How it works

    A full wash and decontamination so the polish only touches clean paint.

Questions

Before you book

What does it cost?

Spot polish is priced by the number of spots. Full correction depends on the package, your vehicle’s size and the condition of the paint. Call (978) 594-1860 and we’ll give you a real number.

Will it remove every scratch?

No. Correction takes out swirls and scratches that sit in the clear coat. Scratches that go through the clear coat, rock chips and peeling clear can’t be polished out. We’ll show you what will come out before we start.

How do I know which step I need?

Book a time or call. We look at the paint in person and recommend spot polish or 1, 2 or 3 steps based on what we see.

Does polishing thin the clear coat?

Every polishing stage removes a small amount of clear coat. That’s why more steps aren’t always better, and why we recommend only what your paint needs.

Should I get a coating after?

It’s the best time for one. A Ceramic Pro coating goes on right after correction and seals in the finish. See our ceramic coating packages.
