Toronto Buffing Inc. is proudly the leading paint correction service in the Greater Toronto Area. From winning Porsche Centre Concours competitions, Cobble Beach Concours D’Elegance, to our work being featured in Speedhunter's magazine, we have developed a reputation for automotive recondition above the industry standard. We are the educators, and mentors to several thriving automotive recondition companies in the GTA, via our (now discontinued) advanced paint correction training course. If you are in search of something more than a simple polish, Toronto Buffing is for you.
Our paint protection film installers at Toronto Buffing are industry veterans, working with PPF since it’s introduction to the market. They are held to the highest standards. Where the vast majority of shops opt to short change the client and use off shore no name PPF, we strictly use proven big brand films (Suntek, Xpel, Hexis). This is extremely important, because though offshore ppf saves both the client, and shop a marginal amount of money, they are products that have a significantly shorter lifespan. A majority of our most recent work is in fact rework; removing low level film installed at other facilities and replacing it with a product that last the full 10 year warranty period.
Equally important, we take the time to repair and recondition paint prior to protecting it. Installing PPF is one thing, making the paint worthy of protection is a much higher priority.
Our team of technicians are passionate about their craft, and have thorough experience, and professional training in automotive paint correction at both the dealership and auto body level. What this means for you as the client is you get receive a well rounded, balanced service. We can address advanced defects such as paint chips, and orange peel, not only light swirl marks and scratches. Most alternative service providers can only offer either or. We at Toronto Buffing Inc. can offer both.
We at Toronto Buffing Inc. are trained to genuinely remove defects,We are extremely particular with what polishings, and compounds we use, in order to ensure they are unadulterated, and free of fillers. We have the correct lighting to assess defects, and the high skillset to remove them. We have top of the line tools and equipment on hand, to ensure every square inch of your vehicle is treated. Each vehicle goes stringent quality control at our facility to ensure we deliver above client expectations. Final results are often "restripped" with a custom chemical solution to ensure permanent results, before releasing back to the client. With most paint correction and ceramic coating applications, we offer a 2 week complimentary follow up wash. This is done to ensure the coating has properly bonded, and all of our clients needs are met.
Certain damage may not be repairable via buffing, polishing, wetsanding or touch up. If we are unable to repair damage with our less aggressive methods, we can have the damage repaired with a quality, colormatch repaint of the panel(s). We have adapted to our clients needs, and will always make an effort to offer supplement services.
All technicians have extensive training, and experience in automotive paint restoration.
We are insured for your peace of mind. We strive to deliver a service that is high quality, and uncompromised.
We would rather decline a job, than provide a substandard service that wouldn't benefit you in the long run. You will not find limited services such as 1-stage polishes, 1 or 2 year coatings, or partial ppf installations offered here. For reasons outlined on our main page, such services are a waste of money for our client, offering limited results and little protection. When you visit your physician, they diagnoses and treat your ailments. You unilaterally trust their opinion, and expertise. This curtsey should be passed on to all professionals you choose to work with. It is our job as the professionals to identify the issues, and create the appropriate solution which is most beneficial in the long term. The previously mentioned "limited services", are designed to keep you returning on a regular basis, and more often than not, cost you more money and time in the long run.
Our positioning is very clear: when you choose Toronto Buffing, you are paying for the job done right. You are paying for the job to be done to its full potential. You are paying for our experience, and expertise in the field of automotive paint restoration and protection. You are using a company that will go the distance to bring out the true full potential in your vehicle, and use creative and effective solutions to get you those results.
In terms of Ceramic Coatings, you will notice here at Toronto Buffing we do not offer lower level coatings. We have experience working with every noteworthy coating on the market. The products we select to use in our studio are ones that we have observed to be durable, and long lasting. Where other facilities may choose a coating line that benefits there bottom end, we pay little attention to the cost and more to the products performance itself. Ceramic Pro is our go to product for coatings. It is notably the most costly material to purchase, but at the same token, it is the most durable line on the market (when installed correctly).

Understanding The Paint Correction and Detailing Industry
In this industry, detailing shops are a dime a dozen. Unfortunately, the business is riddled with people with little to no experience "learning" on your vehicle. This can be confirmed with a simple job search of detailing shops looking to hire employees for paint correction with little to no experience, yet offer “professional paint correction services”. You hypothetically, take your vehicle to these facilities, and they go behind closed doors in which you have no true idea what process is being taken on your car, or who is working on your vehicle.
At Toronto Buffing Inc. no secrets with regards to whom is working on your vehicle, products being used, or level of repair. It is our standard procedure to complete the paint correction process on one single panel, to show the client clear results. After the paint correction process is complete, we show the customer the vehicle with the bare, unwaxed, “naked” paint surface. After this process, we proceed to enhance and protect the paint with various ceramic coatings, glazes, sealants, synthetic or natural waxes. We at Toronto Buffing Inc. carry most high end ceramic coatings,and therefore are able to offer the best solution to the customer, free from bias.
In the world of detailing, there are many claiming professional “certified” services. Our technicians however have been certified at the auto body level , as well as the detailing facility level of every level of paint correction. We are a Ceramic Pro certified business. Our diverse portfolio of clientele ranges from multi-million-dollar conglomerates, to the average Torontonian simply looking for the best refinishing money can buy.
Our reputation means everything.
Along our years in business, we have come in partnership with complementary businesses. We at Toronto Buffing Inc. specialize directly in paint correction. We have partnership in major body shops, and interior detailing shops that hold themselves to the same level of integrity as our company. If you are looking for body shop level repairs , or interior cleaning services, we do not provide these services, but can send you to those who specialize in it.
A question we often get asked is "XYZ Company is offering the same Ceramic Pro Package for much less, what is the difference between your services?"
This is an important question to ask. And we have long figured out how others are able to charge much less for a "paint correction" and "ceramic coating", and the truth isn't a pleasant one. You are not getting a professional job.
After being in the industry for 15 years as of 2023, and thousands of corrections completed, we know the average paint correction and ceramic coating on a used german vehicle takes approximately 20 hours to complete. ~1 hour for the hand wash and decontamination, ~1 hour for masking and prep, ~12 hours for cutting stages, and ~6 hours for finishing stages. In order to complete a correction in this time, you must be competent, and skilled. The average skilled paint correction worker makes between $20-$30 an hour. Even at the lower tier, the cost for labor is $400. This is before any material cost, rent, or utilities are factored in. The total cost to the company can easily exceed $1000.
The hard truth for the "cheap" deals advertised online, corners have to be cut somewhere. Some of these include:
-The proper amount of time is not being spent, resulting in swirls and defects left behind
-Unskilled labor is being utilized due to razor thin margins
-Low quality polishes, pads, and microfiber are being used, resulting in a substandard finish
-A cheap, low quality ceramic coating is being used
The end result is one that, by professional standards, is subpar. With such services, customer service is sure to take a hit as well. The unfortunate truth is that some will be satisfied with such a job, not because it is a good one, but because they have no benchmark for the job done right.
