Restoration and Beyond
The RestorFX line of products don’t just stop at paint restoration, but also address the fullexterior of a vehicle. Get to know the entire family.
Permanent, Practical Paint Restoration.
RestorFX completely addresses surface damage to permanently restore a vehicle's exterior without repainting. It maintains the integrity of an automobile by not cutting away vital clear coat and eliminates the need to repaint a car.
This solution saves you time and money by pushing the reset button on your vehicle's paint finish, bringing it back to new again.
Formulated and tested over a 15-year period to work together consistently across various climates and extreme weather conditions, RestorFX is extensively used to process thousands of vehicles monthly at hundreds of RestorFX Centers in over 45 countries. This rich collection of history, rigorous laboratory methodology and vast real-world active coverage is globally proven and unmatched to make sure your vehicle gets the best surface it can.
From our labs to your car, there really is nothing like RestorFX—and it only keeps getting better from here.
For many decades there has been little progress and technological advancement in restoring or repairing damaged vehicle paint. To date there are two general categories—detailing options to maintain a vehicle, or body shop options to repair and repaint a vehicle after an accident. So how does RestorFX fit into all this?
The detailing industry's primary focus is to maintain a vehicle's cleanliness and appearance inside and out—something quite time consuming but necessary to keep a vehicle clean and presentable. With less and less durable new manufacturer paint finishes coming out over the years—from the older tried-and-true single-stage to today's 2-part paints—the need for scratch repair and restoration keeps on increasing. To remedy this degradation of paint quality, the detailing industry gradually developed a variety of paint correction methods that cut away clear coat to try and achieve a fresh and shiny surface. However, this "fix" poses a major problem, because it shaves off extremely vital clear coat that is supposed to be there to protect the very surface being repaired. Although this technique is useful for minor damage, it can only be done so many times before there will be nothing left of the paint finish. For any more major damage than light swirl marks and hairline scratches, this approach will not only take hours and even days to cut away, but it is quite limited to actually repair and restore the surface. Detailing will always be vital way to maintain a vehicle's everyday needs for cleanliness, but it is not an efficient way to restore or fix clear coat damage.
In contrast, the body shop industry's primary focus is to repair major damage on any part of the exterior of a vehicle—whether it be an accident, rust or integrity issues. However, to use repainting as a way to restore or fix clear coat damage is extremely time-consuming and costly; and anytime a vehicle is repainted no matter what the issue, its integrity is lost.
RestorFX gives a whole new option to restore, fix and push the reset button on a vehicle's paint—with a turnaround time like a detail shop but able to permanently fix more damage like a body shop.
All three options have their place in the market—RestorFX may not be suitable for all situations, but its emerging new technology provides a whole new ability to solve problems in the marketplace.
RestorFX by nature is a restoration service. When the word "protection" is used, what often comes to mind is some sort of topical or sacrificial layer applied on top of a vehicle paint to help protect and armor it—whether it be a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating. In this case then, no! RestorFX is not at all a protection product.
To better answer this question though, the layers that make up a paint finish on vehicles these days will need to be understood first. It all starts with metal, and primer gets sprayed over the metal and is technically used to both prepare the metal for paint AND protect the metal. Then paint gets sprayed over primer to add color, and then clear coat gets sprayed over the paint to protect the paint. All aspects of a paint finish are protecting the layer underneath itself.
RestorFX adds at least 9 microns of vital surface material to restore and technically PROTECT the paint finish below, restoring and upgrading a vehicle's finish to a new, harder and more UV-resistant surface. Although still using the original paint finish as its final substrate, RestorFX does in fact add more depth, and RestorFX becomes a protective layer and armor over the vehicle's paint together with the rest of the paint finish. So YES, in this case, RestorFX also protects.
RestorFX's fluxcoat technology is a permanent restoration treatment. Once RestorFX cures it will bond and become one with the original paint finish; and any existing damage that was repaired during the treatment process is permanently repaired, guaranteed.
RestorFX, once cured, will be extremely durable and oftentimes more durable and resistant then even the best manufacturer paint finishes. However, just like all new paint finishes, RestorFX is also subject to new wear and tear as it gets used over time.
RestorFX gives vehicles new life, like pushing the reset button on your paint finish and bringing it back to new again.
After each delivery, an aftercare sheet is provided to lay out the best practices for maintaining a pristine finish for as long as possible. Following these recommendations will ultimately be the best way to get the most longevity out of a brand new RestorFX treatment.
Ever since the first order we've made the staff has been phenomenal. They are all respectful, informative and professional. Great prices and atmosphere there.

MARS of Billings is the crown jewel of Montana. I love this place and the people in it. I got a tour of the facility after they had a corporate event the night before, so the shop space was empty for the festivities. Usually, though, this place is booming, and the parking lot is always packed. MARS is your go-to for all automotive accessories, window tint, paint protection film, ceramic coatings, detailing, and more. Devon and his team do incredible work and treat you like family. I want to give a special shoutout to Spencer for helping me pick the right package for my truck and giving me a thorough tour of their fantastic business. These are the best guys in town; give ‘em a call!

I brought in a vehicle we intended to sell for a full detail. Having kids, using this as a daily driver, two dogs, and being the middle of winter, this rig was pretty dirty. Getting the time to clean it up during the freezing months was not going to happen any time soon too. The job Mars did was worth EVERY. PENNY. When I received my Explorer back, it was pristine like it had come off the dealership showroom floor. The care they took into making sure ALL of my concerns were address was outstanding. I ended up ordering accessories for my new rig based on the experience without question. I'll recommend MARS every time!

After purchasing a new truck from Doug Quast at Denny Menholt Chevrolet, I was in the market for a clear bra to protect the front end and wanted the front side windows tinted to match the factory tint on the rear. Doug highly recommended Mars—a shop with years of experience, a solid reputation, and a commitment to quality and standing behind their work. I called and scheduled an appointment with Kaden and met him the next morning at 8:00 a.m. He took the time to walk around the truck with me, explain all of the available packages, and patiently answered my many questions. I ultimately chose a full front-end clear bra, including the headlights, plus heat-reflective tint on the front windows to help keep things cool in the summer. Kaden also suggested protective film behind the door handles, which was a nice touch. I was expecting traditional hand-cut vinyl like I had on my last vehicle, but Mars uses a precision cutting system that creates curved panels designed specifically for your vehicle. The difference in fit and finish was impressive—far superior to the straight-line cuts I was used to. Now, you can’t truly evaluate customer service until there’s a hiccup. In my case, one of the windows had an issue with the tint. Devin, the owner, personally inspected the vehicle and scheduled a fix for the very next day—no excuses, just action. The window was redone perfectly, with a smile and a genuine commitment to making it right. That’s rare. Throughout the process, I interacted with several team members who all went above and beyond: Kaden, the service writer, was fantastic to work with. Max, the installer, not only fixed the tint but carefully inspected the entire job to ensure everything was flawless. Kevin, the General Manager, came out to meet me and even helped arrange transportation. Devin, the owner, kept in constant touch and put my mind to ease. And a special shoutout to Mom Mars—Devin’s mom and hands-down the best unofficial ambassador any business could ask for. She's classy, welcoming, and made the experience that much better. Their facility is modern, clean, and truly impressive. If you're looking for window tint, protective coatings, or anything similar, do yourself a favor and give Mars a call. This team is the real deal—rock stars all around!

I brought my new to me vehicle here, a 2017 Toyota RAV4 (vehicle was off of a dealership, already very clean, but I wanted that extra step for it to feel that much more new to me) I paid extra for the Platinum Detail. I dropped my vehicle off at 7:00 am, and did not receive a call that it was finished until roughly 4:00pm. When I went and picked the vehicle up, I found that the floor mat in the cargo area looked like it had not been touched. There was also obvious loose debris in the floor mats, and in the seats, as well as some dirty spots on the seats in the front, and rear of the vehicle, they had neglected to wipe under the temp tag (it’s a paper temp tag, secured only by two screws in the top. So could easily be lifted out of the way). I wasn’t so much worried about the outside, as I was the inside. I can’t help but feel that I could have done a better job if I had done it myself. I could hardly tell the vehicle had even been detailed. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I called, and asked if this was normal. The man I spoke with on the phone assured me that this was not normal, and said they wanted to give it a second try, so I scheduled for another appointment. I dropped the vehicle off around 9:30/10:00am, I made sure to tell them I would pay extra for stain removal, or anything needed, they assured me that would not be necessary, and that they would take care of the issues. I received the vehicle back around 5:00pm, towards their closing time. When I got into the vehicle to inspect things, I was disappointed to find that things were a little better, but not great as I still found loose debris on the floors such as sticks, and grass. Disappointed, and having already given them a second chance, I do not believe I will ever be returning to this establishment for any kind of service. When paying over 365$ for a service, I expect the car to be absolutely spotless, at least inside. After hearing so many good things about Mars, maybe my expectations are just too high.
