01
Show-ready gloss
Removes the haze that makes a well-kept car look ten years older than it is.
Inside and out, single-stage polish
Full heritage detail
Our signature day-long service: hand wash, decontamination, a single-stage machine polish and a complete interior detail.
01
The short version
The full detail is what we book when someone says the car has not been touched in a year, or when a car is going to a show, a buyer or a new owner in the family.
It combines everything: the hand wash, an iron and tar decontamination, a clay treatment, a single-stage machine polish that removes light swirls and restores gloss, and the complete interior service.
Cars come in dull and leave with depth. It is the closest thing we have to a reset button, and most customers book it once a year and keep it up with maintenance washes.

How we run it
01
Intake and photos
We photograph the finish under shop lights and note every defect so you can see the before and after.
02
Decontaminate
Wash, iron remover, tar removal and clay. Paint has to be surgically clean before a pad touches it.
03
Polish
A single-stage polish with a soft pad, measured with a paint depth gauge on older and repainted cars.
04
Interior
The full interior service runs in parallel while the paint cures under the sealant.
05
Handover
Inspection under the light bar, then a walkthrough of what we corrected and what would need a second stage.
03
Why it is worth doing properly
Three things customers notice within a week.
02
Six months of protection
The hand-applied sealant holds through a Lowcountry summer and a winter of salt spray.
03
Documented
Before and after photos are emailed to you, useful for sale listings and insurance records.
What moves the price
- Paint condition and whether swirls need a second correction stage
- Vehicle size and the number of painted panels
- Interior condition, especially pet hair and stains
- Trim and badge count on older cars, which slows the polish

Often booked with this
Multi-stage machine polishing
Paint correction
Measured, multi-stage machine polishing that removes swirl marks, buffer trails and oxidation instead of hiding them under filler.
From $750Two to five year paint protection
Ceramic coating
A semi-permanent protective layer applied over corrected paint, with sample warranty terms from two to five years depending on tier.
From $1250Extraction, leather care, deep vacuum
Interior detailing
Steam, extraction and hand-finished leather care for cabins that live through Lowcountry summers, beach trips and car seats.
From $185For most cars yes. Heavily oxidized paint or a neglected interior may need a second day, and we tell you at intake rather than at pickup.
We do not, but we are a ten-minute walk from the King Street shops and two blocks from a CARTA stop.
It is the single best return on a private sale. Cars photograph completely differently after a polish.
