We don’t offer full-panel wet sanding as a standard service—it’s invasive and best reserved for specific cases with measured risk. If a client requests specialized sanding work, we’ll evaluate and refer or scope a limited, informed approach.
Much easier. The slick surface sheds grime and water, so gentle methods work: rinseless or hand wash with pH-neutral soap, soft mitts, and plush towels. Remove bird droppings, bugs, and sprinkler spots quickly—acids and minerals can etch any surface if left to bake. We’ll give you a simple wash routine and product list.
Timing depends on paint condition and goals. Correction doesn’t “pull” scratches out—it carefully levels the surrounding clearcoat so the defect blends in at a microscopic level. We balance results with long-term paint health to avoid over-thinning the clear. Severe defects may require repainting.
Yes. Coatings don’t make cars self-cleaning—they make cleaning faster and safer. Dirt will still land; you’ll just need less effort (and less risk of marring) to remove it. Quick wipes for fresh bugs or droppings are especially helpful in Houston’s heat.
No—coatings can actually make existing defects more visible because the finish becomes glossier. If you care about swirl removal, we’ll perform paint enhancement first. If you just want easier cleanup and aren’t bothered by light swirls, we can coat without multi-step correction to save budget.
With the wheels off, we can deep-clean and coat every surface—faces, barrels, and behind spokes—so brake dust releases easily and corrosive iron doesn’t etch the finish. Big brake kits especially benefit because tight clearances are hard to reach on-car. The result is faster washes, less staining, and longer-lasting shine.
No. Coatings are typically 1–2 microns thick; clearcoat is 35–50 microns, vinyl 3 mil, and PPF 8–10 mil. Coatings add slickness, gloss, UV resistance, and easy cleaning—but they aren’t impact layers like PPF.
Professional coatings last longer, look better, and are installed in controlled conditions. The chemistry “flashes” quickly—if timing or prep is off, high spots can cure into the finish and require machine correction. We correct paint as needed, apply in a climate-controlled bay, and IR-cure so you get a durable, even, high-gloss finish backed by our support and the manufacturer’s warranty.
The best coating is the one that fits your goals, budget, and maintenance habits. Top professional coatings share key traits: strong hydrophobics, durable chemistry, UV resistance, and real-world longevity. We test what we install on our own cars and recommend based on how you drive and care for your vehicle.
We start with a wash and decontamination (iron remover \+ clay), then tape-off and polish (one-, two-, or three-step based on your goals), wipe with panel prep solvent, apply coating to paint and trim, IR-cure, and let it dry 24 hours before exposure. We’ll align on your goals first—some clients want perfection, others prioritize protection and easy maintenance.
Coatings are extremely smooth, hydrophobic, and chemically resistant—that’s why your car stays cleaner. Those same properties can reduce adhesive “bite,” so decals may not bond well without special prep. If you plan to add graphics, tell us—we can prep the area or advise timing before coating.
