Two Step Paint Correction

Tires: We start with a tire cleaner to remove mud and dirt off the tires 

Wheels:  A wheel cleaner is used to remove road film and dirt built up on the  wheel (rims)
Note: Painted wheels will be cleaned as safely as possible to avoid scratching. This may not remove all dirt in the barrell.

Wheel wells: This area is powerwashed to remove as much dirt and mud as possible.

2. Paint is washed

Exterior paint is pre-rinsed to loosen up large debris. Then it is hand washed with a plush pircrofiber to avoid scratching.

3. Paint is clayed with a synthetic clay mitt

The paint receives a clay bar treatment to remove any debris stuck on the paint. This is a very important step to ensure that the wax adheres as well as possible. 

Note: A synthetic clay mitt is very safe but may not remove heavy contaminants like tar, heavy iron or tree sap. If your car has any of the previously mentioned, please  out our Old School Detail Service.

4.  Plastic Trim is tapped off

When compounding or polishing a car, a small layer of clear coat is removed from the top. This helps remove swirl marks caused by car washes or other elements that our vehicles are exposed to. It may also reduce the appearance of heavier scratches by even out the clear coat around it. 

A two step correction is especially recommended for cars with harder paint or cars that go through brush car washes. German cars also tend to have harder paint, even when new.

5. The car paint is polished and waxed

The compounding is followed by a finishing polish to bring out even more gloss from the paint. Finally, the car is waxed to seal in and protect the paint.

7. Trim is cleaned and conditioned

Do you have deeply faded trim or simply want to keep it as vibrant as possible? Add-on our trim restoration and ceramic coating service ($30-$60) for years of shine and protection.
