Four bays
on Vernon.

Started in 2017 in a single rented bay with one polisher and a borrowed pressure washer. Same block, four bays, better lighting.

Who we are

Nobody here
does this
on weekends.

Tony Delgado spent eleven years in body shops before opening Redline, which is where the paint-depth obsession comes from - he's seen what happens when someone polishes through clear coat on a panel that had already been repainted once.

There are four of us. All full-time, all trained on the coatings we install, all certified by the manufacturers whose warranties we're writing. That last part matters: a warranty from an uncertified installer isn't worth the paper.

The process

What actually
happens.

For a correction booking. You'll get photos at each stage whether you ask or not.

Intake & inspection

The car goes under 6000K inspection lighting and we photograph every defect. Paint depth readings across all panels, written down, so we know what we're working with before anything touches the paint.

Decontamination

Two-bucket wash, iron fallout dissolver, tar removal, and a clay bar over every panel. Skipping this step is why cheap details leave scratches - you cannot polish contaminated paint.

Test panel

We correct a single panel first and measure again. That tells us the right pad and compound combination for your specific paint, which varies more between manufacturers than most people expect.

Correction

Machine polishing, panel by panel, checking under lights as we go. Eight to fourteen hours depending on the car and how bad it started.

Panel wipe & coating

All polishing oils stripped so the coating bonds to bare clear coat. Applied by hand, levelled, then IR cured indoors overnight.

Final inspection, with you

We walk the car with you under the same lights and show the before and after readings. If something isn't right, we fix it before you leave.

The shop

Equipment.

Lighting

Six 6000K inspection lights on stands plus wall-mounted flood. You cannot correct what you cannot see, and daylight through a roller door isn't enough.

Filtered water

Deionised final rinse so nothing dries with mineral spotting. Cheap to install, and it removes an entire category of problem.

Climate control

Heated and dehumidified bays. Coatings cure to spec year-round rather than however January feels about it.
