What We Offer

1-Step Polish

Our 1-Step Polish is designed for vehicles that have lost some of their shine but don't require extensive paint correction. Using professional polishing equipment and compounds, we remove a large portion of light swirl marks, wash-induced scratches, oxidation, and paint haze while dramatically increasing gloss and depth.
This service provides the best balance between improvement and value. Most vehicles experience a noticeable transformation in clarity, reflection, and overall appearance after a single polishing stage. While deeper scratches may remain, the finish will look significantly brighter, smoother, and more vibrant.
Perfect for daily drivers, newer vehicles, and owners looking to restore a deep, glossy finish without the time and expense of a multi-stage correction.

  • Small Cars: Starting at $150

  • Mid-Size Vehicles: Starting at $170

  • Large SUVs & Trucks: Starting at $190


2-Step Paint Correction

Our 2-Step Paint Correction is designed for vehicles with moderate to heavy swirl marks, wash-induced scratches, oxidation, and paint defects. This process combines an initial cutting stage to remove deeper imperfections followed by a refining polish that restores maximum gloss, depth, and clarity.
The result is a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your vehicle's paint. Many customers are amazed by how much younger their vehicle looks after a proper correction. While some deeper defects may remain, this service provides the highest level of paint enhancement available without more aggressive methods.
Ideal for enthusiasts, show vehicles, darker paint colors, and owners who want the best possible finish from their vehicle's original paint.

Add Ceramic Coating Protection

Protect the Finish After Polishing

Once your vehicle has been polished, you have the option to upgrade from our standard paint protection to a professional ceramic coating.

Ceramic coating creates a durable protective layer over the freshly polished paint, helping protect against environmental contamination while making the vehicle easier to wash and maintain.

It also enhances gloss, slickness, and water behavior, helping preserve that freshly polished appearance for much longer than a traditional wax or sealant.

Ceramic Coating Add-On

Approx. 3-Year Protection

  • Small Cars: $300

  • Mid-Size Cars, SUVs & Trucks: $375

  • Large SUVs & Trucks: $450

Ceramic coating pricing is an add-on to a 1-Step Polish or 2-Step Paint Correction.

Why Add Ceramic After Polishing?

Polishing and ceramic coating do two different jobs.

Polishing improves the paint.
It removes or reduces swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, haze, and other imperfections while restoring gloss and clarity.

Ceramic coating protects that improvement.
Once the paint looks its best, the coating helps keep it protected and makes routine washing and maintenance easier.

Ceramic coating can provide:

  • Long-lasting paint protection

  • Excellent water beading

  • Easier washing and drying

  • Less dirt and grime sticking to the surface

  • Added gloss and slickness

  • Better resistance to environmental contamination

You Don't Need Perfect Paint to Benefit From Ceramic

A ceramic coating doesn't have to be reserved for brand-new cars or expensive show vehicles.

For many daily drivers, the goal isn't to remove every single scratch or chase a flawless finish. The goal is to make the vehicle look dramatically better and then protect it.

That's why our 1-Step Polish + Ceramic Coating is a great combination for many vehicles.

We improve the gloss and clarity of the paint, safely reduce many of the visible imperfections, and then protect the improved finish with a long-lasting ceramic coating.

Popular Combination

1-Step Polish + Approx. 3-Year Ceramic Coating

Small Cars — Starting at $450

Mid-Size Vehicles — Starting at $545

Large SUVs & Trucks — Starting at $640

“Every Vehicle Is Different

Modern vehicle paint systems vary significantly between manufacturers, model years, and even individual vehicles. Clear coat thickness, paint hardness, previous repairs, environmental exposure, and maintenance history all affect the final results that can be achieved through polishing and paint correction.

While our goal is always to deliver the maximum safe improvement possible, not every scratch, swirl mark, water spot, or paint defect can be completely removed. Some defects extend too deeply into the clear coat and attempting to remove them entirely could compromise the long-term health of the paint.

At Nathen's Mobile Detailing, we prioritize preserving your vehicle's finish while achieving the best possible improvement. Every vehicle is evaluated individually, and we will always choose the safest approach for your paint rather than chasing perfection at the expense of clear coat longevity.

Our promise is simple: we will give your vehicle our best effort, use professional techniques and products, and treat your paint as if it were our own.
