Service 03 / Paint Correction

We measure your paint before we correct it

Multi-stage machine correction for swirl marks, oxidation and wash haze. Each panel takes eight ultrasonic depth readings before a single pass is made.

Three stages, each with its own reading

  1. 01

    Assess and map

    Depth, gloss and defect photos recorded panel by panel. The 600 UAH assessment fee is credited in full against the work if you book within 14 days.

  2. 02

    Cut and correct

    Compounding removes swirl marks and heavy haze. Passes stop at the clear-coat figure measured in stage one, never beyond it.

  3. 03

    Refine and record

    Finishing polish, panel wipe, then inspection under 6500K light. Final readings go on your certificate.

Correction is not protection

Correction restores the surface; it does not resist damage. Film absorbs physical impact such as stone chips. A coating changes surface behaviour, so washing is easier and light marks wipe away sooner. Most clients pair a two-stage correction with one of the two.

  • Swirl marks and wash haze lifted across the full body
  • Gloss meter gain of 15 to 22 GU on the assessed panels
  • No panel left with less than 30 µm of clear coat
  • Readings recorded before and after, in writing

All figures are in UAH and shown as starting prices; the final quote depends on panel count and paint condition. The studio is a single-tax payer, so VAT is not charged separately.

Services / Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating changes how your paint behaves

We measure your paint before we protect it. Eight depth readings per panel tell us the clear coat we are working with, and those numbers decide the preparation, not a sales script.

What we apply

A 9H-class SiO2 coating from one accredited product line, laid in two layers over corrected paint. It resists UV, road salt and chemical fallout, and it makes washing easier. It does not resist stone chips. If you want impact protection, that is film, and film is a different job.

  • Coating: 9H SiO2, two layers
  • Wet thickness: 2 to 3 um per layer
  • Cure: 24 h touch, 7 days full
  • Baseline: 8 depth readings per panel

Gloss reading after cure: 92 GU

Maintenance requirements

  • pH-neutral hand wash every 2 to 3 weeks.
  • No brush tunnels and no automatic wash lines.
  • Annual inspection with a top-up layer.

Manufacturer-stated service life of 3 to 5 years with the recommended maintenance wash routine.

Starting price

From 14 500 UAH

VAT included for a full-body application. The 600 UAH assessment covers eight depth readings and a written report, and the full fee is credited against your booking within 14 days.

04 / Paint protection film

Film takes the impact so your factory paint does not

A clear urethane film bonded over your existing clear coat. It absorbs stone chips, road grit and light abrasion on the panels most exposed to traffic, and the original paint underneath stays untouched.

Film specification

Top layerUrethane, self-healing
Film build190 µm ± 5%
AdhesiveAcrylic, removable
Gloss level92 GU
Warranty5 years

Self-healing behaviour. Light surface marks in the film's clear top layer flow back at roughly 40 °C, so sun exposure or a warm maintenance wash closes them inside the manufacturer's stated window. Cuts, tears and impact damage do not heal, and that panel section is replaced instead.
