1-Step $600-1200

This is a gloss enhancement package, not full paint correction. A good option for customers looking to remove light blemishes from their paint, enhance the gloss, or prepare a new vehicle for Ceramic Coating. This removes roughly 40% of swirl marks from the paint using a hybrid compound/polish on a foam pad, applied with a Flex 3401 polisher.

2-Step $1200-1800

This process involves 2 steps of polishing. A more aggressive “cut” using a compound on either microfiber or wool pads, followed by a light polish to refine the paint, and remove any holograms from the compound step. This removes roughly 70% of swirl marks from the paint. Combining the 2 steps creates a deeper gloss by leveling the paint and removing imperfections. The lack of imperfections is what creates gloss.

3-Step $2500-4500

For those who must have the best. A full day is done on the first step. We cut the paint, wet sand deep scratches, finesse paint blemishes, and get it as good as possible. We come back the next day, and cut the paint again with fresh eyes, looking for even more defects to remove. The paint is then cut again, using a lighter foam pad, to refine the first step and make sure there are no holograms or buffer trails, all the while adding even more gloss. The third step is a jeweling process using a light foam pad and a very light polish. Even though the paint looks perfect, we can enhance the gloss with this jeweling polish, and make the color look darker, wetter, and shinier. This process will remove 90% of swirls, leaving only imperfections we deem too dangerous to remove.
