Maximum defect removal — 90-95% of swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation gone. Required before our 10-Year Elite ceramic coating. From $850 sedan.
Two-step is the right choice for most vehicles. But some paint needs a third pass to get where it needs to be. Heavily oxidized paint. Deep scratches that two stages of compound haven't fully resolved. Paint with years of automated car wash damage. Black paint on a show vehicle where every remaining defect under harsh light is unacceptable.
The difference between 75-85% and 90-95% defect removal sounds modest. On dark paint under a shop light, it's clearly visible. Three-step eliminates what's left after two-step finishes.
It's also required before our Elite 10-Year ceramic coating. If you're going to protect your paint for a decade, it's worth spending the time to make the surface as perfect as possible before sealing it.
An aggressive compound on a cutting pad removes the bulk of the defect load — heavy swirls, deep scratches, significant oxidation. Slowest stage with the most passes and inspection time.
Removes scratching left by the heavy compound and begins restoring clarity. Bridges between the aggressive cut and the final finish, addressing remaining minor defects.
Removes any remaining micro-marring from stage two and brings the paint to maximum gloss. Under inspection lighting the surface should be as close to flawless as machine polishing can achieve.
Includes prep wash and decontamination. Required before our Elite 10-Year ceramic coating.
