Process

A Reflection day, start to finish. Full Correction follows the same steps over three days.

  1. 8:30

    Drop-off

    Pull into the bay and leave the keys with us. Show us anything that bothers you: the door ding, the coffee stain, the scratch from the parking garage. Ten minutes, then you're free.

  2. 9:00

    Inspection under the light

    After the wash, we go panel by panel with a swirl-finder light and take a paint depth reading on each one. If a scratch is too deep to polish out, or a panel is too thin to cut safely, we text you a photo before we touch it.

  3. 10:00

    The work

    Machine polish one panel at a time, wipe down with panel prep so no oils hide swirls, then sealant on paint, trim and glass. Interior last, so dust from the cabin doesn't land on fresh paint.

  4. 5:00

    Pick-up

    We walk the car with you under the bay lights and hand over a sheet with before-and-after paint depth readings for every panel. Care instructions for the first week are on the back.

Questions

Will polishing remove the scratch on my door?

If your fingernail catches in it, it's through the clear coat and polishing won't remove it. We'll show you under the light before we start.

When can I wash it after a ceramic coating?

After seven days. Then hand wash only, no brush car washes.

Do I need to empty the car?

Take out car seats and valuables. Everything else gets bagged on the passenger seat.

Do you come to me?

No. Polishing needs steady light and temperature, so all the work happens in the bay.
