Picture
​Clear is what protects the color of your vehicle and it needs protecting as well.  We desire a permanent, scratch-free finish on all parts of our vehicles, which is evidenced by scratch performance becoming the highest rated customer concern.


Your vehicles exterior and how our services are set up

Material:
 Without a clear top coat the color coat would degrade extremely quick. The clear coat was designed to protect that color base, but it is not perfect either, it also needs protecting.  Clear coats are made from a resin which is plastic and has hardening agents added to prolong its life, durability and shine. Weather, environment and care techniques degrade the coating though.
Products:
  • Soap that has plenty of cleaning & lubricating abilities. Iron removers, wheel cleaners, tire cleaners, bug removers, tar remover, clay mitts, spray sealant, wax and ceramic coating are all things needs to clean & protect our vehicles.
  • Sanding with 1,000 - 8,000 grit sandpaper is sometimes necessary to remove scratching 
  • Follow up with a gritty compound to remove dullness & refine those marks
  • Polish is the last step that can remove lighter marks creating that high gloss we love
Protection:
  • Wax is a basic form of protection. While it works fine, leaves a great shine it is a natural product so longevity makes it not so desirable. Generally 3 months or less of protection with up to 6 or more months when garage kept, driven low miles & extremely pampered.
  • Synthetic Sealants are man made created to be quick to apply, longer protection & have added gloss enhancers.
           Closer to 6 months protection & again, more based on vehicle use.
  • Ceramic Coatings are right now the strongest most durable option for hand applied protection. They are designed similar to your clear coat using different types of resins with other additives. They also add gloss and intensify the color especially metallic finishes.
          Ceramic coatings that I install last from 1-5 years. The higher the years the more pampering needed which makes 1-3 year coating     
          more desirable for my clients.

Safety equipment:
  • Latex gloves 
  • Respirator to protect from the strong solvents used in many ceramic coating products
  • Eye wear for loose debris
  • Ear protection
Tools & equipment:
  • Wheel & tire cleaners, cleaners to remove decontamination, soaps, engine degreasers, bug removers & more
  • Clay bar to remove embedded decontamination
  • Sand papers of various grits, compounds, polishes, waxes, sealants & coatings
  • Dual action sander for wet sanding paint finishes
  • High speed machine polisher and dual action polisher of various sizes from 3 inch to 5 inch to 6 inch to fit into tight or large areas
  • Pressure washer for quicker cleaning while using less water to be more earth friendly
  • Various towels, application pads, bottles, sprayers, brushes & more
What gets cleaned and detailed on the Exterior:
  • Engine compartment, door jams, wheels, tires & wheel wells
  • Complete wash of the exterior including grills, window seals/trim, fuel door, emblems & all the little crevices
  • Wheels off cleaning can also be done when a deep clean & extra protection is wanted
  • When polishing we can do spot repairs or entire vehicle. 
  • Topped with your choice of protection
Why: 
 I carry products and introduce procedures specific for each concern to help remedy the issues, deliver a safe vehicle and happy client experience. 
 There are many ways to clean and detail a vehicle and since my start in 1995 I've seen a lot of changes in the automotive world. Each vehicle, each owner is unique and I strive to do what I love, be friendly to our environment, help you my client with your concerns all while giving you the best experience and hopefully brightening up your week.

  I want vehicles to leave my shop that not only look better but stay cleaner longer over any other vehicle.
