Wet Sanding & Paint Restoration
Advanced restoration for heavily oxidized, faded or textured paint using controlled wet sanding and multi stage polishing.
Wet Sanding & Paint Restoration in Cornwall, Ontario
Wet sanding is the most aggressive thing that can be done to a factory finish. Done correctly it saves paint that looked finished; done carelessly it means a respray.
When sanding is the right call
Fine abrasive paper levels defects that polishing alone cannot reach, such as deeper scratches, heavy oxidation or orange peel.
The surface is then compounded and refined back to gloss over several stages.
Paint that may need sanding
- The clear coat is heavily oxidised, chalky or badly water spotted.
- Scratches remain clearly visible after a full correction.
- Texture or overspray from previous bodywork stands out against the rest of the panel.
How we keep it safe
- Paint thickness measured at multiple points on every panel considered.
- A small test area sanded and refinished first so you can see the outcome.
- Wet sanding through progressively finer grits, keeping the surface flooded.
- Multi-stage compounding and polishing, then protection applied.
Pricing in Cornwall
Cornwall pricing depends entirely on how many panels are involved and how much damage is present, since this is slow, panel-by-panel work.
A local team that will say no
If your paint is too thin to sand safely, we will tell you and recommend the alternative instead. We are local, we take responsibility for our work face to face, and we do not walk away until the panels look right.

Common questions
Why do you need photos first?
Wet sanding removes clear coat. Photos help us judge whether the finish is a candidate before you commit to an appointment.
Can clear coat failure be fixed?
No. Peeling or flaking clear coat requires repainting. Sanding will not repair it and we will say so up front.
How long does it take?
This service is quoted individually and often takes one to two days.
