Honest assessment
If your paint is too thin for correction, we will say so and recommend protection only. We would rather lose the upsell than your clear coat.
GlossForge is a two-bay detailing studio in Zagreb run by Luka and Petra. We finish around 150 vehicles a year, which is far fewer than a volume shop — and exactly the point.
Proper correction cannot be rushed. A dark German saloon with eight years of automatic car-wash marks needs decontamination, taping, test sections, two or three polishing stages and a thorough panel wipe-down before a single drop of coating touches it. That is days of work, not hours.
By keeping the diary deliberately short we can give each vehicle a dedicated bay, document each stage, and still answer the phone ourselves. When you collect the car, one of the two people who worked on it walks you around it under inspection lights.

The price agreed after inspection is the price on the invoice. Any additional work is discussed and approved before we carry on.
Every coating is registered with the manufacturer in your name and backed by our own maintenance inspection schedule.
Keys stored in a safe, vehicles kept indoors overnight, mileage logged on arrival and departure, and fully insured premises.
I brought a twelve-year-old Golf expecting a miracle and got something better: a realistic plan, a fair price and a car that looks after itself now.
The curing bay matters. My coating was applied on a humid July week and there is not a single high spot anywhere on the car.
Sold my coupe after three years with their coating on it. The buyer thought the paint had been resprayed. It had not.
Inspections are free and take about twenty minutes. Bring the car as it is — dirty paint tells us more than clean paint.
