Paint Correction

Automotive manufacturers now use a water based paint that is extremely easy to scratch, chip, and damage.  They also are using less and less clear coat every year.  Some brands have less paint thickness than a post it note.  Because of this you end up seeing scratches, swirls, spiderwebs, bird dropping damage, bug guts damage, and chips all the time from basic driving.  Since there is not much paint on vehicles it has never been more important to have a trained and knowledgable detailer.  If someone takes too much paint off your vehicle trying to fix it, it will not be able to be repaired or may have the clear coat crack and peel in the near future.  From basic scratch repair to full reconditioning of paint, Shawshanked Detailing is Upstate NY's Paint Correction specialist.  We help and train most local shops, bodyshops, and dealers on how to properly polish and correct paint with the latest technology, tools, and products.  When you need to fix defects in your vehicle, or want it to look like glass, there is nobody else more prepared for the job in our area.  All services include an exterior wash and clay bar treatment and prices are subject to change based on condition of paint.

Are you seeing small scratches and swirls in your paint every time the sunlight or garage light hits it?  These are minor scratches and imperfections in the paint and can take away the gloss, shine, or even dull the color of the paint.  With our Swirl Slayer Service we can eliminate all of the minor imperfection in your paint and have it glow and shine better than it did when it was new.  It will feel smooth to the touch, be more hydrophobic, and paint sealant and wax will last longer as well.  This is also a great package to get ready for a car show or event.

Paint Touch Up Repair
Starts at $199 + Tax Per Panel

We have been repairing scratches and doing paint chips repairs for dozens of auto dealers in Upstate NY for over 6 years and now that we have a shop we can offer the same service to our retail clients.  When we perform a paint chip repair, we fill the paint multiple times until flush with the surrounding paint.  Then we add clear coat and after fully drying we wet sand the chip to blend it into the surrounding paint.  Then we compound, polish, and protect the chip.  This makes it more smooth and less visible while keeping it protected from corrosion.  This can save you hundreds from having to bring it to a bodyshop.  Come out to find your vehicle scratched in a parking lot?  Why go to a body shop to have a huge bill or have to go through insurance?
