How To Protect Your Investment, Keep Your Car Looking New... and Turn Everyone’s Heads

Nothing compares to the joy of driving your dream car on the open road, windows open or top down, the way driving was meant to be...feeling the wind in your hair, the sun on your arms, the worries and cares you’ve left behind at home. It’s more than just a transportation method - it’s a way of life. Your way of life. And cheaper than therapy (sort of).
BMW. Audi. Mercedes Benz. Tesla. Lamborghini. Ferrari. Lexus. You’ve invested in one of the finest automobiles ever built. Its design is timeless - with the right protection, it can stay that way.
The bugs, the tar, the dirt, the sun, the birds. They come with the territory, but the thought of birds targeting your prized vehicle makes you want to leave it in the garage, where it’s nice and safe. Your car shouldn’t be a garage queen. It needs to be driven...it WANTS to be driven.
You care about your car. You want to protect it, but you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to do so. You’re tired of taking it to dirty auto shops, leaving it for weeks on end, and having to hound the shop for updates. You want to entrust your beloved vehicle with a car care studio that will treat it just like you would - with care and pride.
And there’s the obvious - you want your car to look good. No, not just good...sexy. You want to see the head turns and the elbow nudges as you cruise by. You want to impress - and your baby has to look its best. When it looks good, you look good...and sexy.
Does this sound like you?
Looking great 24/7 takes so much work... and time... and money... and sweat.
You spend hours every weekend washing and waxing your vehicle, only to do it again the next weekend. In the heat of a Houston summer, this is exhausting.
You’re not a sucker. You’re not going to be taken for a ride - but you’d rather deal with a business that won’t take you for one anyway.
You’ve heard about ceramic coating, but you’re not exactly sure what you need or who to trust.
You don’t have money to throw around, but you’re willing to spend it in the right place on the right protection.
You take it to a detailer, spending $150-200 every few weeks for waxing.
You want to do business with someone who will love your car as much as you do.
Hi, I'm Anson Lau.
Fifteen years ago, I was in the same place. I’d just bought my first “high-performance car” - a Silverstone Metallic Nissan 350Z, 287hp (I know, I know…). I’d dreamed of this car for years, and buying it made me feel like I’d finally made it. But then the paranoia set in. What if it got scratched? What about all the road debris? The sweltering heat of a Houston summer would surely fade the paint! Suddenly, I wanted to keep it safe in the garage and only take it out on the most perfect of days.
I became obsessed with car care - not just washing it on the weekends (which I did religiously!), but researching the best products and techniques for keeping my precious Z in pristine condition. Soon, my obsession turned into a part-time side hustle...car guys and gals just like me had a hard time finding someone who would take such excellent care of their vehicles. Forget about Bubba down at the corner car wash - they wanted someone who knew cars inside and out, who could CARE for them, not just CLEAN them. They wanted the best for their cars - so we decided to offer the best.
Thus, Vivë Auto Detailing was born.
Imagine for a second...
Not having to spend $150-200 every few months to wax the car, and making washing easier and quicker!
Freedom from worrying about damage to your car as you enjoy the open road
Extending that “new car” look for years...and ensuring it always looks its best.
The peace of mind knowing that your car is in the best of hands, in a clean, well-lit car care studio with specialists that have been in the industry for more than a decade
The secret that will keep your car protected, looking brand-new, and turning heads?

Our Guarantee
We guarantee our work, but the results are truly up to you. If you drive away from our studio and never wash your car again, the protective coating will not last. If you take our advice and care for your coating, it will last much longer.
Book your appointment now!
Our appointments book up weeks ahead, so hurry to get on our schedule. Pre-book to secure your spot and receive special bonuses and discounts. Remember the longer you wait, the more you drive your car, the more danger your car is in from the elements - the birds, the rocks, the raccoons. Get it protected as soon as possible so you’re not repainting it in a couple of years.
FAQ
We advise all of our customers not to roll their window down for 7 days to make sure the film was installed and cured correctly.
The amount of time varies, depending on your type of vehicle. A complete car can take 1 to 2 days. If old aftermarket film has to be removed, that can add anywhere from an extra day or two.
Ceramic Window Tint is a technologically advanced film with outstanding, top-performing features. The addition of ceramic technology enhances solar performance and infrared rejection, maintaining a fully non-metal construction for no signal interference with on-board or portable electronic devices.
Our packages were designed based on how you care for the vehicle and length of ownership. The higher the grade of film, the more heat rejection properties.

Window tinting typically refers to a process in which a transparent sheet of film is applied to the inside of a vehicle's windows. The main purpose of this process is to reduce the amount of heat and radiation from the sun that reaches the interior of the vehicle, but many folks just tint their windows because they think it looks cool. The thickness of the film and the material from which it is made can vary, and different states have different restrictions regarding the darkness of the film that may be used.
