Paint Correction is a meticulous process that involves removing defects in your vehicle’s paint, such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots. Over time, your vehicle’s paint can become dull due to environmental factors and improper washing techniques. Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove a fine layer of the clear coat, eliminating surface imperfections and restoring the original shine and gloss.
Removes Deep Scratches and Swirl Marks:
Paint correction effectively eliminates swirl marks, light scratches, and other surface imperfections.
Restores Gloss and Clarity:
By removing oxidation and defects, paint correction brings back the depth and brilliance of your vehicle’s finish.
Prepares for Ceramic Coating:
Paint correction is an ideal precursor to applying a ceramic coating, ensuring the surface is flawless and smooth for long-lasting protection.
Increases Resale Value:
A corrected, swirl-free paint job can significantly boost your vehicle’s market value by improving its appearance.

Paint Enhancement is a more affordable, single-step process that focuses on improving the overall gloss and shine of your vehicle’s paint. While it won’t remove deeper scratches and defects like paint correction, it’s ideal for vehicles with minor imperfections such as light swirl marks or surface dullness. Paint enhancement is perfect for newer vehicles or for those that don’t require extensive paintwork correction but still need a boost in appearance.
Improves Gloss and Shine:
Paint enhancement restores the vehicle’s gloss, leaving the paint with a fresh, reflective finish.
Affordable Alternative:
Compared to full paint correction, paint enhancement is a cost-effective option for those who want to improve their vehicle’s appearance without a significant investment.
Quick Turnaround:
Since it’s less intensive than paint correction, paint enhancement takes less time, making it a convenient option for minor paint imperfections.

I didn’t grow up dreaming about detailing. My pops had real deal OCD when it came to cars — spotless, perfect, everything done a certain way. And me? I used to run from that. If he called me to help wipe down a car, I was gone, already halfway down the street with my friends.
Life got funny though… because everything I ran from ended up becoming the thing that saved me.
When COVID hit, I caught it. It knocked me off my feet and made me rethink everything. I was working security making $10 an hour, barely surviving, and after getting sick I realized that wasn’t the life I wanted to go back to. So I quit — no safety net, no idea where my next dollar was coming from.
That’s when detailing came back into my life. The same skill I avoided as a kid became my lifeline. I picked up a bucket and a vacuum, and somehow that turned into my first clients. Then more. Then more. Detailing literally kept me alive when I had nothing else.
Now it’s my passion. I love seeing a car transform, watching a customer smile, and knowing I brought something back to life. I’m constantly learning new skills — paint correction, interiors, coatings — because I want to take this as far as it can go. Long-term, I’m building myself into one of the top detailers in my city, skill-wise and service-wise.
Funny how God works… He took the thing I ran from and made it the thing that’s building my future.
I’ve always had an eye for the small details, which naturally led me into the world of detailing. Over the past 6 years, I’ve turned that passion into a craft—focused on restoring, protecting, and elevating every vehicle I work on. My long-term goal is to build a strong reputation for quality and care. What I enjoy most is seeing customers light up when they see the transformation. My philosophy is simple: treat every car like my own, work with precision, and never cut corners.
