Stage two of a three-stage correction, panel by panel.
Masked trim, gloved hands — nothing touches the paint bare.
How it works
Four steps, and nothing left vague between them.
The part most shops leave fuzzy — what actually happens to the car — is the part we write down. Here's the full pass, start to finish.
- 01
Inspection & quote
We walk the car under LED swirl-finder light, photograph every chip and scratch, and confirm the scope and price in writing before a hand touches the paint.
- 02
Wash & decontaminate
Snow foam pre-soak, two-bucket hand wash, then iron fallout remover and a full clay bar pass so the surface is completely smooth before correction.
- 03
Correct & protect
Machine polishing in as many stages as the paint needs, finished with a 9H ceramic coating or a synthetic sealant — your call, priced either way.
- 04
Inspect & hand back
A second swirl-finder pass, interior wipe-down, and a five-minute walkthrough of what we did and how to maintain it before the keys come back.
From the bay floor
A studio that looks the way it works — controlled and unhurried.
Filtered air, even light and one car in a bay at a time. No two jobs are rushed to make room for a third.
One car, one bay, one detailer at a time
We built the studio around not rushing.
No car shares a bay, and no detailer runs two jobs at once. It's slower than a drive-through wash — that's the entire point of the way we work.

The team
The same three sets of hands on every car.
No rotating contractors. Every detailer here has a stated specialism, and the founder signs off every correction job before it leaves the bay.
- IDA Certified
Marcus Reyes
Founder & Master Detailer
Twelve years behind the buffer. Marcus inspects every correction job before it's called finished.
- PDG Certified
Elena Cruz

Owners
640 reviews, and the same word keeps showing up: wet.
We didn't pick that word — it's what owners keep writing about the finish, unprompted.
I picked the car up and genuinely thought they'd swapped the hood. Three years of highway swirls, gone. Paint looks wet from ten feet away.

Paint correction · BMW M3
Eighteen months on the ceramic coating and I still haven't hand-washed the car once. Rain just sheets straight off it.

They quoted a price on Tuesday, held the bay for Saturday, and texted photos the second it was done. No surprises anywhere in the process.

Questions
What people ask before they book a bay.
Anything not covered here, the studio will answer straight over the phone — no appointment required.
Both. Wash and interior packages can be booked mobile anywhere inside Austin's service loop; paint correction and ceramic coating need our filtered, climate-controlled bay, so those are drop-off or we can arrange collection.
