Permanent, Practical Paint Restoration.
RestorFX completely addresses surface damage to permanently restore a vehicle's exterior without repainting. It maintains the integrity of an automobile by not cutting away vital clear coat and eliminates the need to repaint a car.
This solution saves you time and money by pushing the reset button on your vehicle's paint finish, bringing it back to new again.
Formulated and tested over a 15-year period to work together consistently across various climates and extreme weather conditions, RestorFX is extensively used to process thousands of vehicles monthly at hundreds of RestorFX Centers in over 45 countries. This rich collection of history, rigorous laboratory methodology and vast real-world active coverage is globally proven and unmatched to make sure your vehicle gets the best surface it can.
From our labs to your car, there really is nothing like RestorFX—and it only keeps getting better from here.
For many decades there has been little progress and technological advancement in restoring or repairing damaged vehicle paint. To date there are two general categories—detailing options to maintain a vehicle, or body shop options to repair and repaint a vehicle after an accident. So how does RestorFX fit into all this?
The detailing industry's primary focus is to maintain a vehicle's cleanliness and appearance inside and out—something quite time consuming but necessary to keep a vehicle clean and presentable. With less and less durable new manufacturer paint finishes coming out over the years—from the older tried-and-true single-stage to today's 2-part paints—the need for scratch repair and restoration keeps on increasing. To remedy this degradation of paint quality, the detailing industry gradually developed a variety of paint correction methods that cut away clear coat to try and achieve a fresh and shiny surface. However, this "fix" poses a major problem, because it shaves off extremely vital clear coat that is supposed to be there to protect the very surface being repaired. Although this technique is useful for minor damage, it can only be done so many times before there will be nothing left of the paint finish. For any more major damage than light swirl marks and hairline scratches, this approach will not only take hours and even days to cut away, but it is quite limited to actually repair and restore the surface. Detailing will always be vital way to maintain a vehicle's everyday needs for cleanliness, but it is not an efficient way to restore or fix clear coat damage.
In contrast, the body shop industry's primary focus is to repair major damage on any part of the exterior of a vehicle—whether it be an accident, rust or integrity issues. However, to use repainting as a way to restore or fix clear coat damage is extremely time-consuming and costly; and anytime a vehicle is repainted no matter what the issue, its integrity is lost.
RestorFX gives a whole new option to restore, fix and push the reset button on a vehicle's paint—with a turnaround time like a detail shop but able to permanently fix more damage like a body shop.
All three options have their place in the market—RestorFX may not be suitable for all situations, but its emerging new technology provides a whole new ability to solve problems in the marketplace.
RestorFX by nature is a restoration service. When the word "protection" is used, what often comes to mind is some sort of topical or sacrificial layer applied on top of a vehicle paint to help protect and armor it—whether it be a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating. In this case then, no! RestorFX is not at all a protection product.
To better answer this question though, the layers that make up a paint finish on vehicles these days will need to be understood first. It all starts with metal, and primer gets sprayed over the metal and is technically used to both prepare the metal for paint AND protect the metal. Then paint gets sprayed over primer to add color, and then clear coat gets sprayed over the paint to protect the paint. All aspects of a paint finish are protecting the layer underneath itself.
RestorFX adds at least 9 microns of vital surface material to restore and technically PROTECT the paint finish below, restoring and upgrading a vehicle's finish to a new, harder and more UV-resistant surface. Although still using the original paint finish as its final substrate, RestorFX does in fact add more depth, and RestorFX becomes a protective layer and armor over the vehicle's paint together with the rest of the paint finish. So YES, in this case, RestorFX also protects.
RestorFX's fluxcoat technology is a permanent restoration treatment. Once RestorFX cures it will bond and become one with the original paint finish; and any existing damage that was repaired during the treatment process is permanently repaired, guaranteed.
RestorFX, once cured, will be extremely durable and oftentimes more durable and resistant then even the best manufacturer paint finishes. However, just like all new paint finishes, RestorFX is also subject to new wear and tear as it gets used over time.
RestorFX gives vehicles new life, like pushing the reset button on your paint finish and bringing it back to new again.
After each delivery, an aftercare sheet is provided to lay out the best practices for maintaining a pristine finish for as long as possible. Following these recommendations will ultimately be the best way to get the most longevity out of a brand new RestorFX treatment.
My only regret is not taking my car in to Restore FX right off the lot the day I bought it. Nearly 4 years after getting my car ceramic coated by them it still absolutely looks mint. I used to cringe washing my car for fear of swirl marks on dark paint and now it’s a pleasure to wash. Most dirt just falls off with water and bugs are easily removed. I recently scratched my fender moving a bicycle in the garage and the guys were able to make it disappear without paint work and they went the extra mile to give the coating a refresh while it was in. I can’t recommend the coating enough for anyone considering buying a new vehicle or looking to restore an older paint job. Great guys to deal with!
Todd ClarkeDave and his team at RestorFX are definitely the best place to revitalize your paint. We took our car in for paint correction and ceramic coating and it turned out AMAZING! Dave's reputation and skill level is bar none!! Thank you team for your amazing work in making our paint glow!!
Jon WellsI have a 2017 Cadillac ATS that was starting to show its age with some scratches, small chips and effects of several years of running through a regular car wash. Everyone there was super helpful explaining my options, what to expect, timeframe and by the time I got my car back, they exceeded my expectations on all accounts. The paint looks fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone wanting their paint looking better than new.
Brent “CDN BCN PROUD” RodgersWe took our 2002 Lexus 430 to RestorFX Chatham and they did a fantastic job. The head lights had fogged over due to age but they came out with a sparkle. I had a difficult time putting on the car cover as it continually slide off the car. I would highly recommend these guys
Bob HockneyWe brought our newly purchased 2019 GMC Terrain here as there were a couple of noticable scratches on both sides as well as numerous scratches on the top of the rear bumper and then of course in the finger wells of the door handles and WOW.....they are all gone ! And the paint in general....well it looks like new ! You could hardly tell it was a metallic grey before the Restorfx process was done but now it's just sparkling ! Money well spent ! The owner, Dave, was very accommodating being we came down from Sarnia and his staff that were there when we picked it up were great....a very friendly bunch of guys...all of them ! I highly recommend this business and the Restorfx process !
