Frequently Asked Questions

A Ceramic Coating is a chemical mixture consisting of silicon dioxide (SiO2), also known as silica, which is the main ingredient, often combined with other oxides like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and sometimes zirconium dioxide (ZrO2

There are a few reasons to have a Ceramic Coating installed, one of the best reasons is for the protection that a Ceramic coating provides to your vehicle’s paint. Once installed a Ceramic Coating protects against Metal / Iron fallout common in and around cities, Bird droppings, Bug Guts / Droppings, Acid Rain, high mineral content in harsh water, and salt and minerals often in the air in coastal regions, as well as road salts and road grime. Among the other reasons is the increased glass like glossy reflection. as well as the increased ease of cleaning.

The process of installing a Ceramic Coating involves a full scale exterior detail to fully decontaminate the paint. Once fully washed, decontaminated, and prepped for correction, we will perform either a single step polish or a 2-step polish. once completed with the paint correction to remove any defects, scratches, or swirls in the paint, we then do a final prep for the Ceramic Coating. once this is complete we start with the application of our Ceramic Coating. After the Ceramic Coating is installed we make a final inspection of the vehicle to ensure there are no high spots, missed spots, or smudges, or debris under the coating and then we return it back to the owner. Due to the level of quality and safety that we operate with, a typical Ceramic Installation will take between 9 - 12 Hours.

Paint Correction is the process of sanding (buffing) down clear coat to remove paint defects such as scratches, swirls, oxidation, and marring. this is done by using a combination of polishing compound and buffing pad. both polishes and pads come in different levels of cut / abrasives.

Getting your vehicle painted is without a doubt an expensive cost, and in many cases your paint defects or damage can be fixed through paint correction. for defects and damage such as swirls, heavy scratching, marring, or oxidation, you can look to paint correction to give you the repair you need. once clear coat begins to peel, or the paint damage is down to the base coat, or down to the metal, and in extreme cases of oxidized paint you will have to look at repainting as well This is why it’s so important to get the eyes of a professional to help guide you through the process. the 2 main factors in determining whether to move forward with paint correction, or a Repainting is Maintaining the value, and overall cost of repair.. By keeping the original paint on the vehicle it preserves its value, once new paint has been applied to the vehicle it lowers the value of your vehicle significantly. the other factor being overall cost of repair. Paint correction can range between $300 - $3,000 whereas repainting is going to be $1,000 - $8,000.

The first difference of the few we will list is that the general structure of business is different as detailers operate from a “Quality over Quantity” approach, whereas car washes operate from the exact opposite in a “Quantity over Quality”. The second difference is the quality of work done. Because a detailing business focuses on providing high quality work you can expect a much more thorough cleaning and even a reconditioned vehicle; whereas due to a car wash having to push out a large quantity, they often times don’t have the time to pay attention to the details, often resulting in missed spots. The next difference is the care given to your vehicle. detailers typical treat your vehicle with precision care to not scratch, stain or damage any part of your car. car washes on the other hand tend to be in a hurry, and will rush around the vehicle, not to mention automatic car washes that are filled with the dirt, rocks, and other abrasives in the agitating rotator. Lastly is the cost to value. Car washes tend to have low cost, low value. The detailer will have a higher cost and will also have a higher value.

just a few of the benefits of having your vehicle detailed monthly, quarterly, or annually includes

• better performance from your cooling systems

• better braking and accelerating

• better operation of vehicle safety components

• maintained condition of paint, trims, leathers, vinyls, and carpets
