Polishing & Ceramic Coating
A lasting finish starts with careful paint preparation.
We serve Cowichan Bay, Duncan, Mill Bay and Cobble Hill. Before we book, we look at your paint in person and make sure there’s a good place to work.

Paint correction — by stage
- Spot polish (single panel) — a door, fender or bumper with light scratches
- Stage 1 — light polish: removes light swirls and surface hazing
- Stage 2 — full correction: removes moderate scratches and oxidation
- Stage 3 — heavy correction: multi-pass compounding for heavier defects
Ceramic coating — what's included
- Hand wash and decontamination (clay bar)
- A light polish so the coating bonds properly
- Professional-grade ceramic coating, applied by hand
- Time for the coating to cure before the car sees rain
- Entry tier — 3 years of protection
- Standard tier — 5 years of protection
Not included
- Deep scratches down to primer or metal
- Dent repair or bodywork
Polishing can’t remove these — they need touch-up paint or bodywork instead. We’ll tell you honestly if a scratch is too deep to fix by polishing.
