5.0 from 90+ Google reviewsAlso called a machine polish. It removes defects from the paint itself, where a wax or glaze only hides them for a few weeks.
The fine circular scratches you see in sunlight, mostly from washing.
Mineral marks and light etching left behind by dried water.
Level paint reflects cleanly, so colour looks deeper and sharper.
A coating locks in what's under it, so corrected paint is the right base.
The difference is how many polishing passes the paint needs. We show you a test spot before you choose.

We check the paint under lights, polish a small test area, and show you what a one-step will achieve.
A full wash, iron remover and clay leave the paint clean, so the polisher works on paint and not on dirt.
Trim, rubber and badges are taped off so they aren't marked by polish.
Every panel is polished in sections and checked under lights before we move on.
Polish residue is wiped off, a ceramic sealant goes on, and we walk you through the result.
Most swirls come from washing. These habits keep corrected paint looking corrected.
We aim for a clear, glossy finish with the swirls gone, not a promise of perfect paint.
Every car's paint is different in hardness and history. The test spot shows you the real result on your paint before any work is agreed, and we point out anything that won't come out.

It's machine polishing that removes a very thin layer of clear coat to level out swirls, light scratches and water spots, so the paint reflects cleanly again. You may also hear it called a machine polish, a buff, or a cut and polish.
A one-step correction starts at $600 for a sedan and a two-step starts at $1,000. Full-size trucks start at $900 for a one-step. The price depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint, and you get an exact quote before we start.
Most cars need a one-step, which removes the swirls and haze you see in sunlight. A two-step adds a heavier cutting pass first and suits dark paint or paint with deeper defects. You don't have to guess: we polish a test spot at drop-off and show you the result before you decide.
No. It removes or greatly reduces defects that sit in the clear coat. A scratch you can catch with a fingernail is usually too deep to polish out safely, and rock chips need touch-up paint. We tell you what will and won't come out before we start.
A one-step takes a full day at the shop. A two-step takes longer, and we confirm the timing once we've inspected the paint.
The defects we remove are gone for good. New swirls come from how the car is washed afterward, so careful hand washing keeps the finish. A ceramic coating on top makes the paint easier to wash and helps the result last.
We don't polish repainted panels. Fresh or aftermarket paint can react unpredictably to machine polishing, so we work around those panels and tell you up front.
No. Paint correction is done in shop only, where the lighting lets us see every defect. Mobile service is available for detailing.
Yes. A deposit secures your spot, and it comes off your final bill. It's fully refundable if you cancel more than 48 hours before your appointment, and you can reschedule any time before that. Inside 48 hours, the deposit is kept.
