PAINT CORRECTION

There are many ways that scratches and swirls can develop in your paint no matter how well you maintain your vehicle, to some degree it's unavoidable. They degrade the glossy look, color, and feel of your paint and a correction is the only viable option to fix this. We utilize a variety of different compounds, polishes, and high-end tools to perform this.

CERAMIC COATING

Ceramic coatings are stronger, longer lasting, and more hydrophobic than any conventional wax or sealant. They provide a hard barrier that keeps your factory clear coat safe from chemical etching and light scratches/swirls that maintenance washing can cause.

HAND WASHING

Car washes, whether touchless or with spinning brushes (we call those scratch-o-matics) use harsh non ph balanced chemicals that don't properly lubricate the paint before washing which will accelerate clear coat failure and cause scratches and swirls rapidly.

IRON FALLOUT

This is the first of two recommended steps to perform after a wash to ensure the paint is fully free of contamination prior to applying any type of coating, and we mandate this service prior to a paint correction. In this photo you can see the chemicals reacting to all the iron fallout that was left behind even after an extensive wash.

CLAY DECONTAMINATION

This is the second recommended step of decontamination prior to applying any type of coating or performing a paint correction. The iron fallout remover helps remove the larger particles that need a little extra help coming out, the clay bar is the real workhorse for decontamination.

SEALANTS & WAXES

Sealants and waxes will always be a staple in the detailing industry. They are an easier to apply layer of protection that gives your paint that glossy wet look. We offer a multitude of options here depending on what you're looking for.

PAINT OXIDATION

Paint that has been severely neglected and sitting out in the elements without moving can dry out and the top layer of the clear coat will begin to bake, crack, and lose its translucence. It can cause the paint to look like an entirely different color and give it an almost matte finish.

HEADLIGHT RESTORATION

Headlights come from the factory with a thin layer of uv protective film that protects it from the sun. Over time that film does deteriorate and bake off, once it does the plastic underneath will get baked by the uv rays.

WHEEL DETAILING

Wheels and tires usually get the worst exposure to the elements. Brake dust, overspray, dirt, and anything on the road can get lodged in your wheels over time and stain your tires. We offer deep cleaning services for wheels and tires and coatings for both that can last from months to years and make following cleanings easier!

ENGINE BAY

While not seen on a day to day basis it is important to clean your engine bay every so often. Keeping it clean from contaminants and dust/debris can keep metal parts from developing surface rust and increase life on small fragile parts.
