Swirls & spotsAfter correction
This slider is an illustration, not a photo of one of our jobs. Polishing removes swirls, spots and light scratches; a scratch that goes through the clear coat can't be polished out.
- 1Wash
A full hand wash so we never polish dirt into the paint.
- 2Clay bar
The clay glides over the paint and picks up bonded grit the wash can't move.
- 3Water spots
Mineral and acid-rain spots removed before they etch deeper.
- 4Overspray
Specks of paint or sealer from nearby work lifted off safely.
- 5One-step polish
One pass that restores gloss and softens light swirls.
- 6Multi-step correction
A cutting step for heavier swirls, then a finishing step for clarity.
- 7Protection
Optional spray ceramic to keep the new shine and make washing easier.
We start with a proper wash and a clay bar to pull out the grit a wash leaves behind. Then we take care of water spots and acid-rain marks, and overspray if your car caught paint from a nearby job. With the surface truly clean, we polish.
A one-step polish brings back gloss and softens light swirls; it's the right choice for most daily drivers. When the paint has heavier swirls and light scratches, a correction of two or more steps cuts deeper first and then refines the finish. Josue looks at your paint in good light and tells you which one makes sense, so you don't pay for more than you need.
Correction is a big job, so it's one of the few where we ask for a deposit to hold the day. We can finish with a spray ceramic to protect the new shine. All of it happens in your driveway or garage in Manchester, NH, with our own power.

Questions about this service
Do I need a one-step polish or a full correction?
Most daily drivers look great with a one-step polish. If the paint has heavy swirls or light scratches, a multi-step correction is worth it. Josue checks your paint in person and tells you honestly.
Can you remove any scratch?
No one can polish out a scratch that goes through the clear coat. If your fingernail catches in it, it's probably too deep for polishing. We'll tell you before we start.
Do you ask for a deposit?
Yes, for paint correction and ceramic jobs we ask for a deposit to hold the day. Smaller washes and details don't need one.
We come to Manchester and towns within about an hour.
