Question 1

What is paint correction, and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Paint correction refers to the meticulous process of eliminating light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation from your vehicle’s clear coat, thereby restoring a deep, mirror-like shine. It is important to note that most vehicles, including new ones, often exhibit minor paint imperfections resulting from washing or dealership preparation. Should you observe dullness, haze, or swirl marks in direct sunlight, paint correction can significantly enhance your vehicle's finish prior to the application of protective coatings.

Question 2

What’s the difference between wax, sealant, and ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Wax provides a temporary shine and protection, typically lasting between 1 to 2 months.

In contrast, sealants deliver extended durability, lasting up to 6 months, due to their synthetic polymer composition.

Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, form a molecular bond with your vehicle's paint, resulting in a semi-permanent protective layer that can endure for years with appropriate maintenance. This advanced coating repels water, resists UV damage, and simplifies the cleaning process for your vehicle.

Question 3

How long can you expect a ceramic coating to last?

Accepted Answer

The longevity of ceramic coatings typically ranges from 2 to 5 years, with the potential for even longer durations depending on the specific product utilized and the maintenance regimen implemented.

We deliver thorough education to each client on the appropriate washing and maintenance techniques necessary to ensure the coating's durability and maintain your vehicle's finish in optimal condition.

Additionally, we offer maintenance packages that include a 12-month warranty and a 6-month reboost on all ceramic coatings we install.

Question 4

Will a ceramic coating prevent scratches or rock chips?

Accepted Answer

No coating renders paint bulletproof. Ceramic coatings offer chemical and UV resistance, along with minor scratch protection, such as defense against light marring or towel marks. They do not prevent rock chips or deep scratches; that is the primary function of paint protection film (PPF). Nevertheless, coatings assist in minimizing swirl marks and enhance the safety of maintenance washes.

Question 5

What is a Reboost on a Ceramic Coating?

Accepted Answer

A Reboost is a professional maintenance service specifically designed to refresh and enhance the ceramic coating initially applied to your vehicle.

Over time, environmental contaminants such as road film, hard water, and pollen can accumulate on the coating’s surface, diminishing its slickness and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties. During a Reboost, we will:

- Conduct a deep clean and decontamination of the paint, effectively removing iron, tar, and other buildup.
- Apply a specialized ceramic topper that revitalizes gloss, slickness, and protection.

This service is essential for maintaining the optimal performance of your coating, ensuring that your paint remains smooth, and extending the life of your original coating warranty when performed on schedule—typically every 6 to 12 months.

Question 6

Accepted Answer
