VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED CAR DETAILING & CERAMIC COATINGS
Have you looked at your paint under the sun and saw a web of swirls/scratches? These are called micro-scratches and that’s what hinders your car from shining. How did they get there in the first place? The biggest culprit is usually improper washing and drying methods. Automatic car washes, using low-quality towels or wash mitts can all lead to abrading your paint and installing imperfections.
Unlike our Level 1 - Exterior package that takes only about an hour, Paint Correction process requires more time and energy to achieve the desired results. Our Level 1 paint polishing will remove 50-70% of the imperfections in your paint. For most vehicles, this service is perfect.
**ADDITIONAL COST FOR LARGE SUVs and TRUCKS DUE TO SIZE
