SAY GOODBYE TO SWIRLS & SCRATCHES

PAINT CORRECTION

WHAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY PAINT CORRECTION?

Paint can make or break a car’s entire look. It’s the first thing people notice—and unfortunately, it’s also the first place blemishes tend to show. Every new scratch or mark sparks that sinking feeling in your stomach.

The worst part? Knowing you want it fixed before anyone else spots it. But once the frustration fades, you realize there’s good news: car scratch repair is absolutely possible. That glimmer of hope can turn into real action—and the flawless finish your vehicle deserves.

PAINT CORRECTION PRICING

SINGLE-STEP PAINT CORRECTION

STARTS AT:

$700
(Up To 8 Hours Included)

Usually removes 30-60% of all swirls, haze, and light defects.

Our Single Step Paint Correction is a one-stage machine polish designed to significantly improve your vehicle’s finish without going into full perfection detail. While it won’t remove every imperfection, it delivers a dramatic upgrade in clarity and gloss. On softer paints (such as many Japanese vehicles), this process typically removes 50–70% of swirls, haze, and light defects, while harder paints (like German brands) usually see 30–50% improvement. Every vehicle is unique, so we carefully adjust our approach to maximize results for your paint type, condition, and goals.

The first stage cuts away deeper scratches, oxidation, and defects, while the second stage enhances gloss and sharpens clarity. On most vehicles, this process removes 80–90% of imperfections, striking a perfect balance between cost and results. For drivers who want their vehicle to turn heads with a noticeably upgraded finish, this is the ideal choice.

Restoration Services

Some vehicles arrive in a condition that goes beyond what a traditional detail or paint correction can fix. When paint is heavily oxidized, scratched, or damaged, or when interiors have endured years of wear, a full restoration is required to bring the car back to its former glory. This service is more intensive, combining paint correction, surface refinishing, and deep interior work to address issues that a standard detail simply cannot. Every restoration is tailored to the car’s unique needs, ensuring the results are as close to perfect as possible.

Because restoration work involves significantly more time, labor, and specialized techniques, the pricing and service structure differs from typical detailing packages. Each project is evaluated individually, with the total hours required dictated by the condition of the vehicle and the level of finish desired. Whether it’s restoring the exterior paint, rejuvenating leather and trim, or tackling mechanical aesthetics, our team approaches each restoration with precision, expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
