Our ceramic & correction services
Hand-wash discipline, professional ceramic chemistry, and a truck that comes to you. Here's the full menu.
3-Year Ceramic Coating
The 3-Year Ceramic is our entry tier and the sweet spot for most owners. Deep gloss, harder cure, and years of real durability at an approachable price. If you keep cars 3-6 years, this is the tier that pays for itself in resale, easier maintenance and a paint surface that holds up to Iowa conditions.
- Full paint prep - wash, decontamination, and one-step polish
- Premium 3-year ceramic coating on all painted surfaces
- Wheel face coating included
- Glass coat add-on available (highly recommended)
6-Year Ceramic Coating
Five years of professional-grade ceramic protection. Deeper gloss, serious slickness, and a coating that's still beading water aggressively when most ownership cycles end. This is the tier we recommend for owners who keep cars long-term, drive in tough conditions, or simply want the best ratio of durability to cost.
- Full prep - wash, decontamination, polish, IPA wipe
- 6-year premium ceramic coating on all paint
- Wheel face and barrel coating included
- Glass coat included on this tier
10-Year Ceramic Coating
Our flagship coating. Maximum hardness, maximum gloss, maximum longevity. A 10-year professional ceramic coating that, frankly, will outlast most people's interest in their current car. Built for show cars, garage queens, exotics, restored classics, and forever-cars where the goal is paint that looks pristine for the next decade.
- Multi-stage paint correction (1, 2 or 3-stage as needed)
- Full decontamination and IPA wipe
- 10-year flagship ceramic coating - two layers + topper
- Wheel face and barrel coating
1-Stage Paint Correction
1-Stage Paint Correction is a single-pass machine polish that removes light swirls, haze, water spots and early oxidation from your paint. It's not a full multi-stage correction - but for paint in good shape that just needs a refresh, it's exactly the right amount of work, and the gloss difference is significant.
- Full pre-wash, foam decontamination, iron-remover and clay-bar
- Single-pass machine polish on all painted panels
- Removes light swirls, haze, water spots, early oxidation
- IPA wipe-down to reveal true finish
2-Stage Paint Correction
2-Stage Paint Correction goes deeper than a 1-stage. We compound first to remove moderate defects - heavier swirls, etching, light scratches that didn't fully respond to a single polish pass - then refine with a fine polish to bring the finish back to a clean, deep gloss with no compounding haze left behind.
- Full pre-wash, decontamination, iron-remover, clay-bar
- Stage 1: cutting compound on every painted panel
- Stage 2: fine polish to refine and remove compound haze
- IPA wipe-down to confirm correct finish
3-Stage Paint Correction
3-Stage Paint Correction is our most aggressive, highest-clarity correction service. Heavy compound, medium polish, fine refining polish - three machine-polishing passes designed to bring even severely defective paint back to show-quality, swirl-free clarity.
- Full pre-wash, decontamination, iron-remover, clay-bar
- Stage 1: heavy cutting compound on every panel
- Stage 2: medium polish to remove compound haze
- Stage 3: fine finishing polish for ultimate clarity
