Paint correction
Swirls, scratches and water spotting sit at different depths in your clear coat. We inspect the panels under direct light first, then recommend the lightest stage that will actually fix what's there. You'll hear what we found before anything gets polished.
STAGE 01
Single polish step
One machine polishing pass to clear light swirls, wash marring and dullness. Brings back reflection and depth without cutting deeply into the clear coat.
STAGE 02
Compound, then polish
A cutting step to level moderate swirls, buffer trails, light etching and oxidation, followed by a refining polish to remove haze and finish the paint down clear.
STAGE 03
Cut, refine, final jewel
Heavy cutting — with wet sanding where it's warranted — then two refining passes to a mirror finish. The most correction paint can safely take.
We take clear coat thickness readings before we cut. Paint is a finite resource — nothing gets removed that shouldn't be, and we'll tell you when a defect is too deep to chase.
Ceramic coating
We're certified installers for CARPRO and Gyeon. Certification means the coating is applied by a trained installer, in a controlled shop, to the manufacturer's process — decontamination, correction, panel wipe, then cure. That process is what decides how many years you get out of it.
A coating built for glass. Rain beads and sheets off at highway speed, wipers work less, and night glare from oncoming headlights drops noticeably. It also makes spring bug season and winter road film far easier to clean off.
Coating always goes on after correction. A ceramic locks in whatever is underneath it — including swirls — so we correct first, every time.
Also in the shop
Everything below can be booked on its own or combined with a correction and coating package. If you're not sure what your vehicle needs, bring it by and we'll look at it under the light.
PDR
Door dings, creases and Calgary hail damage worked out from behind the panel. No filler, no repaint — your factory finish stays factory.
Optics
Yellowed, hazy lenses sanded back and refinished with a UV-stable coat. Clear lenses put light on the road where it belongs.
Localized
Isolated scratches, sap etching and run marks levelled by hand, then polished back to match the surrounding panel.
Paint
Chips on hoods, bumpers and mirrors filled and levelled to keep moisture out and stop them from turning into rust.
Glass
Star breaks and bullseyes resin-filled before they run. Caught early, a chip is a quick fix instead of a new windshield.
Not sure
Send photos through the form or drop by the shop. We'll tell you what's correctable, what isn't, and what we'd do if it were ours.
