Order matters
Paint correction first, protection second
A ceramic coating or paint protection film seals in whatever is on the paint under it. That is why we correct the paint first, then protect it. We look at your paint before we quote and tell you how much correction it needs.
Then protect it
Ceramic coating over corrected paint for a slick, easy-to-clean surface; paint protection film on the areas that take rock chips; window tint to finish the car.

Questions
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is machine polishing that removes swirl marks, light scratches and dull spots from your paint so it shines again. It is done before ceramic coating or paint protection film so they go over clean, smooth paint.
How much does paint correction cost?
It depends on your car's size and the condition of the paint. Text us the year, make and model, plus a photo if you can, for a quote.
Do you clean interiors?
We focus on paint correction and protection, not basic interior cleaning. Text us what you have in mind and we'll tell you honestly if we're the right shop.
Do you restore headlights?
Yes. We restore cloudy, yellowed headlights so they are clearer again. Text us a photo and we'll tell you if restoration will work.
Do you powder coat wheels?
Yes. We powder coat wheels in the color you choose, and we finish calipers as well. Text us your wheel size and the color you want for a quote.
Should I do paint correction before ceramic coating or PPF?
Usually yes. A coating or film locks in whatever is on the paint underneath, so we correct the paint first. We look at your paint and tell you how much correction it needs.
Can I combine paint correction with ceramic coating or PPF?
Yes, and most customers do. Machine polishing is already included in every ceramic coating package we sell.
