Specialized services
Protection, Correction & Restoration
Beyond standard detailing. Ceramic coating, paint correction, waxing, leather restoration, paint protection film, and key fob replacement & programming — each priced per vehicle after inspection so you get an honest quote and a realistic expectation.
Ceramic Coating
A semi-permanent liquid polymer that bonds to your clear coat and forms a hard, hydrophobic layer of long-term exterior protection. Water beads and sheets off, dirt struggles to stick, and washing gets dramatically easier.
- Best for
- Owners who plan to keep their vehicle a while, new-car buyers protecting factory paint, and anyone tired of constant washing.
- Expected result
- A slick, glass-like finish with noticeably richer gloss and paint that stays cleaner between washes for far longer.
Key benefits
- Long-term exterior protection measured in years, not weeks
- Strongly hydrophobic — water beads up and rolls away
- Easier cleaning and far less scrubbing on wash day
- Deep gloss and enhanced depth of color
- Resists UV fade, road film, bird droppings and other environmental contaminants
What the process includes
- Full decontamination wash, iron removal and clay bar
- Paint inspection and gloss-level assessment
- Paint correction or polish as needed so the coating locks in a clean finish
- Panel wipe to strip all oils and polishing residue
- Hand-applied coating, leveled panel by panel
- Controlled cure time before the vehicle is returned or exposed to water
Paint Correction
Machine polishing that removes or reduces the defects dulling your finish — swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots and haze — to bring back clarity and true gloss instead of just hiding flaws with filler.
- Best for
- Swirled daily drivers, dull or oxidized older paint, vehicles being prepped for coating, and cars being prepared for sale.
- Expected result
- Sharper reflections, deeper color and a dramatically clearer finish.
Key benefits
- Removes or reduces swirl marks and wash-induced marring
- Reduces light scratches and surface imperfections
- Cuts through oxidation and faded, chalky paint
- Clears haze and buffer trails from previous poor-quality work
- Restores genuine gloss, clarity and reflection depth
What the process includes
- Decontamination wash, iron removal and clay bar
- Paint depth and defect inspection under dedicated inspection lighting
- Test spot to confirm the safest, most effective pad and compound combination
- One-step polish, or multi-step cut and refine for heavier defects
- Panel wipe and final inspection
- Optional sealant, wax or ceramic coating to lock in the correction
Waxing
A hand-applied wax or paint sealant that adds warm gloss and a smooth, slick surface along with a solid layer of short-term paint protection. The most cost-effective way to keep a well-maintained finish looking sharp.
- Best for
- Vehicles already in good condition, seasonal protection before winter or summer, and owners who want maximum shine for a modest investment.
- Expected result
- A rich, glossy, hand-finished shine with water that beads and sheds cleanly.
Key benefits
- Immediate gloss and warmth in the finish
- Short-term protection against road film and light contaminants
- Noticeably smoother, slicker surface
- Better water repellency so the vehicle dries cleaner
- Affordable maintenance between larger services
What the process includes
- Hand wash and dry
- Light decontamination where needed
- Wax or sealant applied by hand, panel by panel
- Buff to a clean, even, high-gloss finish
- Trim, glass and wheel faces tidied
Leather Restoration
Dedicated care for leather and leather-trimmed interiors. We deep clean embedded soil from the grain, treat stains, condition the hide back to a healthy supple feel, and protect it against the drying and cracking that ruins seats over time.
- Best for
- Higher-mileage luxury interiors, dry or dull seats, light-colored leather with dye transfer, and lease returns.
- Expected result
- Cleaner, softer, more uniform leather with a natural factory finish rather than a greasy artificial shine.
Key benefits
- Deep cleaning that lifts soil out of the grain and perforations
- Conditioning that restores suppleness and a factory-correct finish
- Targeted stain treatment for dye transfer, ink and body oils
- Improvement of minor wear, scuffing and shine spots
- Color restoration and repair options where appropriate
- Ongoing protection against drying, cracking and UV damage
What the process includes
- Inspection to identify the leather type, coating and level of wear
- Gentle pH-appropriate deep clean with soft agitation
- Targeted stain and discoloration treatment
- Conditioning and rehydration of the hide
- Color restoration or touch-up when the finish is worn through
- Protective UV-resistant top coat
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
A transparent, self-healing urethane film applied over your paint to physically absorb impacts. Unlike a coating, PPF puts a real sacrificial barrier between your finish and the road, which is why it is the standard for high-impact areas.
- Best for
- New vehicles, highway commuters, performance and luxury cars, and any owner who wants the front end kept chip-free.
- Expected result
- Invisible, durable armor across the panels that take the most punishment.
Key benefits
- Genuine physical protection against rock chips and stone strikes
- Shields against road debris, sand and salt spray
- Absorbs light scratches, with self-healing film recovering from fine marring
- Targeted coverage of high-impact areas that take the most abuse
- Virtually invisible when properly installed
- Preserves original paint and resale value
What the process includes
- Inspection and measurement of the panels to be covered
- Full decontamination and paint prep, including correction where needed
- Pattern selection or custom cutting for your exact vehicle
- Precision installation with edge wrapping where the panel allows
- Squeegee, heat set and cure
- Final inspection for lift, contamination and edge quality
Key Fob Replacement & Programming
Replacement key fobs, spare keys and on-site programming for supported vehicles. Lost your only key, or want a backup before you need one? We verify compatibility for your exact vehicle first, then program and test it.
- Best for
- Owners who lost a key, are down to a single key, or bought a used vehicle that came with only one fob.
- Expected result
- A fully working, correctly programmed key you can rely on.
Key benefits
- Replacement fobs for lost, broken or water-damaged keys
- Additional or spare keys so you are never locked out
- Programming and system pairing
- Compatibility verified against your specific vehicle before you buy
- Mobile service for supported vehicles and key systems
- Frequently a fraction of dealership pricing
What the process includes
- Confirm vehicle year, make, model and key system
- Verify proof of ownership
- Confirm the correct fob and required programming method
- Source the fob and cut the mechanical blade if applicable
- Program and pair the fob to the vehicle
- Test all functions — lock, unlock, trunk, panic and push-to-start

Questions
Frequently Asked
Do you come to me for these services?
Yes — all of our specialized services are mobile for supported vehicles. Ceramic coating and PPF do require a controlled environment for curing and dust management, so we confirm your location works during the quote. A garage or covered space is ideal.
Why do these services need a quote instead of a fixed price?
Unlike a standard detail, the work depends entirely on your vehicle's specific condition. Paint hardness, defect depth, panel complexity, leather wear and key system all change the labor and materials required. Quoting after inspection is the only honest way to price it.
What is the difference between ceramic coating and PPF?
A ceramic coating is a chemical layer that adds gloss, hydrophobic behavior and easier cleaning, but it is thin and will not stop a rock chip. PPF is a physical urethane film thick enough to absorb impacts. Many owners use PPF on the front end and ceramic coating over the rest of the vehicle.
Do I need paint correction before a coating?
Almost always, at least a light polish. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so applying one over swirls and haze preserves those defects for years. We include the appropriate level of correction in every coating quote.
Can you program a key for any vehicle?
No, and we will not claim otherwise. Availability depends on your vehicle's year, make, model, key system and the required programming method. Some security systems can only be handled by a dealer or a locksmith with specialized equipment. We verify compatibility for your exact vehicle before you commit to anything, and proof of ownership is always required.
How long do these services take?
Waxing and leather restoration are typically same-day. Paint correction ranges from several hours for a one-step to multiple days for a multi-step on a heavily defected vehicle. Ceramic coating and PPF include cure time, so we schedule those with the vehicle staying put. We give you a specific window in your quote.
