Restoration Detailing
Bringing neglected and collector cars back to presentation standard
Overview
Collector and classic car detailing in Austin for long-stored vehicles, estate cars and pre-sale preparation. Restoration detailing is a staged, patient process that rebuilds a finish rather than covering it — chrome, glass, leather, engine bay and paint, brought back one system at a time.
What's included
- Full condition assessment with photo documentation
- Multi-stage paint recovery and oxidation reduction
- Chrome, stainless and bright-trim refinishing
- Leather cleaning, feeding and colour rejuvenation
- Engine bay and undercarriage detailing
- Pre-sale and show presentation preparation
Next step

Questions
Frequently asked
- Can original paint be saved?
- Often, yes. If there is measurable clear coat left we will always try to preserve originality rather than recommend refinishing.
- How long does a restoration detail take?
- Anywhere from two days to several weeks of scheduled sessions, depending on condition and the standard you are targeting.
