From Corroded to Mirror Finish. ✨

This 2018 Ram 3500 came to us with factory polished aluminum wheels that had seen better days. Years of exposure had left them covered in heavy oxidation, corrosion, and staining that regular polishing simply couldn't remove. Instead of hiding the damage, we went to work the right way.

We completely stripped the old finish, removed the corrosion and oxidation, and meticulously polished each wheel through multiple stages to restore the shine the way polished aluminum is meant to look.

The transformation speaks for itself—bringing these wheels back from dull and neglected to a deep, mirror-like finish.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to aluminum restoration. It takes time, patience, and attention to detail, but the results are well worth it.

If your polished aluminum wheels, tanks, bumpers, or trim have lost their shine, let us bring them back to life.

Happy Independance Day everyone!!

Some vehicles don't need to be made perfect—they need to be preserved.

This 1976 Trans Am Survivor came to DT's Paint & Detail with one goal: save the paint without sacrificing its history.

Its single-stage paint had been buffed countless times over the last 50 years, leaving it extremely delicate. Years of polishing had thinned the finish, and hard water staining had become deeply embedded in the paint. This wasn't a job for aggressive correction—it required patience, experience, and restraint.

Our mission was simple: remove the stubborn staining while preserving as much of the original finish as possible without causing any further harm.

Every pass was carefully measured, every decision made with the long-term preservation of this iconic Trans Am in mind. There are times when knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing how to polish.

The transformation speaks for itself. The clean black paint once again reflects with depth and clarity, the legendary gold bird shines proudly, and this survivor is ready to continue telling its story for years to come.

Not every detail is about chasing perfection. Sometimes it's about respecting history and bringing it back to life the right way. Outshine The Rest, With the Best!

These fresh ESR CS15.2s white wheels deserved long-term protection. 🛡

Before these wheels were mounted on this 2022 Subaru WRX, we professionally ceramic coated every inch.

What are the benefits?

A quality ceramic coating helps repel brake dust, road grime, and contaminants while making routine cleaning faster and easier. It also helps keep that bright white finish looking its best for miles to come.

It's the little details that make a big difference, and protecting your investment starts before the wheels ever hit the road.

Thinking about ceramic coating your wheels, paint, or entire vehicle? Give DT's Paint & Detail a call and see why so many customers trust us to Outshine the Rest, With The Best!
