Professional Car Paint Polishing In Louisville, KY
Rejuvenate Your Paint and Make Your Car Shine By Removing Scratches
Remove The Paint Imperfections and Reveal The Gloss
Our Level 2 paint correction service aims to eliminate 80% of your paint's swirls, scratches, and other flaws. To maximize the shine and clarity of your paintwork, we do a 2-step correction at this point, which involves intensive cutting and polishing.
Depending on your paints condition, certain scratches won't be completely removed whether the car is new or not. It's possible that the scratches are too deep to properly remove or that the clear coat is too thinned down (we'll measure the paint thickness before we begin).
Once we have determined the thickness of your paint, we can then properly estimate what we can safely remove off your paint. It's not only about getting rid of as many flaws as possible. To maintain the integrity of the paint and keep it within healthy working limits, it's also important to recognize when enough is enough.
And yes, even 4 months after leaving the dealership, the paint on newer cars may still need a 2-step corrective treatment. Despite the fact that you've only possessed the automobile for a few months, it has been handled for many months by several people. The Vehicle is moved and cleaned many times during this period. So even new vehicles leave the dealership with significant swirls and imperfections
You are committing to the car by getting Level 2 paint repair. After the service is over, you must carefully maintain the vehicle if you want to preserve the shine on your paint. In only a few washes, you can easily bring all those swirls and scratches back into your paint if you don't properly wash and dry the car.
If you're looking to sell your vehicle and want to prep it for potential buyers, our Level 1 Paint Polish or Wash and Wax are also fantastic alternatives.

Do you need access to water or power?
We carry our own water and power onboard to get the job done. However, if we’re at your home location, it is sometimes easier (and quieter) to use your power outlets.
How long does this service take?
It all comes down to the condition of the vehicle. Generally speaking, it can take 8 hours or longer to complete.
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
YES! We offer ceramic coatings that give great protection and really gloss up your vehicle. You can also stay with the more traditional wax at no additional price or sealant for a sightly upcharge.
How long do the results last?
This response falls under the "it depends" category. It all depends on how well you maintain the car once you've polished the paint. In a few of weeks, you could easily return to square one if you gave it a $5 car wash at the local wash.
If you properly wash and dry your vehicle, the results will stay for a much longer than compared to if you use a dirty towel and water to wash your vehicle.
What’s the difference between your Level 1 and Level 2 paint correction?
Our Level 1 paint polishing will remove 60 to 70% of the imperfections in your paint.
The Level 2 paint correction removes around 80 to 90% of the imperfections in your paint.
For most vehicles, the Level 1 will be just fine. For those that really want the most results, the Level 2 is your option.
