Visibly Better Paint.
A Full Reset, Too.
Swirls, haze and dull paint make even a clean car look tired. Restore is our full inside-and-out Reset plus machine paint correction, so your paint looks deeper and glossier again. Starting at $550.
Clean isn’t enough? This is the one.
Restore includes everything in a Reset, then adds paint correction. If your paint already looks good, a Reset Detail is the better fit.

What Restore actually covers.
Real paint improvement, not a full restoration.
Restore is designed for vehicles that need measurable improvement in paint clarity along with a complete interior and exterior Reset. It begins with a full Reset — steam-cleaned, shampooed interior and a fully decontaminated exterior — then adds machine paint correction to reduce visible swirl marks, light scratches, and defects.
Once the paint is refined, a professional sealant locks in the gloss and makes routine washing easier. The level of correction is tailored to each vehicle’s condition, aimed at meaningful, visible improvement while protecting long-term paint health — it's a paint-improvement service, not a full restoration. Headliners are intentionally left alone to avoid adhesive damage. Want longer-term protection after your Restore? Ask about adding a ceramic coating. If your car doesn't need paint correction, a Reset may be all it needs. Not sure? Take our quick quiz and we’ll tell you honestly.

Restore Detail questions, answered straight.
What's the difference between a Reset and a Restore?
A Restore is a full interior and exterior Reset plus machine paint correction and a professional sealant. If your paint doesn't need correction, a Reset may be all your car needs.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
No. Restore reduces swirl marks, light scratches, and haze for visibly better gloss and clarity. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat can't be safely polished out, and we don't repair paint chips. We'll tell you what to expect before we start.
How much does a Restore Detail cost?
A full interior and exterior Restore is $689 for sedans, Wranglers, and small crossovers, $749 for pick-ups and 2-row SUVs, and $799 for 3-row SUVs. Exterior polish only is $550 for sedans and $650 for pick-ups and SUVs.
How long does a Restore take?
About 4 hours for exterior only and 5.5 hours for the full service. Plan on same-day drop-off.
Should I add a ceramic coating after a Restore?
If you want the corrected paint protected long-term, yes. It's the ideal time, since the paint is already clean and refined. Ask us about adding a ceramic coating when you book.
Why don't you clean headliners?
Headliners are held up with adhesive that can let go when it gets wet or scrubbed. We leave them alone on purpose to avoid damage.
