The hard truth about Ceramic Coatings:
Paint correction isn't optional. It is absolutely necessary before a coating goes on, even if your car just rolled off the showroom floor.
Why?
Dealerships love to slather cars in heavy glazes, transport waxes, and detail sprays. It hides the micro-scratches and makes the car pop on the lot, but it's a nightmare for ceramic.
If we don't remove it, your coating will fail. Ceramic needs bare, perfectly clean clear coat to bond properly.
If a ceramic coating is applied over those invisible layers of dealer wax, it bonds to the wax instead of the paint. After a few washes, that wax dissolves, taking your expensive coating straight down the drain with it.

Paint Correction Upgrades
(Ceramic Coating Prep)
A 1-Stage Polish (Essential Correction) is mandatory preparation and is 100% included in the base price of our Ceramic Coating Gold package.
If your vehicle requires heavier correction to remove deeper swirls, scratches, and defects prior to coating, the following upgrade fees will apply. (Note: A $250 credit for the included 1-stage polish has already been deducted from these upgrade prices).
2-Stage Polish (Deep Correction Upgrade)
-
Cars: $250

Midsize SUVs: $450
-
Large SUVs / Trucks: $600
3-Stage Polish (Surgical Restoration Upgrade)

Unless your car just rolled off the showroom floor, I’ll need to see it in person to give you an accurate quote. Pop by the shop, and we can evaluate your paint’s true condition together under the lights to determine exactly what it needs.
Correction Stages
-
1-Stage Polish (Essential Correction) included with my Ceramic Gold Package
Light polishing to remove very minor micro scratches or spider webbing, haze, and wax. Ideal for newer vehicles or well-maintained finishes.
-
2-Stage Polish (Deep Correction)
Compound + polish to remove minor to moderate defects, swirls, and light oxidation, not to mention wax glaze.
-
3-Stage Polish (Surgical Restoration)
Our most intensive restoration. Involves a rotary buffer with a wool pad, heavy compounding, and multiple refining stages to level out deep scratches and defects. This is a multi-day surgical process to save paint that others would give up on. Unfortunately, many cars fall in this category.
