2 to 5 hours
Paint correction that takes the swirls out
Shine Boost refreshes tired paint in 2 hours. The Paint Renewal Polish gives swirls, scratches and oxidation 5 hours.
Chapter 01
Swirls, scratches and oxidation dull the clear coat
Paint that has lost its depth usually has one of three things wrong with it: swirls that show up as a haze, scratches that catch the light, or oxidation that turns a deep color flat. In harsh sun, the way the Porsche above sits in a city lot, those flaws are the first thing anyone sees.
A wash and a coat of wax leave all three where they are, because the flaws are in the clear coat itself. Paint correction is the work that takes them out: multi-stage correction for a mirror-like shine.

Refresh or renewal: how the hours split
Shine Boost is the paint refresh, 2 hours, from $320. The Paint Renewal Polish is 5 hours, from $485. What separates them is time on the paint, and time is the honest measure of how much a polish can take out.
Every job starts with a look at the car, the same way our details do: we assess, we deep clean, then we protect. Tell us what you see on the paint and we'll say which block the car needs.
Prices are from-prices for a sedan. SUVs, trucks and vans are priced by size.
Chapter 03
Lock the gloss in before it goes dull again
Correction brings the gloss back. A coating is what keeps the paint easy to maintain once it's there.
Polish can also show wear that was already on the car, and we aren't liable for pre-existing damage. Point out any deep scratch or chipped spot before we start, and we'll work around it with you.

One cell is one hour on the paint
Stages, not a single pass
Both packages sit on the same five-hour scale below. The refresh fills two cells, the renewal fills the row.
Shine Boost
Paint refresh
2 hrFrom $320
2 of 5 hours on the scale
The shorter block, for paint that has lost its shine and needs it back.
Paint Renewal Polish
Longer correction
5 hrFrom $485
5 of 5 hours on the scale
Three more hours on the paint for swirls, scratches and oxidation that a refresh won't clear.
Correction comes first, then the coating. Once the paint is clear, the ceramic coating packages lock the gloss in.
