Intake & inspection
Drop the car off with me or I come to you — either way, we examine the paint together under proper lighting and note the swirls, scratches, oxidation, and anything that needs special attention.
Foam & hand wash
A thick foam bath lifts the loose dirt off the paint, then a careful hand wash removes the rest. Wheels, undercarriage, grills, and more are also cleaned as thoroughly as possible.
Decontamination
Iron remover and tar remover dissolve the bonded fallout that a wash can't touch, then a clay bar pulls out whatever remains embedded in the paint. The surface comes out genuinely clean and ready for correction.
Paint correction
Machine polishing, panel by panel. One-step uses a single polishing stage to remove light-to-medium swirls. Two-step adds a compounding pass first for deeper defects. Most of the hours go here, and so does most of the transformation.
Panel wipe & prep
Every panel gets wiped down with a prep solvent to strip the polishing oils. The coating bonds directly to bare clear coat, so this step decides how well, and how long, it holds.
Ceramic coating
The ceramic coating goes on panel by panel, followed by a topcoat for extra gloss and sharper water beading. I apply it in a controlled space and check each panel under light before moving on.
Cure & final inspection
The coating needs several hours to set before the car can get wet. While it cures, I vacuum and wipe down the interior, seal the glass, and give the whole car a final once-over. At handoff, I walk you through the results and the aftercare.
