Scottsdale · Paint correction & 9H ceramic
Every swirl is light scattering the wrong way. Drag across the panel to strip the haze into a coated, mirror finish — and watch gloss, defect removal and protection read out on the meter, the way we log every car that leaves the bench.
No hard sell, no membership. Just a paint-depth reading and an honest plan — most first visits take twenty minutes.
Three ways in
Every package starts with a two-bucket hand wash and a paint-depth reading, so we never cut clearcoat we can't measure.
$180/ visit
Our maintenance wash for coated & uncoated cars — the reset that keeps swirls from ever starting.
from $1,450/ multi-day
Full correction, then our 9H ceramic — measured, cured under infrared, and warrantied for eight years.
from $650/ 1–2 stage
For the enthusiast who wants defects gone but isn't coating yet — swirls, holograms & oxidation cut back.
The bench, step by step
No mystery, no "trust us." Five stages, and you get the numbers from both ends.
We map clearcoat thickness in microns across every panel with an electronic gauge, so correction stays safely inside the paint.
Foam, two-bucket wash, iron dissolver and clay pull bonded fallout the wash leaves behind — the surface has to be clean before it's cut.
Under raking LED, we compound and refine by hand-checked passes until swirls, holograms and etching read out of the gloss meter.
Panels are wiped to bare, coated with Lustre C9, then flash-cured under IR so the 9H layer cross-links hard, not soft.
We re-read the gloss, photograph each panel, and hand you the before/after sheet with your warranty card.
The reflection test
Gloss isn't shine — it's how sharply a surface returns the light above it. Here's the same overhead strip, reflected off four finishes we measured this month.
Readings taken on a 60° gloss meter under fixed studio light. Every finish is drawn live in your browser — no photos, no filters.

“I've had three shops touch this car. Lustre is the only one that showed me the paint-depth numbers first, then the gloss reading after. The GT3 looks wet standing still — and eight months of Arizona sun later, it still beads like day one.”
