01 Arrival

It didn't come in like this.

Every car that rolls in

Road salt, slush and a long Toronto winter.

Before we touch it, we look at it. Properly.

02 Inspection

Every car gets the light test.

Move your light across the paint. This is what a detailer sees, and what a drive-through wash leaves behind.

What's slowly killing your paint

Most damage isn't from the road. It's from the wash.

  1. Drive-through brushesSpinning brushes drag grit from the last hundred cars across your clear coat. That's where swirl marks come from.
  2. Road salt & winter grimeSalt and de-icer sit in seams and on the lower panels, eating at paint and metal.
  3. Bird droppings & bugsAcidic enough to etch the clear coat within days in the summer sun.
  4. Hard-water spotsMinerals left behind by careless rinsing bake into the paint.
  5. The wrong towelOne dirty towel can undo a full detail. We use fresh microfiber, every car.

03 The Bath

Foam first

Nothing touches the paint until the dirt lets go.

Thick, pH-neutral snow foam softens grit and lifts it off the surface.

Then by hand

Two buckets. Soft mitts. A slow, clean rinse.

A meticulous hand wash of every exterior surface.

Detailing · one set price for every car

Coupe, sedan or SUV. Same price.

The walk-around

Clean is where most shops stop.

For us it's where the real work starts.

04 The Purge

04 The Purge

What a wash can't remove

Brake dust is iron. It bakes into the finish.

Iron remover

It turns purple when it bites.

A chemical decontamination dissolves the iron so nothing gets scrubbed into the paint.

05 Correction

Machine polishing

We don't hide swirls. We remove them.

Panel by panel

Until the paint reflects like glass.

Drag to compare

Same door. Same light. One afternoon apart.

06 Armor

Paint protection

An invisible shield over every panel.

Bonded to the paint

Water beads. Dirt lets go.

Protection · correction & ceramic

Correct the paint. Then coat it.

Paint correction polishes out swirls and light scratches. A ceramic coating then bonds to the paint, keeping it glossy, water-repellent and easier to clean for years.
