Paint correction · Ceramic · Dents · Wheels · Cascais
We measure, correct and protect, by machine and by eye. Every job starts with a free assessment at our studio in LACS Cascais.
01 — What we fix
Swirls, wash marks and dullness live in the clear coat, a layer thinner than a sheet of paper. Polishing takes off a few microns and the colour underneath comes back.
The spider-web you see in sunlight. Left by brushes, dirty mitts and bad polishing.
Keys, branches, parking. If it hasn't gone through the clear coat, we can usually level it out.
Years of Cascais sun and salt air. The colour looks flat and chalky until the top layer comes off.
Also in the studio
Quoted at the same free assessment. If it needs a body shop, we'll tell you straight.
Door dings, parking knocks, a shopping-trolley mark. Small damage, not collision repair.
Quoted at assessment
Kerb rash and deep scratches on alloy rims, smoothed and refinished so the wheel looks whole again.
Quoted at assessment
02 — How we work
Wash, clay and iron decontamination, then every panel under a swirl light. You see what we see.
A paint-depth gauge on every panel, before and after. We only remove what the clear coat can spare.
Cut, then refine. Panel by panel, checked under the light between passes, until the defects are gone.
Sealant for six months, or a ceramic coating for two to three years. Water beads off, washes get easier.
03 — Three levels
Prices are starting points per car. We confirm the level and the final price at the free assessment, before any work starts.
Level 1 · about 5 h
For newer or well-kept paint that has lost its gloss.
From€180
Level 2 · about 10 h
For daily drivers with visible swirls and wash marks.
From€380
Level 3 · about 15 h
For neglected paint, deep scratches, or a car you're keeping for years.
From€680
04 — Before you ask
Yes, when it's measured. We check clear-coat thickness on every panel before we start and only take off a few microns. If a panel is too thin, we tell you and leave it.
Most, not all. If your fingernail doesn't catch in it, polishing usually removes it. Deeper scratches can often be reduced a lot; if one has gone through to the primer, it needs paint, and we'll tell you at the assessment.
Small dings and parking knocks, usually. Large dents, creased panels and collision damage need a body shop. We look at it at the free assessment and tell you honestly.
Enhancement Polish takes about five hours. Paint Correction and Paint Recovery + Ceramic Coating take longer; we agree drop-off and pick-up with you at the assessment.
Sealant protects for about six months and comes with Enhancement Polish and Paint Correction. A ceramic coating lasts two to three years, makes washing easier and resists UV and chemicals. It's included in Paint Recovery + Ceramic Coating and available as an upgrade on Paint Correction.
Bring the car to LACS Cascais. We inspect the paint under light, measure it and show you what each level would achieve. You get the final price before any work starts. No obligation.
