FAQs About Detailing and Ceramic Coatings
Q: What is car detailing?
A: Car detailing is a thorough cleaning and restoration process that goes beyond a regular wash. It includes cleaning, polishing, paint correction, and protecting your car’s surfaces to restore and maintain its appearance.
Q: How often should I get my car valeted/detailed?
A: The frequency depends on how often you use your car and the conditions it’s exposed to. Generally, every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended for maintenance valets to keep your car looking its best. Detailing is best done when new or you take ownership. Depending on the level of service you choose then having a car ceramic coated from new means you only need to maintain regularly.
Q: What is paint correction?
A: Paint correction involves removing surface imperfections such as scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation through polishing techniques, restoring the car’s paint to a smooth, glossy finish.

A: Ceramic coatings are a liquid polymer applied to your car’s exterior that chemically bonds to the surface, providing long-lasting protection against dirt, water, UV rays, and minor scratches.
Q: How long does a ceramic coating last?
A: Depending on the type of coating and maintenance, ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years, offering durable protection and an enhanced shine.
