Answers before you commit.

A few of the most common questions we hear before protecting a vehicle.

What does a professional detail include?

Service scope depends on the vehicle. An interior reset can include vacuuming, cleaning high-touch surfaces and attention to heavily used areas. Exterior detailing focuses on a careful wash and finish-safe cleaning. We confirm the included work after assessing the vehicle.

What is paint correction, and what defects can it improve?

Paint correction uses machine polishing to reduce visible swirl marks, light scratches, haze and oxidation in the clear coat. Results depend on the paint and defect depth; some damage cannot be safely removed without repainting.

How do you decide between one-step and multi-step correction?

We inspect the paint under appropriate lighting and discuss your desired finish. A one-step service can improve gloss and reduce lighter defects, while multi-step correction addresses more noticeable defects. We avoid promising complete removal when that would compromise clear coat.

Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?

Not always. Correction can improve clarity before coating, but we first assess the paint condition, your expectations and the available clear coat. If the finish is already in good condition, a lighter preparation may be appropriate.

What does ceramic coating do?

On properly prepared paint, a ceramic coating adds gloss and helps routine washing by making the surface more water-repellent. It is not scratch-proof and does not prevent rock chips; performance depends on the product, preparation and ongoing care.

How long does ceramic coating last?

Durability varies by coating product, preparation, driving conditions and maintenance. We explain the product’s stated service life before work begins and recommend care based on its manufacturer guidance.

How long does a detail or correction appointment take?

Timing depends on vehicle size, condition and the agreed service scope. After inspection, we provide an estimated schedule so you know how long the vehicle will be with us.

How should I care for ceramic-coated paint?

Use regular, gentle hand washing with suitable products, dry with clean materials and address bird droppings or other contaminants promptly. Avoid abrasive polishing unless it is professionally assessed, since polishing can affect the coating.

What is included in a coating maintenance program?

Depending on the selected coating, planned visits may include an inspection, careful wash and appropriate maintenance or decontamination. Two- and three-year schedule options depend on the coating’s care requirements; we confirm the visit frequency and inclusions with your recommendation.

Can you detail a new or used vehicle?

Yes. We assess the current condition and use of either new or pre-owned vehicles, then recommend detailing, correction or ceramic coating only where it fits your goals.

Is ceramic coating worth it on a used vehicle?

It can be a good fit when the paint is in suitable condition and properly prepared. An inspection helps determine whether cleaning, correction or another preparation step is needed first.
