How booking works
1You pick a service and the days that suit you. Tell me where the car will be: your driveway, a work parking lot or an apartment parking space. A $20 deposit holds your day and comes off the price. I confirm the time by text, usually within a day.
2I check the car with you before I start. I photograph any damage that is already there and confirm the price with you before I touch anything.
3You pay when the work is done. You look the car over first, then pay the rest by card, cash, check or Venmo. Maintenance plans are billed monthly.

More than one vehicle?

What wash swirls are. They are the fine circular scratches you see around the sun or a streetlight on your paint. Automatic car washes, dirty sponges and old towels put them there.
What is included
Everything in Interior + Exterior.
Iron remover to dissolve brake dust that is stuck in the paint.
A clay bar treatment to pull bonded grit out of the paint.
A second wash, so no grit is left to be ground in during polishing.
Trim and edges taped off before polishing.
One machine polishing pass with a dual-action polisher, which removes most light swirls and wash marks.
An alcohol wipe-down, so the sealant bonds to clean paint.
A foam sealant on every painted panel, which beads water and adds gloss for a couple of weeks.
When I am done, most of those circles are gone from the reflection.

Ceramic Coating
I machine-polish the paint to remove swirls and light scratches. Then I seal it under a ceramic coating that protects it for about three years, or four with the top coat.

I need shade, and a garage is better. A coating cannot go on in direct sun or onto a hot panel.
If you have a garage, I work in yours. If you do not, you can leave the car in my garage in Hays overnight and pick it up the next day.

What a coating does
A freshly corrected door panel on a 2003 Yukon.
The coating protects the paint from bird droppings.
Droppings are acidic. In summer sun they start etching bare clear coat within hours and leave a dull mark that only polishing removes. On a coating, one you find the next day usually wipes off clean.
It also protects the paint from bugs, tree sap and road salt.
All three bond into bare paint. On a coating they sit on top and come off with far less scrubbing.
Water runs off instead of sitting on the paint.
It sheets straight off a coating, so the car dries without the spots the hard water here leaves behind.
The car is quicker and gentler to wash.
Dirt lets go of a coating easily, so you rub less, and less rubbing means fewer new swirls.
The sun fades the paint much more slowly.
UV light fades bare clearcoat over a few Kansas summers. A coating works like sunscreen and slows that down.
A coating does not wash off.
A wax or a sealant wears away and has to go back on. A coating bonds to the clear coat and stays for years.
What a coating will not do. It will not stop a scratch, a stone chip or a shopping cart. It will not save your paint from a dry sponge or a brush wash either. It is a few microns thick, so it protects against chemicals, not against abrasion.
Why I polish before I coat
Swirl marks are the fine circular scratches you see around the sun on washed paint. A coating locks in whatever the paint looks like on the day it goes on, so they have to come out first. Every coating includes a one-step machine polish, which removes most of them.
Washed, never polishedMachine polished
This is a simulation, not a photograph. Drag across the panel to move the light.
How the day goes
You send me two photos of the paint in daylight, or I look at the car in person. I give you an exact price, usually the same day.
I photograph the car before I touch it. Then I wash and decontaminate the paint, machine polish it, coat it and do the full interior detail, all in one day.
The coating needs 72 hours to cure. Keep the car dry and do not wash it in that time.
After that, hand wash it every two weeks or so with a pH-neutral car soap. A touchless wash is fine. A brush or tunnel wash will scratch the paint the coating sits on.
I come back a couple of weeks later for a free check-up wash, and I check the coating again every year.

What is included
Starting price
Two-step paint correction
A cutting pass and a refining pass remove nearly all swirls. No coating goes over it, and a full interior detail is included.
from $400
What the extra $250 covers
The same coating goes on the glass, the painted or finished trim, the wheels, the headlights and the taillights. Those parts take the worst of a Kansas winter, and coated wheels and glass stay cleaner between washes.
What every correction and coating includes
Preparation is most of the job, because a coating locks in whatever the paint looks like underneath it.
Full paint decontamination comes first: wash, iron and fallout remover, clay bar and an alcohol panel wipe.
Machine polishing with a dual-action polisher and cutting and finishing pads. I do not hide swirls under a hand-applied glaze.
The wheels, tires and door jambs are cleaned, and the car gets a spot-free deionized final rinse.
What polishing cannot do
Polishing removes defects inside the clear coat. A scratch that catches your fingernail has gone through it, and that needs a body shop. Badly neglected or previously buffed paint may need extra stages, which I quote after seeing it. I will tell you before I start, and I will tell you when correction is not worth your money.
Every plan starts with a one-time Protection Setup, $190 for a car, and then I come back as often as you choose. At every visit I hand wash the car, clean the wheels, tires and glass, and finish with a spot-free deionized rinse. Inside, I vacuum, wipe down the surfaces and clean the glass, door jambs and mats.
Regular visits keep the car from getting very dirty, so each one takes less time, and I pass that saving on to you. You can change how often I come or cancel at any time. There is no contract.
Protection Setup
$190
one time · about 3–4 hours on site
Every plan starts with this one-time visit. I decontaminate the paint, clay it and seal it with a foam sealant that beads water for a couple of weeks, and I give the inside a base detail: vacuum, wipe-down, glass, door jambs and mats.
Do you have more than one vehicle?
Every fleet is priced by quote, because it depends on how many vehicles, how often, and where they sit. Tell me how many vehicles you have and I will send you an exact price, usually the same day.

Your price from your photos
This is the price for the vehicle in your photos. If it needs noticeably more work on the day, I tell you before I start, and you can say no.

The $20 deposit
Every booking takes a $20 deposit. It comes off the final price. It is not refundable if you cancel. If the day you chose is not open and I have to cancel, you get it back in full. Paying by card adds a 3% card fee on top, shown before you pay.
Or pay it all now
You have booked with me before, so you can pay the estimate instead of the deposit. Your card is kept on file for add-ons you approve on the day, and I still confirm the day with you.
The estimate is for the vehicle in the photos you sent. If it needs noticeably more work on the day, I tell you the price before I start, and you can say no and have all of it back. Paying by card adds a 3% card fee on top, shown before you pay.
