Oxidation Removal Restores
Depth, Shine, and Protection

Does your paint look dull, faded, or chalky — like the clear coat is disappearing? That’s oxidation. And left untreated, it just gets worse. Our mobile oxidation removal service targets UV damage and restores your vehicle’s color depth, gloss, and smoothness without the cost of a repaint.

Using professional compounds, polishing tools, and years of detailing experience, we safely remove the oxidized layer from your paint, revealing a smooth, vibrant surface underneath. We finish with high-quality paint protection to keep it from returning.

Visible results in 2–4 hours. No gimmicks, no over-polishing — just real paint restoration done right.

THE DAMAGE GOES DEEPER THAN YOU THINK

Why Oxidation Destroys Your Paint Over Time

☀️ Sunlight + Oxygen = Oxidation
Your vehicle’s clear coat breaks down under UV exposure. Over time, oxygen reacts with the surface, making paint dull, rough, and powdery to the touch.

🎨 Faded, Patchy, and Chalky Appearance
Oxidized paint loses its depth, clarity, and protection. The result is a washed-out, uneven color tone that can’t be fixed with a simple wash or wax.

🚫 Waxes and Detail Sprays Won’t Help
Once the clear coat is compromised, no spray or wax will bring back the shine. You need to remove the oxidized layer, not cover it up.

🛡️ If Ignored, It Only Gets Worse
Oxidation spreads and deepens with time. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent clear coat failure that requires costly repainting or refinishing.

Common Questions
Paint Oxidation

Can I just wax over oxidation?

No. Waxes and sealants won’t bond properly to oxidized paint and will wear off quickly. You need to remove oxidation first for real results.

Will oxidation come back?

Eventually, yes — all paint ages. But after our service and with proper protection applied, your paint will resist UV damage much longer.

We recommend a regular exterior detail to keep your paint healthy, protected, and looking its best.

Is this the same as paint correction?

Not quite. Paint correction removes swirls and defects. Oxidation removal focuses on restoring faded, sun-damaged paint. We can do both if needed.

How long does it last?

With proper maintenance and UV protection (like ceramic or sealants), most vehicles stay oxidation-free for 6–12+ months depending on sun exposure.

Can you fix white, cloudy spots on my hood/roof?

If the clear coat is still intact, yes. If it’s peeling or gone, we’ll be honest — polishing won’t help and repainting may be your only option
