Savannah's historic vehicles require a different approach—we never use abrasive compounds on single-stage paints from the 60s-70s that are common in local collections. Instead, our museum-trained technicians employ a 3-phase glaze system that revives oxidized finishes without removing precious patina.
Special attention goes to chrome bumpers and trim that suffer near the coast. We use a proprietary blend of carnuba wax and corrosion inhibitors developed for River Street's ironwork. For convertibles stored in downtown's historic garages, we perform a 'Savannah seal' treatment on weatherstripping to prevent musty odors from our humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you detail my barn-find Corvette?
Absolutely—we've revived multiple finds from rural Chatham County properties. First we stabilize the surface with gentle cleaners, never pressure washing fragile finishes.
Do you work on brass-era vehicles?
Yes, with special non-conductive treatments for early electrical systems. We coordinate with the Savannah Vintage Motorcar Club for their annual tour prep.
