• Light swirl mark reduction
• Light oxidation improvement
• Surface preparation before ceramic coating
• Final paint inspection

Paint correction results depend on paint thickness, previous repairs, clear coat condition, scratch depth, oxidation, and overall vehicle condition. Deep scratches, chips, dents, or damaged clear coat may require body or paint repair.

Wax & Paint Protection

Wax and other paint protection products can improve gloss while adding a temporary protective layer over the vehicle’s painted surfaces.

Paint Protection Services May Include:

• Paint decontamination
• Bonded contaminant removal
• Paint condition evaluation
• Paint polishing where needed

The amount of preparation needed depends on vehicle age, paint condition, previous detailing work, contamination, and the desired finished appearance.
