Paint Correction in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia

Make your paint look new again, without gambling your clear coat.

Swirls, haze, dealership washing, tunnel washes, and careless “detail” jobs leave paint looking tired fast. Paint correction is the professional process of leveling defects in the clear coat to restore sharp reflections and deep gloss. Done right, it transforms the car. Done wrong, it permanently thins the clear coat and creates buffer trails, holograms, and burned edges.

AMMO Masterclass Certified. 2-3 day service dedicated to your car. No outsourcing. No assembly-line installs.

“After another detailing service left swirl marks on my new Ferrari with only 100 miles on it, I was extremely cautious — but James has earned my full trust.”

1/3 of James' BOOKINGS Are To Fix Sloppy Work.

Big shops win on quick turnaround. They lose on consistency. That’s why you’ll hear “9H,” “graphene,” and “diamond” thrown around—it’s easier to sell labels than process.

What makes a ceramic coating last is proper installation. I don’t rely on buzzwords to sell coatings. You hire an expert so you don’t have to be one yourself.

AMMO Masterclass Certified

Not “shop trained.” Masterclass trained. No shortcuts, no handoffs, no mystery technicians.

ARTISTRY CANNOT BE MASS PRODUCED.

Anyone can apply a ceramic coating. But not everyone can turn it into art. This level of precision can’t be mass produced or taught in a class. It’s the result of obsession, instinct, and hours no one else was willing to put in.

Delivering Beauty, Not Buzzwords.

9H Hardness this, Graphene that. You hire an expert so you don’t have to be one. James has tested every elite ceramic coating on the market and only use the best on his client’s cars.
