When it comes to paint correction, not every car makes it out alive… but this one? It survived the apocalypse.
Okay, not literally — but judging by the swirls and scratches left behind from years of automatic car washes, it may as well have battled clickers and fungus too. Inspired by the return of HBO’s The Last of Us, this transformation felt like a mission straight out of the series: rescue, restore, and revive.
🎮 The Threat: Swirl Marks from Automatic Car Washes
Automated brushes might save you time, but they absolutely destroy your paint over time. They leave behind a trail of micro-scratches and dullness — the automotive equivalent of a viral infection.
Our client’s car had clearly been through it. Dull panels. Circular scars. A tired, lifeless finish.
🧪 The Cure: Professional Paint Correction
We went in with precision — polishing out the damage layer by layer using our pro-grade equipment and trained technique. The result? A flawless mirror finish with depth, clarity, and that showroom shine.
It’s not just detailing — it’s a revival.
⚙️ The Process
Paint decontamination
Multi-stage machine polishing
Swirl and haze removal
Optional ceramic coating to protect the finish from future "infections"
📸 The Transformation
Before: A swirl-infected surface that looked like it hadn’t seen love in years.After: A slick, deep-gloss finish — like new.
We documented the entire process in a dramatic YouTube Short inspired by the show — titled "The Last of Swirls."
