Paint correction is a multi-step process that removes swirls, oxidation, and light scratches from your vehicle's clear coat. It includes:

• Deep cleaning and decontamination (iron remover + clay bar)
• Tape-off of trim and sensitive areas
• Machine polishing to restore gloss and clarity 
• A final wipe-down for a clean, refined finish
  We offer both 1-step and 2-step corrections depending on the condition of your paint and your goals.

Yes — we offer professional-grade ceramic coatings. We offer professional-grade ceramic coatings exclusively with our 1 or 2-step paint correction service. It’s not a standalone service — ceramic is applied after full compounding and polishing to ensure a flawless bond. This delivers long-lasting gloss, protection, and easy maintenance.

 Each paint correction package includes a professional ceramic protection option. Our 1-step paint correction is paired with an 4-5 year ceramic sealant for enhanced gloss, hydrophobic performance, and easier maintenance. For clients seeking more serious, long-term protection, we also offer advanced 5-10 year ceramic coating options designed for maximum durability and lasting shine.
