BEST IN SHOW
Mob Inc Car Show
Best in Show means the single best car at the entire event - not just a category. This is the standard we hold our paint correction work to on every single vehicle.
What this means for your car: Show car judges inspect paint under high-CRI lighting at close range looking for holograms, buffer trails, low spots, and finish inconsistencies that most people never notice. Our paint correction passes that test - on cars where the owner's reputation is on the line. That's the same standard we apply to every vehicle we take in, whether it's going on a show floor or into a garage.

YOUR CAR NEVER LEAVES
YOUR PROPERTY.

Every trip to a detail shop is a trip through traffic, parking lots, and unfamiliar driveways - usually by a tech who doesn't own a 6-figure car. We eliminate that risk by bringing the entire studio to your driveway, garage, or office parking lot.

YOUR PAINT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED SINCE DAY ONE

Factory paint is softer than most owners realize. By the time a vehicle has its first service appointment, the clear coat has already been damaged. Here's what we see on nearly every vehicle we inspect.

πŸŒ€
Swirl Marks & Buffer Trails
Most vehicles that arrive here have been "detailed" before - and it shows. Incorrect machine work and automated car washes leave behind circular scratches that scatter light and kill depth on dark paint.
πŸ’§
Water Spots & Mineral Etching
Sprinkler water and acidic rain dry into the clear coat under direct sunlight. On soft European or Japanese factory paint, these can etch permanently within days if not addressed properly.
🌫️
Oxidation, Haze & Orange Peel
UV degradation dulls even the best factory clears over time. And that textured dimpling from the factory? That's orange peel - it's not permanent. Color sanding removes it entirely.

THREE LEVELS OF CORRECTION.
ALL DONE RIGHT.

Every service is performed by SystemX Certified Installer technicians using Rupes LHR polishers and Menzerna compound systems. Paint thickness is logged on every panel before we begin. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS,
STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What do you need from me at my location?
Almost nothing. We bring our own water, power generator, lighting, and equipment. Ideally we have access to a flat surface (driveway, garage, or office parking lot) and roughly a 2-car-width of space around your vehicle. Shade or a garage is preferred but not required - we work in any weather.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Birmingham and surrounding communities within a 30-mile radius - including Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Homewood, Trussville, Cahaba Heights, Liberty Park, Pelham, Helena, and more. Travel is included on all service packages at no extra charge.
What vehicles do you work on?
All vehicles, but we specialize in European performance cars, exotics, collector vehicles, and any owner who genuinely cares about their paint. We're comfortable with BMW M-series, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and any vehicle with soft or complex factory paint that demands extra care.
How long does paint correction take on-site?
A one-stage enhancement typically runs 6–8 hours. Two-stage correction is a full day - 10–14 hours depending on panel count and paint condition. Color sanding is a 2-day process minimum. We never rush panels. If your project runs into a second day, we'll cover and protect the vehicle overnight.
Will it remove all the scratches?
Paint correction removes defects contained within the clear coat. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it has broken through into the base coat - that's a touch-up or respray scenario, not polishing. During your free 18-point inspection we assess every panel and give you an honest, panel-by-panel prognosis before any work begins.
How much clear coat does polishing remove?
A properly performed two-stage correction removes approximately 1–3 microns of clear coat per pass. Factory clear coats are typically 80–120 microns thick. We document your paint depth before and after every job - you'll have an exact record. A vehicle with healthy clear coat can safely undergo correction 4–6 times over its life when performed correctly.
Why does mobile luxury correction cost more than a typical detail shop?
Time, equipment, and accountability. Our technicians spend 10–14 hours on a two-stage correction working panel by panel under studio lighting - not 3 hours with a random orbital. We use professional-grade compounds (Menzerna, Koch Chemie), Rupes polishers, document paint thickness on every panel, and you watch us work the entire time. You're paying for a result that holds up to a paint gauge and a critical eye - without ever handing your keys to a stranger.

QUESTIONS?
STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What do you need from me?
Almost nothing. We bring our own water, power, lighting, and equipment. We just need a flat spot to work (driveway, garage, or office parking lot) with about two car-widths of space around your vehicle. Shade or a garage is nice but not required - we work in any weather.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Birmingham and the surrounding communities within 30 miles - including Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Homewood, Trussville, Cahaba Heights, Liberty Park, Pelham, Helena, and more. Travel is always included at no extra charge.
What vehicles do you work on?
All vehicles, but we especially love working on luxury, performance, exotic, and collector cars - and any owner who really cares about their paint. We regularly work on BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and any car that deserves extra care.
How long does it take?
A one-stage polish usually takes 6-8 hours. A two-stage correction is a full day, around 10-14 hours depending on your car's size and condition. Color sanding takes at least two days. We never rush. If the job runs into a second day, we cover and protect your car overnight.
Will it remove ALL the scratches?
We can remove most surface scratches and swirls. But if a scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail, it has gone too deep to polish out and would need touch-up paint instead. During your $50 paint inspection we check every panel and give you an honest answer before any work begins - so there are no surprises.
Is polishing safe for my paint?
Yes, when it is done right. We measure your paint before and after every job and keep a record, so we never remove more than is safe. A healthy car can be polished several times over its lifetime without any issues. This careful, measured approach is exactly why we measure every panel.
Why does this cost more than a regular detail shop?
Time, quality, and peace of mind. We spend 10-14 hours on a full correction, working carefully panel by panel - not a rushed 3-hour job. We use top professional products and equipment, measure your paint on every panel, and you can watch us work the whole time. You're paying for a result that truly lasts, without ever handing your keys to a stranger or leaving your car at a shop.

Most vehicles that arrive here have been "detailed" before - and it shows. Incorrect machine work and automated car washes leave behind circular scratches that scatter light and kill depth on dark paint.
πŸ’§
Water Spots & Mineral Etching
Sprinkler water and acidic rain dry into the clear coat under direct sunlight. On soft European or Japanese factory paint, these can etch permanently within days if not addressed properly.
🌫️
Oxidation, Haze & Orange Peel
UV degradation dulls even the best factory clears over time. And that textured dimpling from the factory? That's orange peel - it's not permanent. Color sanding removes it entirely.

THREE LEVELS OF CORRECTION.
ALL DONE RIGHT.

Every service is performed by SystemX Certified Installer technicians using Rupes LHR polishers and Menzerna compound systems. Paint thickness is logged on every panel before we begin. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

AFTER SEEING THEIR CAR

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

"I've had my 911 detailed at four different shops over six years. This is the first time I've been genuinely speechless. The two-stage correction removed swirling I assumed was permanent. The depth in the paint now is extraordinary."

"The factory orange peel on my C8 bothered me from day one. Color sanding + three-stage refinement took two full days. The result is something I didn't know a car could look like. Other detailers told me it couldn't be done this well."

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS,
STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What do you need from me at my location?
Almost nothing. We bring our own water, power generator, lighting, and equipment. Ideally we have access to a flat surface (driveway, garage, or office parking lot) and roughly a 2-car-width of space around your vehicle. Shade or a garage is preferred but not required - we work in any weather.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Birmingham and surrounding communities within a 30-mile radius - including Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Homewood, Trussville, Cahaba Heights, Liberty Park, Pelham, Helena, and more. Travel is included on all service packages at no extra charge.
What vehicles do you work on?
All vehicles, but we specialize in European performance cars, exotics, collector vehicles, and any owner who genuinely cares about their paint. We're comfortable with BMW M-series, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and any vehicle with soft or complex factory paint that demands extra care.
How long does paint correction take on-site?
A one-stage enhancement typically runs 6–8 hours. Two-stage correction is a full day - 10–14 hours depending on panel count and paint condition. Color sanding is a 2-day process minimum. We never rush panels. If your project runs into a second day, we'll cover and protect the vehicle overnight.
Will it remove all the scratches?
Paint correction removes defects contained within the clear coat. If a scratch catches your fingernail, it has broken through into the base coat - that's a touch-up or respray scenario, not polishing. During your free 18-point inspection we assess every panel and give you an honest, panel-by-panel prognosis before any work begins.
How much clear coat does polishing remove?
A properly performed two-stage correction removes approximately 1–3 microns of clear coat per pass. Factory clear coats are typically 80–120 microns thick. We document your paint depth before and after every job - you'll have an exact record. A vehicle with healthy clear coat can safely undergo correction 4–6 times over its life when performed correctly.
Why does mobile luxury correction cost more than a typical detail shop?
Time, equipment, and accountability. Our technicians spend 10–14 hours on a two-stage correction working panel by panel under studio lighting - not 3 hours with a random orbital. We use professional-grade compounds (Menzerna, Koch Chemie), Rupes polishers, document paint thickness on every panel, and you watch us work the entire time. You're paying for a result that holds up to a paint gauge and a critical eye - without ever handing your keys to a stranger.
