Single Stage Polish - $500-$1,000
After the 6 step wash process each panel is prep wiped to remove any residual dirt left behind from the clay bar/surface prep process. We then perform a few test spots to find a polish and pad combo that is going to level as many of the surfaces scratches and marring as possible in 1 step. This process actually removes the imperfections as opposed to just filling them in with fillers like waxes and glazes do. Since we're only using 1 step in this process it is important to find a combo that doesn't haze the finish, and still leaves a high level of gloss and optical clarity. On new vehicles this process usually removes the majority of scratches and imperfections; however, most used vehicles only achieve 60-70% correction. The vehicle is then prep wiped to remove any residual polishing oils and a polymer paint sealant is applied. Any chrome on the vehicle receives a quick metal polish to brighten and exterior plastics are treated. The tires are dressed and the wheels are wiped down using a synthetic spray sealant. Exterior windows are cleaned and the windshield is protected with a short term hydrophobic sealant to aid with visibility during inclement weather. This package typically takes 9-18 hours to complete.
Paint Correction - $1,000-$2,500
Every paint correction starts with the 6 step wash process. Each panel then recieves a few IPA wipe downs to ensure the paint is clean for polishing. Paint thickness is measured and recorded using a paint thickness gauge to ensure there's enough clear coat for the leveling of scratches. Next we carry out 2 stages of machine polishing in which we first compound or "cut" the heavier swirls, RIDS (Random Intermitant Deep Scratches), oxidation, and marring from the clear coat achieving ~90% correction. Then using ultra fine polishes we refine the paint bringing out a brilliant deep gloss shine even on black finishes. The vehicle is then prep wiped to remove any residual polishing oils and a polymer paint sealant is applied. Any chrome on the vehicle receives a quick metal polish to brighten and exterior plastics are treated. The tires are dressed and the wheels are wiped down using a synthetic spray sealant. Exterior windows are cleaned and the windshield is protected with a short term hydrophobic sealant to aid with visibility during inclement weather. Minor paint corrections typically take 15-30 hours to complete.
