Service details & local availability
Ceramic coating does not erase defects. If swirls, haze, oxidation, hard-water marks, or wash marring are left in the finish, they remain visible under the coating. SPADE evaluates the paint first, then recommends the correction level that fits the vehicle and owner expectations.
Ask about automotive paint correction when swirls, haze or dull reflections remain after cleaning. Spade will explain a suitable correction and protection plan.
Machine polishing requires more control than a basic wash. SPADE confirms the work area before scheduling.
Paint defects must be inspected under usable light so the correction recommendation is honest.
Machine polishing requires dependable power for tools, lighting, and safe workflow.
Correction and coating prep should not be performed in active rain, dust, sprinklers, or heavy contamination.
Safe correction improves the finish; it does not promise removal of every scratch or physical defect.
Gloss enhancement starts at $300, one-step correction at $450, and two-step correction at $700. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition, correction goals, workspace conditions, and whether a ceramic coating will be installed after correction.
Often, yes. Ceramic coating adds protection and easier maintenance, but it does not hide defects. Correction improves the finish before protection is installed.
No. Safe correction can improve swirls, haze, oxidation, and light wash marring. Deep scratches, chips, physical damage, or failing clear coat may remain.
Yes, when the location has a clean, dry, protected workspace with power and enough lighting. SPADE confirms the workspace before scheduling.
Send the year, make, model, color, location, current paint photos in sunlight, and whether you want correction only or correction plus ceramic coating.
Spade is based in San Marcos. For San Marcos service, share your city or ZIP code, vehicle condition and whether a protected workspace is available. Travel, weather and the agreed work determine scheduling.
