The problem
Swirl marks, haze and light scratches that show in the sun, often from automatic brush washes or dry wiping.
What we do, step by step
Jesse brings 5 years of detailing experience to every vehicle.
Clay bar first (add-on). Bonded contaminants are lifted off the paint with a clay bar before any polishing.
Why it matters: Polishing works on clean paint, so grit is not dragged across the finish.
Step 1 machine polish. Removes about 70% of scratches.
Why it matters: A clear jump in gloss and clarity for the lowest correction cost.
Step 2 machine polish. Removes about 85% of scratches.
Why it matters: Most swirls and light scratches are gone, for a deeper, cleaner reflection.
Step 3 machine polish. Removes 90 to 99% of scratches.
Why it matters: The closest to a like-new finish that polishing can deliver.
An honest limit. Deep scratches need a repaint, and we do not offer repainting.
Why it matters: You know what to expect before you pay.
Protect the result. A ceramic coating is recommended after correction.
Why it matters: It helps keep the corrected finish protected, so the money you put into the paint lasts.
