DECON WASH & PROTECT
-
Pre-soak foam bath, chemical iron decontamination/fallout removal, bug removal, wheels and tires deep-cleaned, scratch-free hand wash, followed by a clay bar to remove embedded surface contamination, dried with compressed air and high-quality microfiber, and protected and shielded in a ceramic SiO2-infused sealant for up to 6 months!
-
This is actually what my original "Level 1" exterior service was when I first opened years ago, and I wanted to bring it back as additional service for those not seeking polishing, but still looking for a meticulous deep cleaning, paint exfoliation and upgraded protection! Your paint will feel silky smooth and slicker than ever! A decontamination wash is recommended 1-2 times per year. Vehicles with light oxidation or heavy contamination would benefit more from a LEVEL 1 polishing.
-
** Estimated time involved is 3-4 hours **
-
$150-$250 for small-large vehicles
LEVEL 1 (ENHANCEMENT POLISH)
-
Recommended for newer cars or previously well maintained vehicles, or for those simply looking for a moderate polishing, with superior exterior protection applied to all paint, glass and trim, with an increase in gloss, depth & shine. Also great for those looking to sell or trade-in their vehicle and wanting to get more value for it!
-
EVERY exterior package begins with the most in-depth and advanced wash process your vehicle has ever experienced - my wash process alone can take 2-3 hours. After a deep cleaning and exfoliation of the paint, the paintwork will receive an all-in-one compound and finishing polishing to remove light (& some moderate) defects, swirls, and fading, and enhance clarity, gloss and shine. After tires and trim are conditioned with UV protection, the glass and wheels are well-protected in a ceramic SiO2 sealant, while the paint receives a very slick and glossy resin-based polymer sealant that can last up to 12 months!
-
Examples: ZL1 Camaro / C6 Corvette / 300C SRT8 / Porsche / Wrangler / MTK / Caddy XT6 / Grand Cherokee / Charger Daytona
-
** Estimated time: 5-8 hours **
-
$300 for coupes/convertibles
-
$350 for sedans & compact SUVs
-
$400 for midsize vehicles
-
$450 for trucks and large SUVs
LEVEL 2 (REJUVENATION POLISH)
-
Where Level 1's primary focus is gloss enhancement, Level 2 gets deeper to remove scratches and swirls. A great option for daily driver vehicles (or any vehicle) looking to bring that shine back without the need for perfection. Removes several+ years of neglect and defects! While results are paint dependent, a minimum of 80%-90% defect removal can be expected.
-
Consist of a 2-step, cutting compound & finishing polish, that boosts depth & gloss, removes light & moderate defects, while removing or minimizing heavier defects, leaving the remaining ones far less noticeable. Paint is then stripped of any oils, dust and residue before applying a ceramic primer, followed by a slick and glossy graphene-oxide ceramic resin-based sealant for added durability and protection for up to 12 months!
-
Examples: Viper SRT-10 / ShelbyCobraGT500 / '21 Denali HD / Silverado / Ram 2500 HD / Equinox / Red Z28 / BMW / Tahoe / Challenger / Jag XJ6 /
-
** Estimated time: 10-16 hours **
-
$600 - $900
-
pricing varies by vehicle size and condition
LEVEL 3 (RESURRECTION POLISH)
-
Also known as the "Perfection Level". Where Level 1 and Level 2 are restricted by a time-table, Level 3 is not restricted by a set time and is paint-condition specific. Recommended for either severely neglected paint work with excess swirl marks and deeper scratches, or for those seeking a true show-car, flawless finish. Recommended for vehicles that have been neglected for many years, or are chasing perfection.
-
A multi-stage correction where wet-sanding, compounding & polishing are all completed in separate steps as needed. Touch-up paint is applied where needed. Same protection as Level 2, or upgrade to the ultimate ceramic coating protection!
-
Engine bay detail included at no extra charge
-
Examples: Thunderbird / F-250 Platinum / Denali HD / Camaro SS / XK-R / '95 Camaro / Black Sierra Doors / Prowler Results
-
** Estimated time: 3+ days
-

-
Door jambs degreased, scrubbed, cleaned and rinsed
-
Fallout/iron chemical decontamination performed as well as bug, tar and/or road grime removal as needed with high pressure rinse

Proper 2-bucket wash/rinse contact wash with only the highest quality microfiber wash mitts to minimize any chances of swirl marks
-
2nd decontamination process with clay bar to remove bonded/embedded contaminants as needed - necessary for any polishing later to prevent particles getting into polishing pads
-
Vehicle is thoroughly dried with high quality microfiber towels and compressed air to minimize surface contact
** Polishing steps are completed at this stage, and followed by: **
-
Deep restoring, nourishing & conditioning of all exterior plastics and trim with UV protection to resist fading
-
Chrome/metals polished, wheel wells shined
-
Sealant applied to wheels for added protection and water resistance

Glass given a final cleaning for a streak-free crystal clear view, then protected with silica/ceramic sealants
