A very rare car (at least in the US) was in this week to get shined up and protected! This 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce was taken under the knife (polisher), finely cutting away faded, stained & swirled single-stage paint, then refined for even more gloss, depth and shine, all while preserving as much of the original paint as possible. A ceramic coating was applied after for additional depth and gloss, and a slick hydrophobic surface making the car so much easier to maintain. Thank you Mark!

Another truck leaving the shop sooo much better than when it came in! This '22 Trail Boss was recently bought in Fargo, but the paint had a number of deep scratches, dullness, and swirls. The paint measured a bit thinner than I'd like, so any deeper defects weren't chased after in order to preserve as much of the clear coat as possible (and thank goodness it didn't go somewhere else where they could have easily burned through the clear coat!).

With some touch-up paint and multi-step correction work, the deeper scratches became far less noticeable, light and moderate swirls were polished away, and the overall gloss of the paint was significantly improved.. and better yet, a multi-year coating was applied for additional gloss & shine, with incredible slickness and hydrophobics that will keep this truck looking better for far longer! Thank you Cameron and Haley!

1981 Corvette came in for a one-step polishing on what I believe is the original paint on this sporty classic! Touch up paint was applied to several small chips, and a slick ceramic sealant was the final step, giving this car an intense and gorgeous shine! Sorry for the lack of photos - busy busy busy!

An absolute beauty, and a real shame the sun wasn't out for photos! This 1972 C10 Stepside was restored many years ago, and recently came under new and sentimental ownership. The paint was already in very nice condition, but a few minor scratches were removed, the interior was refreshed, the paint was given a clay bar treatment to remove old dust embedded in the pores of the paintwork, then an enhancement polishing was completed to boost gloss and shine.. and a ceramic coating was applied after for even more shine, and a smooth slick hydrophobic surface! Be on the lookout for this one at the car show next week!

This bright red 2004 SSR is absolutely glowing after a 2-step polishing and ceramic-infused sealant application all completed in 1-day. I was a bit too short on time for before and after photos, but the final shots speak for themselves with the morning sunlight showing a gorgeous-glowing swirl-free finish! 😌

Another awesome classic! This restored 1967 Camaro RS was recently bought from California, and the owner has been upgrading the car as needed, and I was fortunate enough to be next on the list! With the bumpers off getting re-powdercoated, I had even more access to the paintwork, giving each section of the car 2-4 steps of paint correction, fixing swirls, haze, and an abundance of sanding marks on the hood/front end.

After cutting and refinement polishing, the car was prepped and Ceramic Coated for years of high-gloss shine, incredible slickness, and the easiest washing possible! This car not only shines like crazy, but looks meaner than ever with the blacked out trim.. such an awesome muscle car to work on - thank you Austen!!

14-year-old MasterCraft looking like new after a deep-clean, conditioning, water spot removal and ceramic sealant applied! All interior and exterior surfaces (including the trailer) were cleaned with biodegradable cleaners. Vinyl seating and trailer tires were conditioned with a biodegradable SPF-70 sunblock sealant to repel both moisture and dust. Here we bring your boats back to life, looking amazing, all while safekeeping your lakes from unnecessary or hazardous chemicals! 😎

Not rushed. Not "good enough". Not what you find just anywhere. Higher standards means taking the time others don't.. 2023 MasterCraft X24 deep-cleaned, conditioned & protected inside, outside, and the trailer too. All completed with safer & biodegradable cleaners and conditioners. Is your boat this ready for the water??
