Four stages below Pierce County, Washington

The work

Four stages of black, one lamp.

Most paint looks fine in a driveway and falls apart under a lamp. So that is how it gets judged here — one light, moved slowly across the panel, until there is nowhere left for a swirl to hide.

01

Gloss Enhancement Detail

From $325

Wash, decontamination and a gloss pass over the whole car. The finish comes back deep and even — the kind of black that holds a reflection instead of flattening out.

5-Year Ceramic Coating

From $1,095

The coating goes on over corrected paint and is left to cure. Water beads up and rolls, and the gloss keeps its edge instead of fading into Pierce County weather.

Paint Correction Stage 2

From $750

Two stages of machine polishing to take out swirls, haze and washing marks. Nothing shows until the light hits it — this is the stage that stops it showing.

Wheel-Off Coating

From $350

Wheels come off the car, faces and barrels are prepared, then coated. Brake dust releases with a rinse instead of bonding into the finish.

Faces and barrels

Process

From first look to final wipe.

The stage is agreed with you before anything is booked. No surprises on the invoice, no polishing through paint that did not need it.

  1. 01

    Wash and assess

    The car is washed and decontaminated, then read under the lamp. Swirls, water spots and deeper defects get pointed out and written into the plan.

  2. 02

    Correct the paint

    Machine polishing, one panel at a time, until the haze and washing marks are gone. This is the stage that makes gloss look wet instead of grey.

  3. 03

    Coat, cure, hand back

    Coating goes on panel by panel and is left to cure. You get the car back with plain wash guidance so the finish keeps its edge.

In-bay in Tacoma, or mobile across the South Sound. Coating, correction and wheel-off work can be combined in one visit.
