Call (213) 282-8201Professional-grade ceramic coatings typically last 2-5 years with proper maintenance. Premium coatings like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra or Ceramic Pro 9H can last 7-9 years with our warranty. Longevity depends on maintenance, storage conditions, and driving habits.
Wax lasts 1-3 months and provides minimal protection. Ceramic coating bonds chemically to paint, lasting years with 9H hardness, extreme hydrophobic properties, UV protection, and chemical resistance. Coating costs more upfront but provides superior long-term value and protection.
Yes! Our multi-stage paint correction process removes 80-95% of swirl marks, light scratches, and defects. We use professional RUPES polishers with varying compounds to safely level paint. Deep scratches that penetrate clear coat may require touch-up paint or respraying.
We recommend: Basic wash every 2 weeks, full detail every 3-6 months, paint correction annually or as needed, ceramic coating reapplication every 3-7 years. High-use or garage-kept vehicles may need different schedules - we provide custom maintenance plans.
Absolutely! We use paint depth gauges to measure clear coat thickness before correction, ensuring safe polishing. Professional-grade equipment and trained technicians prevent burning through clear coat. Most modern vehicles have 2-4 mils of clear coat - we only remove 0.2-0.5 mils during correction.
We detail all vehicles: luxury sedans, sports cars, exotics, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and classic cars. Special accommodations available for oversized vehicles. We've worked on everything from vintage Porsches to modern Lamborghinis.
Basic Detail: 3-4 hours. Premium Detail: 6-8 hours. Paint Correction: 1-3 days depending on condition. Ceramic Coating Package: 2-4 days (includes correction + coating cure time). We provide accurate timelines during inspection.
Maintain coating with: pH-neutral car wash soap, hand washing (no automatic washes for 30 days), microfiber towels only, bi-annual coating booster application. We provide complete aftercare kit and maintenance guide with every coating service.
Yes! Ceramic coating over PPF is highly recommended. It enhances PPF's gloss, provides additional stain resistance, makes cleaning easier, and protects the film itself from yellowing and contaminants. We use PPF-safe coating formulations.
Currently, we operate from our climate-controlled facility equipped with professional lighting, paint depth gauges, and specialized equipment. This ensures highest quality results. For ceramic coating packages we can arrange pickup and delivery of your car — ask when you book.
We accept: Cash, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, and financing through Affirm for services over $1,000. 50% deposit required for ceramic coating packages.
