THE PROBLEM

Most Detailing Doesn't Last

Here's what usually happens. You pay for a detail, the car looks brilliant for a fortnight, then the swirls come back and you're not sure whether they ever left. Often they didn't. A lot of "correction" is just glaze and filler polish hiding defects that reappear the first time it rains. It looks fantastic under showroom lights and terrible in direct sun three weeks later. The other version is worse. Aggressive polishing on paint that was already thin, done fast, done outdoors, with no idea how much clear coat was left. That damage isn't reversible. We measure first. Then we correct. Then we protect. In that order, every time.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does ceramic coating actually last?

Three to five years for our standard systems, longer for multi-layer, but it depends almost entirely on how the car is washed and stored. Automatic car washes will kill a coating fast. That's why we offer maintenance washes.

Will correction remove every scratch?

Do I need correction before coating?
