Paint Correction / Polishing / Ceramic Coating Services
This Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating package is the highest level exterior detail I offer. This service is geared towards renewing your paintwork to a like-new, or better than new finish, and protecting your paintwork for years to come with a professionally installed Ceramic Coating. The Paint Correction (polishing, buffing are synonymous terms) process removes scratches, swirls, micro-marring, etchings, holograms, chemical stains, oxidation, and various other surface defects attributed to your vehicle’s paintwork. See photos above.
New and old cars alike must be polished before installing a Ceramic Coating. This is to remove as many surface defects as possible and leave a perfect surface behind so the Ceramic Coating can properly bond to your vehicle’s paintwork. It is common to receive new cars from the factory or dealership with various surface defects and imperfections in them at the time of purchase, even Porsches, Audis, BMW, and many other high-end vehicles. It is rare to have a perfect car upon purchase or delivery, and polishing is the gold standard when it comes to having a new car delivered to you, better than new. To have that flawless car finish you expect from a new vehicle (1-1000 miles), polishing is performed before Ceramic Coating to ensure a flawless finish.

Approximately 90% of vehicles I see for this service have under 20,000 miles. The best time to have your vehicle polished and ceramic coated is when it is as new as possible, and before damage like scratching, etching, spotting and other imperfections can start to occur.
A Ceramic Coating is an extremely durable, and long-lasting protection solution your car. The Ceramic Coating I install is a 3-5 year coating with proper upkeep and maintenance from.
Maintenance is very easy and can be performed by the customer, or by me when you return for a maintenance detail. This Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating package is the highest level exterior detail I offer, and is a restoration, and long-term solution for protecting your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s paintwork is polished to a perfectly smooth glass-like finish, and a professional grade Ceramic Coating from Gtechniq is installed, protecting your vehicle’s paintwork for years to come. A ceramic coating adds tremendous gloss, making future detailing easier due to slickness, fantastic water beading, strong chemical resistance, and even keeping your car cleaner for longer due to anti-static properties.
After the service, I will walk you through the work performed, areas I noticed while working around your car, and give you tips and guidance on how to maintain your freshly Ceramic Coated vehicle.
I reserve a day and a half (1.5 days) for all Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating jobs. Early drop off evening prior to 7pm is also available (exception to Sunday).
