We've Worked on Cars Worth More Than Most Houses.
Platinum Auto Care is the most trusted name in classic and collector car detailing in the state of Oregon. We don't just clean cars — we restore them. Every panel, every curve, every inch of paint is treated as if it's going under auction spotlights, because often it is.
We've prepared vehicles that sold for multiple millions of dollars at Barrett-Jackson. We've serviced Oregon's most exclusive private collections — collections so rare they're never seen by the public, and our team operates with full NDA discretion. We prep cars before they go onto museum show floors. We are the team collectors call when they can't afford anything less than perfect.
Three Pillars of Classic Car Excellence
Most detailers can wash a car. Very few can restore a legend. Here's what sets Platinum apart.
We prep more Barrett-Jackson auction cars in Oregon than anyone. Collectors trust us to get their vehicles show-ready before shipping to Arizona. Every car leaves our hands looking like it just rolled off a restoration floor.
We work with Oregon's most exclusive private collections — many of which are not open to the public. Our team is NDA-experienced and operates with complete discretion. Your collection's location, vehicles, and owners stay private.
When a vehicle is going onto a museum show floor, the standard is absolute. We prepare cars for public and private museum display — paint so refined it becomes part of the exhibit, not just a cleaned surface.
The Team Behind Oregon's Barrett-Jackson Cars.
Barrett-Jackson is the most prestigious classic car auction in the world. The cars on that floor are under intense scrutiny — buyers, bidders, and enthusiasts examine every inch. We are the team Oregon collectors trust to make sure their vehicle stands out for all the right reasons.

We Remove What Others Can't. We Restore What Others Won't.
Classic car paint is decades of history. We treat it that way. Our correction services are surgical — removing only what needs to go while protecting the original finish underneath.
Full compound and polish stages to remove swirls, scratches, water spots, and oxidation. We restore original paint to like-new or better-than-new condition — without cutting deeper than necessary.
Hardcore correction for severe defects. Wet sanding levels the clear coat uniformly, eliminating deep scratches, runs, or heavy oxidation that polish alone can't reach. Done by hand, with precision.
That textured, dimpled surface you see in factory paint? We level it out completely. Orange peel removal transforms a production paint finish into a show-quality, glass-smooth surface that reflects everything.
Fish eyes in the clear coat or color coat are repaired at the source. Whether from a previous respray or contamination during refinishing, we identify and eliminate fish eyes for a uniform, flawless finish.
Paint, primer, or industrial fallout that doesn't belong on your classic — gone. We safely remove overspray from all exterior surfaces without damaging the underlying finish or original paint underneath.
Once the correction is done, we seal the results. Ceramic coatings or hand-applied sealants protect restored paint from future contamination, UV damage, and oxidation — keeping your classic looking perfect for years.
Black paint shows every flaw — every swirl, every scratch, every water spot. It's also the most rewarding color to correct. When we're done with a black car, it doesn't just shine. It reflects the room like glass.

Finished for Display. Not Just for Driving.
Museum-grade preparation is a different category entirely. Visitors walk by at close range. Lighting is harsh and directional. Every panel needs to be perfect. We understand that standard — and we deliver it.
Full exterior and interior detail specifically calibrated for display lighting. Paint correction, interior deep clean, glass treatment, and final inspection before your vehicle goes on the floor.
We understand how display lighting interacts with paint. Our finishing process ensures flawless reflection at every angle — in gallery spotlights, natural light, and everything in between.
Display vehicles need regular care even when not driven. We provide scheduled maintenance services to keep collection vehicles in perfect condition through every season.
How We Handle Every Classic Car
Every classic car is different. We start with a full paint and surface assessment — identifying correction needs, existing flaws, and the right approach before anything touches the car.
We build a service plan specific to your vehicle, your timeline, and your goal — whether that's auction prep, show display, or collection maintenance. You know exactly what we'll do before we start.
Our team works methodically — panel by panel, step by step. Paint correction on a classic car isn't rushed. We do it right, with the level of attention the vehicle deserves.
Before we hand the vehicle back, we do a full inspection under professional lighting. If it's not perfect, we fix it. We don't deliver anything we're not proud of.
