Paint correction: starts at $399
Over time, washing, weather and sun leave paint dull and covered in fine swirl marks. Paint correction machine-polishes the clear coat to remove those defects and restore depth and gloss. It includes a full exterior wash and decontamination first. $399 is the starting price for a small car; bigger trucks and SUVs cost more because there's more paint to polish.
Deep scratches that go through the clear coat can't be polished out, and we'll tell you before we start.
Add a ceramic or graphene coating
A coating bonds to the paint and adds a hard, glossy layer that resists UV, road grime and water spots, and makes washing much easier. Coatings are added on top of paint correction, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath. The price depends on the vehicle's size, so text us the year, make and model for a quote.
How long it lasts: standard ceramic coatings last 1 to 3 years, and graphene coatings up to 5 years. Both depend on aftercare.
Ceramic or graphene? Both add gloss and protection.
Boat and RV coatings are quoted per job.
Coating care & timing
Don't wash the vehicle for the first week while the coating cures. After that, hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and skip automatic brush washes. Rinse off bird droppings and tree sap soon.
Weather and timing: coatings need dry conditions to cure. In the rainy months we schedule coatings for dry days or do them in a garage. Covered outdoor spots like carports are still too humid when it rains.
How long does it take? It depends on the vehicle's size and the paint's condition.
