RestorFX Paint Restoration in the Algarve

RestorFX is a Polymimetic clear-coat regeneration system — not a repaint. It fills clear-coat scratches, swirls and oxidation, adds roughly ten microns of new clear coat, and keeps your car's original factory colour. At JustCars we are an official RestorFX centre, working from two equal studios in Almancil and Loulé, and we apply it the honest way: only where it genuinely suits the paint in front of us.

What RestorFX actually does

RestorFX regenerates the clear coat rather than replacing paint. The Polymimetic chemistry bonds into the existing clear layer, filling fine scratches, swirl marks and the dull, hazy look that oxidation leaves behind, then adds around ten microns of fresh clear coat on top. Your original colour stays exactly as it was — there is no respray, no colour match to worry about, and no disassembly of panels. What you get back is the depth and clarity the finish had before the sun and the years worked on it.

When restoration is the right call — and when it isn't

RestorFX works when the clear coat is still present and the problem is surface-level: oxidation, UV hazing, swirl marks and light scratching. It is a strong fit for a five- or eight-year-old car that has aged faster than it should. Where the clear coat is peeling, the base coat is exposed, or there is corrosion underneath, restoration is not the answer and we will say so plainly. Every job starts with an honest assessment of the actual paint, not a price list. If your car needs bodywork or paint instead, we tell you.

Paint in the Algarve conditions

Cars in the Golden Triangle — Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura — and across Quarteira, Almancil, Loulé and Faro live under intense sun, sea salt and the occasional calima dust. Those conditions flatten and cloud a clear coat faster than almost anywhere in Portugal, especially on bonnets, roofs and other horizontal panels. RestorFX is well suited to exactly this kind of UV and oxidation damage, which is why it is one of the treatments we return to most often for villa and resort cars.

FAQ

Is RestorFX a repaint?

No. RestorFX is clear-coat regeneration, not a respray. It fills scratches, swirls and oxidation and adds about ten microns of new clear coat while keeping your car's original colour.

Will my original colour change?

No. RestorFX works within the existing clear coat, so your factory colour stays exactly as it is. There is no colour match and no repaint involved.

Can RestorFX fix any paint damage?

It is ideal for oxidation, UV hazing, swirls and light scratches while the clear coat is still intact. Where paint is peeling or there is corrosion, we will tell you honestly that bodywork or paint is the right route instead.

How much does it cost?

Price depends on the car and the paint's condition, and we always confirm a fixed price up front before starting. Send us photos on WhatsApp and we will come back to you quickly.

Where are you based?

We work from two equal studios, JustCars Almancil and JustCars Loulé, serving the Golden Triangle and the wider Algarve. Concierge pickup and delivery is available for villa and resort clients.
