How It Works
Vehicle Inspection & Prep
We inspect the paint and prep your vehicle with a deep wash and decontamination for optimal coating adhesion.
Paint Correction
Swirls, scratches, and imperfections are polished out to restore a flawless base before coating begins.
Ceramic Application
We apply premium ceramic coating to all exterior surfaces, bonding it to the paint for long-term protection.
Curing & Final Inspection
After curing, we inspect the finish to ensure uniform gloss, durability, and maximum hydrophobic effect.
Before & After Transformation
See the dramatic difference ceramic coating makes—restoring clarity, depth, and shine while adding a durable layer of protection. Every detail counts, and the results speak for themselves.
PAINT CORRECTION FAQ
A: Depends on the package and vehicle size. Stage 1 takes 4-6 hours, Stage 2 takes 6-10 hours, and Stage 3 takes 10-30 hours. We never rush – perfection takes time.
A: We can remove scratches that haven’t penetrated through the clear coat. Deep scratches that reach the base coat or primer cannot be corrected through polishing alone.
A: With proper maintenance, paint correction typically lasts 2-5 years. Protect corrected paint with ceramic coating for longer-lasting results.
A: Yes, when performed by trained professionals. We measure paint thickness and use proper techniques to ensure safe correction without compromising paint integrity.
A: Paint correction is a precise, multi-stage process using specific compounds and techniques. “Buffing” is often a single-step process that may leave holograms and micro-marring.
A: Yes, but the ceramic coating must be removed first. We can correct the paint and reapply fresh ceramic coating after correction.
A: Yes! We bring professional paint correction to your location throughout the East Bay Area. Our mobile unit is fully equipped for on-site correction.
A: Pricing ranges from $399 for Stage 1 correction to $1,000 – $3500 for Stage 3 show car finishes. Cost depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and correction level needed.
