What is Restoration?

At A Auto Detail Service, Restoration takes detailing to the next level. In the detailing sense, it means taking your vehicle as is and returning it to as close to new as possible without major body work, repainting, new carpet or upholstery and at a fraction of the cost. Here are some of the restoration services we offer.

Professional Chip
and Scratch Repair

Is a process we use to fill in or remove deep scratches or chips. If we are unable to remove it, we touch-up the spot by using a special new technology that puts the paint in the chip or scratch only, without any excess around the edges, leaving a clean repair, at about one third the price of auto body repair.

It is not glopped on like most touch-up paint jobs you see. This is a great way to maintain any paint surface without repainting , or simply fix it to prepare for sale or trade in.

Headlight
Restoration

Is the process of restoring the plastic lenses on your headlights, or any of your vehicles exterior lights. This includes scratched, oxidized, peeling, yellowing, dull or fogged lenses.

This is not some household remedy. Sometimes they can be dealt with by a machine polishing process, while others will require a step down sanding process first. Which process we use will depend on the extent of damage. A Auto Detail will then seal the lens and guarantee it for 1 year.

Red Dye
Removal

Is a very unique process. Dyes from various drinks, food, etc., are often next to impossible to remove. At A Auto Detail we have a proprietary process of doing just that without dyeing.

This is not 100% successful. In those cases we can offer the dyeing option. We also offer specialized removal of other difficult substances like ink, rust, crayon, gum, oil, tannin (coffee & tea), etc.

Paint Correction
(Machine Polishing or Buffing)

Is the process of how we correct your paint, or rather, your clear coat or tint coat, from oxidation, scratches, scuffs, scrapes, flaws, defects as well as marring from any number of things, such as bird droppings, sap or bugs, swirl marks, car washes, something rubbing against it, hard water spots, acid rain, sodium and magnesium chloride and UV, etc. This is sometimes referred to as buffing or machine polishing and is generally done using either a rotary buffer or more recently, large throw dual action orbital machines, along with a wide range of both old school and the most advanced tools, pads and polishes.

Mark, the owner of A Auto Detail Service is nicknamed “The Buff Specialist”. With 45+ years of experience, he has extensive knowledge of paint finishes as well as the technology, tools and products to offer you both the best available and most cost effective correction available.

Ceramic Pro Rain
or Rain X For Glass

Wet Sanding has many types of uses. From new paint finishing to remove flaws that occur during the painting process to deep scratch removal.

Also here at A Auto Detail it can be used when restoring a scratched and/or scuffed paint surface to a mirror finish after years of neglect.

Hard Water Spot
Removal From Glass

Here at A Auto Detail we have a special process that we use to eliminate those pesky spots from your windows and mirrors that window cleaners, steel wool and even razor blades can't remove.

It is an inexpensive way to restore the clear vision you deserve.

Carpet Dyeing

In some cases, your carpet may have stains that even the most stringent cleaning will be unable to remove. Years of ground in dirt or oil, and even more common, colored dyes from, for example, drinks or candy that do not always come out completely.

In these cases you may want to consider dyeing. With new technology we can now dye the carpet without leaving it looking dyed or feeling stiff like other processes did in the past.

Paintless Dent
Removal (PDR)

Is an amazing and highly cost effective way to remove minor dents and dings from hail damage, shopping carts, careless door opening, etc…Our PDR expert craftsman can leave your vehicle looking like it never saw a parking lot or storm.

This process is performed by gently massaging the dent from the backside of the panel to its original form. There is no heat, dry ice, or magnesium used.

Our talented and experienced technician is capable of removing a dent up to 3 feet in diameter, and still achieve excellent results. And all at a fraction of auto body shop prices.

Leather, Vinyl, Plastic
and Fabric Repair

This process is awesome for tears, gouges, and burns. This can also apply to worn, faded, sun bleached, and scratched or scuffed surfaces.

The size of, the extent of damage, the age and the location of the torn, burned or damaged area will determine whether it can be repaired as well as the cost.

3M Window Tint

Tint can be applied to any of your automotive glass surfaces. It ranges from 50%- 5%. (this is the amount of light that can come through) It come in our 3M FX-PM that helps protect your belongings by blocking up to 95% of visible light into your vehicle.

Non-metalized film won’t interfere with electronics, satellite radio, GPS or mobile devices, including 5G. Offers strong heat rejection, low reflectivity and ultraviolet (UV) protection at a price that works for you. You can also choose our 3M Ceramic Tint that adds 15-20% additional heat reduction to non-ceramic tint.

3M PPF (Paint Protection Film)
or Clear Bras

For those of you unfamiliar with PPF or clear bras; it is a process of putting on a clear laminate film (alternative to the black Naugahyde bras of the past) on the painted surfaces of you vehicle.

It comes in packages that cover the hood and fenders only, to the bumper, headlights, mirrors, door cups, quarter panels, park lights and virtually any other painted surface that is at risk of rock damage.

Tape or Paint
Pin Striping

We at A Auto Detail can apply a wide variety of colors, widths and patterns. All of our tape is 3M, but we can use other brands of tapes if you prefer. We are also able to remove most existing taped stripes depending on age and condition.

Molding
Replacement

Do you have old and faded moldings? Do you have the fake chrome look moldings that are peeling? In most cases we can replace those with brand new ones from the factory, depending on the age of the vehicle.

In some other cases we can replace them with an after-market molding, at a fraction of the cost of factory. We will always be happy to check your options and let you make the decision.
