Coatings are done indoors, for a reason
A coating bonds to bare, corrected paint and needs to stay dry while it cures. The shop gives us the light to see every defect and the conditions to cure it properly.
- Paint inspected and corrected under proper lighting
- No dust, rain or direct sun during application
- Car stays dry for the first 12 hours of cure
- Wash and care guidance when you pick up

How do I book?
Send a quote request with your vehicle and what you're after. We confirm a price and date, and a deposit locks in your spot.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
We use Gtechniq coatings:
- Paint: Crystal Serum, up to 5 years
- Glass: up to 2 years
- Wheels: up to 2 years
- Trim: up to 2 years
How long yours lasts depends on how the car is washed and maintained.
Do I need paint correction before a coating?
It's included. Every coating comes with a one-step paint correction, which removes swirls, light scratches and water spots first, because the coating locks in whatever is underneath. Dark or heavily swirled paint may need a two-step. We inspect your paint and confirm with you before we start.
Can I get just a polish, without a coating?
Yes. Paint correction is available on its own, from $600 for a one-step on a sedan. It removes swirls, light scratches and water spots, and we finish it with a ceramic sealant.
Is the coating guaranteed?
Yes. Every coating comes with our 3-year workmanship guarantee. If it fails because of how we applied it, we fix or recoat the affected panels free. It covers our application, not damage such as rock chips, scratches, brush car washes or water spotting, and it stays valid with a check-up wash at the shop once a year.
Will a coating stop scratches and rock chips?
No. It adds gloss, makes the car far easier to wash, and protects against UV, bird droppings and water spotting. Rock chips and deep scratches need paint protection film.
Do you still offer mobile detailing?
Yes. We come to your home or work for full details. Through fall and winter, mobile appointments depend on the weather, so if it's pouring or freezing on your day we reschedule at no charge. For a guaranteed date, drop your car at the shop, where we work rain or shine. Paint correction and ceramic coatings are shop-only.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A deposit secures your spot, and it comes off your final bill. It's fully refundable if you cancel more than 48 hours before your appointment, and you can reschedule any time before that. Inside 48 hours, the deposit is kept.
