Our process

Six steps. Same order, every car.

No shortcuts, no surprise upcharges, no “quick polish.” This is how we treat every vehicle that comes through Dover Street.

Intake & inspection

We walk the car together with a paint depth gauge and a 5,500K light tower. You leave with a written report and a fixed quote.

Pre-rinse, snow-foam, two-bucket wash, Iron-X for embedded fallout and a clay bar pass. No towels touch dirty paint.

1–3 stage machine polish with diminishing-abrasive compounds. We measure clear coat thickness before and after every panel.

Full IPA wipe-down to strip any oils so the coating bonds chemically to your clear coat, not to residue.

Hand application in a climate-controlled bay. Multiple layers, leveled with plush microfiber, cured under HID lamps.

Second light tower inspection. Photos for the warranty record. We hand you a maintenance kit and walk you through the first wash.
