Swirl Mark Removal
Machine polishing to address swirl marks, light scratches, and dull, hazy paint on your vehicle's clear coat. Every correction session is tailored to the condition of your paint, inspected before and after work begins.

Prep for Protection
Paint correction is the recommended first step before paint protection film or ceramic coating. A corrected, clean surface gives protective films and coatings the best possible base to bond to.

We work by appointment only, Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM, so each vehicle gets focused attention. Palo Alto car owners book a time that works and drive a short distance to our Sunnyvale shop.

Levon did a full stealth ppf wrap for my R1S and it came out amazing. Edges are completely hidden. Super clean install. Highly recommended!

The tint shop at Lion Window Tinting is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. I recently had full front PPF installed on my Kia, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you for the excellent service.

XPEL paint protection film alongside paint correction
Lion Window Tinting is an XPEL dealer, and the paint protection film we install is XPEL paint protection film. For Palo Alto drivers who want their paint protected as well as corrected, paint correction can be paired with XPEL film so freshly refined paint is then covered by a film built for the road ahead.
-
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS
XPEL describes ULTIMATE PLUS paint protection film as designed to protect automotive paint from stone chips and abrasion. That is the product's purpose — a durable barrier applied over paint, not a promise that every chip can be prevented.
-
Correct, Then Protect
Once paint correction has refined the finish, applying XPEL paint protection film afterward helps that corrected paint stay covered against the stone chips and abrasion the film is designed to protect against.
-
Certified XPEL Dealer
As an authorized XPEL dealer, our appointment-only Sunnyvale shop installs XPEL films and coatings — so Palo Alto drivers get the same products backed by the manufacturer, installed by the team that handles them daily.
Washing your car in Palo Alto after paint correction
How you rinse your freshly corrected paint in Palo Alto is shaped by the City of Palo Alto's permanent water-use restrictions. Two rules matter most for drivers planning at-home or commercial washes after picking up a car from our Sunnyvale shop.
-
Contain Your Rinse Water
Palo Alto's water-use code prohibits potable water from flooding or running off into gutters, driveways, sidewalks, streets, or other unlandscaped areas, and the City states its permanent water-use restrictions remain in effect. If you wash at home, keep rinse water contained on the property — the concrete preparation step this supports is our waterless or closed-rinse maintenance wash option, which avoids runoff entirely.
-
Recycled-Water Car Washes
Palo Alto's water guidance requires commercial car washes to use recycled water systems where recycled water is available, and drivers can confirm current details with the City of Palo Alto. This is why pairing machine washes with XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS paint protection film — a film designed to take the brunt of washing abrasion — is a practical service choice for Palo Alto commuters who rely on commercial washes.
-
Plan Your First Wash
Together, these rules shape a simple plan: decide before your paint correction whether you'll wash at home with contained water or use a recycled-water commercial wash, and let us know at your appointment. We can recommend a maintenance approach and film or coating choice that fits how you'll actually care for the finish in Palo Alto.
