Frequently asked service questions
How long will my ceramic coating last?
Well that really depends on how you maintain your car after you’ve coating your car. It is recommended that you purchase our ceramic coating maintenance package or you can buy it from a third party. Either way you’ll have to properly maintain your car and especially wash your car at least 3 to 4 times a week if it’s your daily driver. Remember to use a good branded cvar shampoo and use microfiber to dry your car after a wash. Doing all this consistently should last your ceramic coating over more than a year also contingent on the type of ceramic coating that was applied.

What is the difference between paint correction, compounding, polishing or buffing?
Paint Correction is a professional term for polishing, compounding, or buffing. (Buffing is a generic term often confused with paint correction). Compounding and polishing are techniques that are used in the process of paint correction along with special rotary and forced driven orbital machines, cutting, polishing pads and products. This process covers all areas above and beyond general degradation.
This includes removal of all imperfections including deep scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, hologramming, etching, paint overspray, and most surface damage. Many of these issues can be resolved using advanced paint correction techniques. This process slowly removes microscopic layers of clear coat to once again make the surface smooth and mirror like.
Unlike buffing, not just anyone can execute paint correction. This technique is a labor intensive process and must be performed by a master technician that has several years of experience. There are also certain products that must be used to achieve paint correction. These high quality polishing products are developed using Nanotechnology and contain super micro abrasives. They are carefully selected and imported from around the world.
Each of these fine products are used for different levels of paint correction and the technician must be familiar with how to use each product individually. The art of safe, modern and proper polishing techniques is what separates the true professional detailer from all the rest and is a skill set that is mastered by very few.
Can detailing a car remove deeper grooves on the body and the swirls?
Swirls can be removed easily but in some cases they still remain to some extend depending on the condition of the car. You’ll feel the difference in the beforere and after. However, the deeper grooves if penetrated along the body cannot be removed. This is not a guarantee in any detailing service. As the vehicle’s body is damaged and we do not deal in the denting painting services.
Can there be a problem with the car after engine washing?
Well, before washing the engine bay we use polyethylene or plastic bag to cover up all the electrical components of the vehicle so that they remain dry and water free. We always take precautionary measures to ensure the whole detailing process goes as smoothly as possible.
