Who we work with
Some of these cars
you'll never see.
Classic and collector vehicles need a plan that respects their finish, history and intended use. We assess the paint before recommending correction, protection or presentation work for a sale, auction or display.
Tell us about access, privacy and any confidentiality requirements before the project begins. We can discuss the working arrangements along with the scope and schedule.
Paint Correction
Fixing paint,
not hiding it
Glazes and fillers make bad paint look good for a month. Correction removes the defect. On a car that matters, there's no reason to do the first one.
01
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
The foundation of everything else
Compounding and polishing stages matched to the paint in front of us — original single-stage lacquer behaves nothing like a modern respray, and gets treated accordingly.
- Paint depth measured before any cutting
- Swirl, hologram and scratch removal
- Oxidation correction on original paint
- Finish-polished under inspection lighting
02
Wet Sanding & Defect Removal
Restoration-grade
For fresh paint and restoration work that didn't finish flat. We level the surface, then bring it back to gloss through progressive polishing stages.
- Orange peel removal
- Fish eye elimination
- Overspray removal
- Runs, sags and nib sanding
03
Auction & Museum Preparation
Auction presentation
Cars presented under auction hall lighting get inspected harder than cars anywhere else. We prep for the lighting the car will actually sit under, not for a driveway.
- Barrett-Jackson auction prep
- Museum and show floor preparation
- Engine bay detailing and finishing
- Undercarriage and jamb work
04
Protection & Interior
After the work is done
Correction is permanent — you only get so much clear coat in a lifetime. Protecting the result properly is what stops you paying for it twice.
- Ceramic coating for collector vehicles
- Black paint restoration and protection
- Period-correct interior and leather care
- Chrome, trim and glass finishing

Correction once.
Maintenance forever.
Everything on this page is project work — one car, quoted individually. If you have a garage of vehicles that need to stay presentable year-round, that's a standing program rather than a series of one-off details.
