Questions

Before we touch the paint.

Can you get scratches and swirls out?

Machine polish removes most light scratches and the swirl marks that show up on dark paint. Deeper scratches we'll look at first and tell you honestly what's possible.

How long does a hand wax last?

A good hand wax holds up for a couple of months of normal driving. If you want it kept that way year-round, ask about the Maintenance Program.

Do you do dark and black paint?

It's our specialty - the colors that show every swirl and water spot are exactly what we're known for.

Can you come to me?

Yes - we come to you anywhere in San Diego County, or drop it at the shop at 3860 Kearny Mesa Rd.
