Precision Care for the Enthusiast

From removing track debris to fine-tuning the interior, we approach each detail with precision and care to ensure your Honda looks its best on and off the track. We understand the level of craftsmanship that goes into legendary models like the Civic Type R and the S2000.

  • ✓Exterior Decontamination: A multi-step hand wash, iron removal, and clay bar treatment to pull embedded LA pollutants from your Honda's clear coat.
  • ✓Bespoke Interior Care: We meticulously clean and condition the specialized fabrics, Alcantara, and racing seats often found in high-performance Honda models.

Restoring the Shine: Paint Correction

Honda paints require a knowledgeable touch. Whether dealing with swirl marks from automatic car washes or light oxidation on a classic model, our paint correction service permanently removes defects. We carefully level the surface to reveal a flawless, mirror-like reflection that simply cannot be achieved by a basic wax.

Preserving the Value:
Ceramic Coatings

Whether you commute daily in an Accord or save your Type R for weekend canyon carves, a professional-grade ceramic coating is the ultimate way to protect your investment. It forms a hard, molecular bond with your clear coat.

Track & Street Ready

Provides a tough barrier against high-speed impacts from bug splatter, road grime, and track debris.

Showroom Gloss

The coating amplifies the paint, giving your Honda a permanent "wet" look that deeply enriches the color.

Hydrophobic Wash

Water and dirt slide right off the surface, making your routine maintenance washes faster and much safer for the paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is paint correction safe for older Hondas like the S2000?+
Yes, but it requires a professional touch. Older clear coats need to be carefully measured and polished to remove oxidation and swirls without burning through the paint. We specialize in safe, transformative correction for classic models.
Do I need a ceramic coating if I park my Civic outside in LA?+
If you park outside, a ceramic coating is one of the best investments you can make. It acts as a permanent sunscreen, preventing the harsh California sun from oxidizing and fading your paint over time, while also protecting against bird droppings.
How do you clean the suede/Alcantara seats in a Type R?+
Alcantara requires very specific, gentle cleaning methods. We never use harsh chemicals or heavy steam that can mat down the fibers. We use dedicated suede cleaners and soft brushes to lift dirt and oils, restoring the original soft texture.
