Look closer

The difference is in the reflection.

This divided hood shows why we assess the paint under lighting before choosing a correction process. The aim is better clarity with a level of correction suited to the finish.

All prices are starting prices. Vehicle size, condition, and extra work affect the final quote. Deep scratches, chips, and failing clear coat may require repair rather than polishing.
Protection options

Considering a coating as well?

We can quote correction and ceramic coating together. Your estimate will state the polishing included and the chosen protection, so you are not adding two separate packages blindly.

Before your appointment

Pricing & drop-off.

Condition-based pricing

All listed prices are starting prices. Additional charges apply for excessive dirt, heavy soiling, pet hair, or other conditions requiring extra work. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and the service needed.
