Exterior Options

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is stronger and lasts much longer than a traditional wax when maintained properly. We currently offer 1, 2 and 5-year ceramic coatings for your exterior paint, vinyl wrap and paint protection film. We can even apply it to your windows, wheels, brake calipers and trim. It is extremely hydrophobic, repelling water instantly as you can see on our client's hood above.This makes it much easier to keep your car clean. There are many more benefits of ceramic coating that we will cover.

A wax sits on top of your paint and wears away with each wash, allowing contaminants to embed themselves into your paint if you're not waxing your vehicle as often as every 2-3 months. Ceramic coating is semi-permanent as it actually binds to your paint, creating a protective layer that will shield your paint from staining from bird droppings, bug acid, tree sap and light water spots. It even offers great protection from UV damage which could cause oxidation and destroy your clear coat over time.

Ceramic coating also adds depth to your paint, giving it an incredible shine that will turn heads wherever you go. The best part is that it lasts for years rather than just a month or two if you're not keeping up with regular waxing. Check out the ceramic coating section in our portfolio tab to see the cars that we have ceramic coated.  

Your vehicle's paint (or other surfaces) need to be prepared properly in order to get the best results. Preparation can be extensive but it is a vital step. Because ceramic coating binds to your paint and shields it from letting contaminants in, any paint imperfections or contaminants, like swirl marks and iron deposits left alone would remain there visibly for as long as the coating is rated to last. With each ceramic coating, we include proper paint decontamination to prepare your paint, however, if you have light to heavy swirl marks, hard water spots or any other paint defects, please consider looking into our  paint enhancement or correction service to bring your paint back to its best version of itself before coating it for 1-5 years. 


This service takes 4.5-8 hours depending on size, condition and coating longevity.

Paint Correction

Have you ever noticed that your paint has a lot of surface scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, hard water spots, bird dropping etchings or holograms when you look at it in the sunlight? A paint correction will remove 80-95% of these imperfections and will give your vehicle an incredible showroom finish with the use of a high-speed machine polisher and two different compound/polish and pad combinations. The transformation is remarkable. See how we completely transformed our client's 1978 Mercedes 450 SL (pictured above) in our Portfolio tab.


This service takes 7-12 hours depending on size and condition.

Paint Enhancement

Our paint enhancement detail is perfect for those looking to bring back a deep shine to their paint and protect it but might not want a full correction. It includes a one-step polish that helps tackle light surface scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, water spots and bird dropping etchings. A one-step polish will remove 50-65% of these imperfections, giving your vehicle an incredible finish with the use of a high-speed machine polisher and one compound/polish and pad combination. 


This service takes 5-8 hours depending on size and condition.

Leather Conditioning

Proper cleaning and conditioning of your leather seats is vital to keep it looking its best. Leather dries out, cracks, and fades without proper upkeep. Dirty leather shines and shimmers from body oil and grease contamination and may also need our interior deep clean service which includes leather conditioning. Allow your leather to feel smooth, look silky, and smell fresh again. 

Leather Coating

Applying a hydrophobic coating to your leather seats will allow it to resist stains (like coffee or denim dye), dirt, and protect it from UV rays for 1-2 years depending on exposure. Maintenance of your leather seats becomes as simple as wiping it with a damp towel to remove any contaminants.
