One car at a time, assessed under real light, corrected by hand — then protected like it matters.
Correction before protection. Always.
Coating over swirls just seals the damage in. So every protection job at The Refinery starts the same way: decontaminate, measure, machine-polish — then protect.

Asked often
Do I need an appointment?
Yes — always. The studio is appointment-only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, closed weekends. Call (555) 010-2030.
Coating or film — which should I choose?
Different jobs. Ceramic coating adds gloss, chemical resistance and easier washing. XPEL film physically blocks stone chips. Many clients combine them: film on impact zones, coating everywhere.
What will it cost?
It depends on condition, size and scope. Sample guide: correction $349+, coating $599+, film $899+, maintenance $89+ — all sample. The firm quote follows the in-person assessment.
Will correction remove my scratches?
Swirls, haze and light scratches — yes. Deep scratches through to primer are a different repair. We assess under proper light and tell you which yours are before you spend anything.
Do you look after the car afterwards?
Yes. Maintenance washes and interior cleaning on a schedule — because a coated car washed badly degrades fast.
