Services
What's the difference between detailing, paint correction, and ceramic coating?+
Detailing cleans and restores surfaces to their best possible condition. Paint correction removes defects (swirls, scratches) from the clear coat itself. Ceramic coating applies a protective layer over the corrected surface for long-term protection. They complement each other. Many clients get all three.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?+
We strongly recommend it. Correcting first ensures the coating locks in a flawless finish rather than sealing in existing imperfections. Think of it as starting with a perfect canvas.
What's included in a full detail package?+
Our full packages combine interior and exterior detailing into one comprehensive service. Specific inclusions vary by tier (Gold, Platinum), but all include thorough cleaning of all surfaces, decontamination, and protective finishes. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Do you offer paint protection film (PPF)?+
Yes. We offer PPF installation for partial or full coverage using premium self-healing films. Call us to discuss options and pricing for your specific vehicle and coverage needs.
Coating & Care
How long does ceramic coating last?+
Our coatings range from 1 year to 5+ years depending on the product selected and maintenance. Sedan 1-year packages start at $250+, larger vehicles at $300+. Proper care extends longevity significantly.
How do I maintain a ceramic-coated car?+
Coated vehicles are much easier to maintain. Use pH-neutral soap, avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes, and hand dry with quality microfiber towels. We provide detailed care instructions after every coating application.
What products do you use?+
We use premium, professionally-grade products selected for proven performance and safety on automotive finishes. We don't cut corners on products because quality materials are essential for quality results.
How much do services cost?+
Pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and the specific services chosen. We never quote blindly. We assess each vehicle and provide honest, transparent pricing before any work begins. Free quotes available by phone or online.
