Prepare |
||
| Signature Auto Finishing believes that every job it performs deserves the same meticulous level of preparation. Thus, we have only one option for this service and it is thorough and will have your paint ready to accept any level of Correction or Protection. | ||
| Power wash surface dirt from paint, wheels and wheel wells. | ||
| Apply “Power Foam” to soften and loosen above-surface dirt. | ||
| Hand-wash using a combination of soft, waffle-weave towels. Blow-dry crevices, emblems and other hidden areas using powerful blasts of heated, filtered air. | ||
| Using a specifically designed chemical product, remove metal particles which have become embedded in the paint. This includes brake dust, rail dust and other metals which are invisible to the eye, but exist on virtually all cars and which cannot be removed through normal wash methods. | ||
| Using a “clay-bar” method, remove remaining embedded contaminants including environmental fallout, acid rain and dried bug remains. | ||
| Wash and dry a second time and wipe the surface with a product designed to remove all remaining oils and achieve a perfectly smooth and clean surface. | ||

| This process requires three to four hours. | This process requires 10 or more hours of meticulous work. | A second machine-polishing step will be performed to add depth of shine and eliminate any hazing or micro-marring introduced during the compounding step. |
| Upon evaluation, a third polishing step may be undertaken in select areas to ensure the deepest possible shine. | ||
Paint Protection Services |

| Clean and dress tires with a low-gloss dressing. | ||
Nano-Ceramic Coatings – The Ultimate in Protection
Signature Auto Finishing highly recommends application of a nano-ceramic glass coating. These coatings are scientifically designed to provide the highest degree of protection and gloss. The nano-particles seep into the pores of your paint and create a strong, molecular bond which, in essence, becomes a new layer of clearcoat for your car. This layer of protection will shield your car’s paint from environmental contaminants and ensure your car’s value is preserved for years to come. Coatings help reduce adhesion from grime, road salt and other contaminants, making ongoing maintenance washes much quicker and easier.
