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.
I have be going to MARS for years! Every time I go in there, they treat me like family and go over the top to help me out with anything I come in for. Devon, Spencer, and the team are the best in the industry when it comes to detailing and keeping vehicles as clean and pristine as possible. They can do anything you can think of when I comes to vehicles, boats, and semis. Nothing they can’t tackle. They take care of everything in my garage Highly recommend!!

I had MARS of Billings do a full paint correction and repaint the fender flares on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee, and the results are unreal. The depth and clarity they brought back to the paint completely transformed the Jeep. It looks better than I expected for a vehicle that’s over 25 years old. The fender flares came out flawless. The color match is dead on and the finish is smooth and consistent. No shortcuts. No “good enough.” Just quality work done right. The service matched the craftsmanship. Clear communication, honest expectations, and they delivered exactly what they said they would. Hats off to Jason Auch. You can tell he takes pride in his work. If you want your vehicle done right the first time, MARS of Billings is the move.

Outstanding customer service with top notch communication. Work quality is 5 stars. If you’re into taking care of your vehicle and giving it the all star treatment, go to Mars and ask for Spencer.

I am incredibly impressed with the detailing job I received at Mars. I have several young children, who were not very kind to my cars interior. From the moment I contacted Mars the customer service was top notch. Extremely friendly and informative staff! I had VERY realistic expectations of what to expect due to the condition of my cars interior at drop off. When I went to pick up my vehicle after service I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY at how great of a job Trista did! She did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job on my car. I will absolutely be back to service with Mars in the future, and I will request Trista personally if she is available. Highly recommend!

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!
