01 / Surface diagnosis
Customized appearance packages built from polishing, protective film and long-term surface care. Every quote follows a documented condition check with gloss readings, paint-depth notes and controlled-light photos.
01 / Surface diagnosis
Each package starts with a condition check: gloss readings on three panels, paint-depth notes, and images under controlled light. The readings decide the process, not the other way round.
A
Gloss 30 to 45 GU
Chalky film in the upper clear coat, swirls readable in raking light. Two-stage polishing restores depth and the panel is measured again afterwards.
B
Gloss 55 to 70 GU
Clear coat thickness still near factory figures, defect pattern follows the wash routine. One polishing pass plus a coating keeps the reading stable.
C
Gloss 80 to 88 GU
No correction required. Protective film on exposed panels limits stone chip risk and a fixed care interval keeps the gloss where it started.
Every package starts with the same check: paint-depth readings, gloss measurement and controlled-light photos. Prices are quoted after that check, and the ledger opposite is what we compare against.
| Package | Includes | Coverage | Measured | Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polish | Single or two-stage machine polish, panel wipe | Paint only | Gloss delta 8 to 14 GU | 6 to 9 months |
| Protective film | Pre-cut or bulk film, edges wrapped where accessible | High-impact panels | 150 to 200 µm | 24 to 36 months |
| Long-term care | Coating, wash protocol, interval reminders | Whole vehicle | Beading check | 4 to 6 months |

A single door panel from a 2019 sedan, corrected by hand. Readings taken with the same gloss meter before and after, in the same bay, under the same lamp.
Intervals follow how a car is used, not the calendar alone. Choose the use pattern below, then read the care stage, the product class and the inspection that proves the work was done.
Short runs and tight parking. Film earns its cost on door edges and bumper corners.
Front-end stone exposure. Gloss readings are logged and compared every six months.
Bonded contaminant tests move to a quarterly rhythm from October through March.
| Stage | Product class | Interval | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Coating cure check | Day 7 | Gloss reading matched against the handover sheet |
| 02 | Safe wash routine | 10 to 14 days | Wash marring audit under 6500 K inspection light |
| 03 | Film edge seal | 3 months | Edge lift and seam check, photographed and filed |
| 04 | Decontamination | 6 months | Bonded iron and tar test on lower panels |
| 05 | Coating top-up | 12 months | Gloss delta measured against the baseline reading |
Intervals assume a maintained vehicle. If film was fitted within the last 14 days, or the coating is still curing, the condition check replaces this schedule until the surface is stable.
05 / Studio qualification
Every vehicle enters the same queue: condition check first, work order second. Nothing is polished, wrapped or coated before the readings are agreed in writing.
Paint depth readings across 24 points, gloss units recorded, and controlled-light photos filed under your registration.
Panel list, film thickness target and care interval stated before a pad touches the surface.
Measured results against the intake sheet, plus a washing routine matched to the coating class applied.

Manufacturer coverage applies only with certified installation, product registration and the required maintenance interval. Film does not remove existing scratches, and coating does not stop stone chips. Exclusions are listed in the warranty terms on the services page.
05 / Contact
Every appointment begins with paint-depth readings, gloss measurements and controlled-light photos. You receive the written record before polishing, film or coating starts.
