WHAT IS PAINT CORRECTION?

Also known as swirl mark removal or machine polishing, paint correction is the reduction or removal of marks in the top layer of paint to produce a more highly defined and clear finish.

Paint correction can involve either the hand or machine application of varying grades of cleanser, polish or compound. The majority of work is usually done with dual action and/or rotary machine polishers to get the best level of correction done efficiently.

Good paint correction requires a high degree of skill and concentration. It can transform the look of a car by dealing with (amongst other things); hard water marks, etching caused by bird muck or fly squash, swirl marks, scratches and fading.

What is Ceramic Coating?

For any car owner, keeping a car pristine and clean can usually be a challenge. The go-to solution has always been automotive wax to help protect the paint. But this requires periodic application (sometimes frequent re-applications) in order to maintain the wax coat, as it is slowly broken down and removed due to exposure of elements or performing a standard car wash.

Enters Ceramic Coating.

A Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer or Si02 silica that is hand applied to the vehicle's exterior. After application, the coating creates a semi permanent bond with the vehicle's paint, creating a layer of protection. The new aged ceramic coating does not break down like your traditional wax and does not require you to re-apply every so often like standard wax would.

  1. Does my Brand New Car need paint correction? Yes, due to the fact that your Brand New vehicle will still have light: marring, scratches, water spots, adhesive from temporary protection film, etc. Multiple hands will touch your brand new car prior to you owning it. Hands from: transportation, dealerships, first car wash, technicians (mandatory pre-delivery inspection before being sold), test drives, sitting on lot for some time, and so on and so forth.

  2. Why are you so cheaper than other places? We feel that our price point is fair for the amount work being done. We have a certified, insured, and experienced team that has a combined dealership & customer service experience of over 20 years combined.

Certain shops and ceramic coating products require you to come in every year for a mandatory annual checkup/inspection. This inspection will usually be an additional charge on top of your original payment. We do not require the client to come in for the yearly "inspection" as the products we use are warrantied to last as intended. We stand behind our products and our service.
