standard. Cure cycles done in the studio, never rushed for a Friday delivery.

Good fit for
  • Cars receiving care for the first time in years
  • Daily-driven cars that see weather
  • Cars about to be parked for the season
Not the right fit
  • Cars with active rust or failing clear
  • Cars whose owners want to wash every day with brushes
The stages, in order
Prep
Panel-wipe with IPA, surface tested for residual oils.
Apply
Coating leveled in small sections, second hand inspects each panel.
Cure
Infrared cure under controlled temp & humidity. 12 — 36 hours.
Top
Optional sacrificial top-layer for daily-driven cars.

Not the right fit
