CLASSIC CAR RESTORATION IN RHODE ISLAND
Preserving History With Precision, Care & True Craftsmanship
Classic and vintage vehicles require a level of attention and respect that goes far beyond standard detailing. At Pristine Auto Clean, we specialize in exterior restoration services designed to revive aged paint, restore clarity, and protect your vehicle’s finish — all while honoring its originality.
From single-stage paint rejuvenation to multi-step correction and polishing, every classic car we work on is treated like a piece of automotive history. We take our time, use safe restoration methods, and ensure every decision prioritizes your vehicle’s long-term health.
Why Classic Cars Need Specialized Care
Older paint systems — especially lacquer, enamel, and single-stage finishes — react differently than modern clear coats. They require:
-
Gentle, controlled correction techniques
-
Proper lighting to evaluate true paint condition
-
Specialized polishes and pads
-
Safe cleaning methods to avoid harming fragile trim and chrome
-
Patience and craftsmanship
This is not a rushed process. Classic car restoration requires a steady hand, an experienced eye, and deep knowledge of paint behavior across eras.
Our Classic Car Restoration Services
Paint Revival & Clarity Enhancement
Oxidation, fading, hazing, and dullness are carefully reduced to restore richness and depth.
Multi-Stage Paint Correction
Swirls, holograms, micro-marring, and aged defects are removed using slow, controlled polishing techniques tailored to older paint.
Single-Stage Paint Restoration
Vintage single-stage paints respond beautifully to proper rejuvenation — we safely revive color, gloss, and smoothness without compromising the finish.
Metal, Chrome & Trim Polishing
Chrome bumpers, metal accents, stainless trim, and delicate exterior pieces are carefully cleaned and polished to their original shine.
Clay Bar Decontamination
Safely removes years of embedded contaminants while preserving thin or delicate finishes.
Custom Recommendations
Every classic car is different. We evaluate paint thickness, previous repairs, and surface condition to build a tailored restoration plan.
Protective Sealants & Coatings
Premium sealants or ceramic coatings (where appropriate) protect your restored finish from deterioration and environmental impact.
