RESTORE
THE GLOSS.
PROTECT IT.
Swirls, haze and oxidation can hide the true finish of your vehicle. Kraken Harbor restores clarity and gloss through professional paint correction, then protects that finish with durable ceramic coating.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO YOUR PAINT?
Your vehicle can be perfectly clean and still look dull, hazy or scratched. That's because washing removes dirt — but it doesn't correct defects in the paint itself.
SWIRL MARKS
Those fine circular scratches you notice in direct sunlight are often caused by improper washing and drying over time.
LIGHT SCRATCHES
Everyday contact can leave visible imperfections that interrupt the reflection and make otherwise good paint look worn.
HAZE & OXIDATION
Sun exposure and environmental wear can leave paint looking cloudy, faded and noticeably less vibrant.
WATER SPOTS
Mineral deposits can leave stubborn spotting behind and, when allowed to remain, may etch into the finish.
CLEANING ISN'T
CORRECTING.
A normal detail cleans and protects your vehicle. Paint correction goes further. Using machine polishing and carefully selected combinations of pads and compounds, we work to reduce visible defects and restore clarity, depth and gloss to the finish.
PAINT CORRECTION
VS. CERAMIC COATING
They work together, but they do two very different jobs. Correction improves the condition of the paint. Ceramic coating helps protect the finish after the correction is complete.
PAINT CORRECTION
Paint correction uses machine polishing to reduce visible imperfections and restore clarity, depth and gloss to the finish.
- Reduce swirl marks
- Improve light scratches
- Remove haze and oxidation
- Improve clarity and reflection
- Prepare the paint for protection
CERAMIC COATING
Ceramic coating bonds to the properly prepared paint and adds durable protection, strong water behavior and easier maintenance.
- Longer-lasting paint protection
- Enhanced gloss and slickness
- Hydrophobic water behavior
- Easier washing and maintenance
- Protection from environmental contamination
CORRECT → PROTECT
Ceramic coating does not remove scratches or swirl marks. For the best finish, we first improve the paint through correction, then lock in that result with the appropriate protection.
RESTORE IT.
THEN PROTECT IT.
Every vehicle is different. We'll evaluate your paint and help you choose the level of correction and protection that makes sense for your vehicle, goals and budget.
