We fix dents, scratches and other repairs
Water spot removal – water spots are mineral deposits that are left on a vehicles surface after water droplets dry on the clear coat. These mineral deposits can stain and etch your windows and paint surface. We use acidic cleaners to break down the minerals and polishing compounds to remove the etching marks from the vehicle.
Clay detailing – “claying” a vehicle is the process of using detailers clay and lubricants on the on the surface of a vehicle to remove imbedded dirt, minerals, overspray, industrial fallout, and other contaminants that are not removed trough a traditional wash process. This makes the paint surface smooth and extremely clean and allows sealants and waxes to adhere to the paint much better.
Windshield repair – windshield stone chips are very common and if not repaired can lead to a completely cracked windshield that needs to be replaced.. we fill the small rock chips with a polymer resin which forms a bond within in the chip preventing it from spreading and cracking. This minor procedure could save you hundreds of dollars by eliminating the need for a new windshield.
Headlight restoration – dingy, yellow, fogged headlights aren’t just an eye sore on shiny freshly detailed vehicle they also reduce the brightness of the headlight making it dangerous driving at night. we sand, buff and shine the lenses back to a crystal clear finish and protect them with a polymer clear coat to protect them for years to come.
Scratch removal – minor scratches from everyday use of your vehicle are as certain to happen as the sun coming up everyday. Whether its from your finger nails or rings around door handles to rubbing against the garage door when backing out of your parking spot. Through the use of wet sanding, high speed compounding and polishing we can get most scratches down to be virtually undetectable. This can go a long way in making an old car look much younger and making a newer car look like it just came off the show room floor.
Odor removal – whether its from spilled coffee, the family pet or smoking cars can be the breeding ground of some unpleasant odors. To eliminate these odors we use a in depth cleaning and shampooing process to remove the cause of the odor and then we chlorine vapors to deodorize and sanitize your vehicles interior. This process eliminates the odor not just masking the smell allowing it to come back later.
Interior Ozone Disinfectant Treatment – Ozone is a gas that removes odors, disinfects, and destroys viruses & bacteria that it comes in contact with. It is proven to be effective at sanitizing the air and hard surfaces. Ozone breaks down the membrane walls of viruses and bacteria, effectively destroying them on the spot. It is useful in automobile sanitizing as it can get into every nook and cranny of a vehicle’s interior, unlike the more traditional method of a liquid disinfectant and a towel. Since it is a gas, ozone can enter your vents and air conditioner system to destroy pollutants that could potentially be blown into your vehicle’s cabin. It gets into the fibers of carpets and upholstery, under seats, into headliners and touches all areas of your vehicle’s cabin. This makes it one of the best ways to completely disinfect a car’s interior. It is a stronger than bleach and kills germs almost instantaneously.
Not only does ozone sanitize, but it is also one of the most effect ways to neutralize odors. It destroys cigarette odors, pet odors, and odors from food or drink spills. Most “so called” odor eliminators only mask the bad smells with a more pleasant smell. Ozone eliminates the source of the odor and therefore eliminates the odor.
For all these reasons, ozone is an essential Add On to any Interior Detailing Package. If you truly want your car’s interior to be a safe and odor free environment ozone is for you. It cleans and sanitizes beyond what you can see for a germ free interior.
Interior Wipe On Disinfectant Treatment
Get the best protection available for your automobile and boat’s paint. Ceramic Coatings is the newest and best paint protection ever made. It is much harder than your car or boats’ original clear coat making it less susceptible to scratches, swirls, water spots, and any environmental hazards (bugs, bird droppings, leaf marks, etc.).
It can last up to 20 times longer than any wax or sealant. It permanently bonds to your vehicle’s surface and cannot be removed by any chemical reactions including acids, solvents, or alkalines. The only way to remove it is thru abrasion such as heavy compounding or sanding. It is also hydrophobic, in that it repels liquids due to the best paint protection “angle”. This angle also prevents dirt from sticking to your vehicle, making it easier to wash it off with water.
Ceramic Coatings is a UV protectant, as are other waxes and sealants. But what sets it apart from those others is it’s longevity. Traditional waxes last 2-3 months. If you don’t wax your vehicle that often it is being damaged by the sun after 2-3 months until your next waxing, which can cause your paint to dry out, crack, peel, and fade. This does not happen with Ceramic Coatings because it essentially lasts for the life of your vehicle. The longevity of Ceramic Coatings is what sets it apart.
Ceramic Coatings, this new generation of automotive and marine paint protection, is a more durable, harder, and slicker clear coat. They are rated a 9H on the hardness scale, which is the highest rating a paint or coating can achieve. Most factory clear coats are a 4H. This means that Ceramic Coatings withstand scratching much better with an Impact Resistance as high as 80 lbs.
These Ceramic Coatings are polymer liquids that solidify to your vehicle’s paint creating a permanent bond insulating the softer clear coat for many years to come, unlike traditional sealants or waxes. To achieve this bonding process your vehicle’s clear coat must be prepped to perfection. This entails wet sanding, compounding, claying or polishing your vehicle’s surface to get rid of imperfections. This prevents any imperfections from being permanently encapsulated on your vehicles surface. Also, any debris such as fall out, break dust, oils, waxes, and tar needs to be removed from the paint surface so the coating will bond properly to the clear coat. Thereby, protecting it from minor scratches, bird dropping, bugs, UV rays, water spots, salt, and all chemicals. Ceramic Coatings are also extremely slick and Hydrophobic. Dirt, grit, and grime will not stick to your vehicle making it much easier to wash and to keep it looking great.
We offer many different Ceramic Coatings options, from a basic single coat to multiple layers of protection, with only as much paint correction that is needed to give you the look and protection you desire. Many detailers have only one maximum price for Ceramic Coatings which has priced many people out of the market. The amount of work needed to get the vehicle prepped is extensive but depending on your vehicle’s condition and your budget we can come up with a package of options at a satisfactory price.

we recommend that at least every 4-6 months we apply a Coating Booster to your vehicle.
CERAMIC COATINGS MAINTENANCE: Even though Ceramic Coatings offer the best protection for your car’s surface they do need maintenance to keep the optimum shine, hydrophobic properties, and protection of your paint’s surface. The best way to keep your coatings in top shape is to take them through a Touchless Automatic Car Wash weekly. As hard as Ceramic Coatings are, contaminates (bugs, bird droppings, etc), can start to stick to your coatings and do some damage. We recommend Touchless Car Washes as they do not rub on and therefore are not abrasive to the coating even on a microscopic level. You would not see it on a day to day basis but over time these contaminants will inhibit the effectiveness of the coating. Causing the coating’s shine and protection to diminish as time goes on.
Besides regular washing we recommend that at least every 4-6 months we apply a Coating Booster to your vehicle. This is necessary to keep the beading and Hydrophobic properties of the coating working correctly. The Booster is a concentrated form of the coating that when applied fills in any minor abrasions to the ceramic coating. It brings back the gloss and protective beading effect of your coating to keep it looking GREAT!

Automobiles are one of our most expensive investments. Kelly Blue Book’s description of an excellent car is, “Excellent” condition means that the vehicle looks great, the paint is glossy, and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects.” The value of a vehicle can drop thousands of dollars just by its appearance. Along with the monetary value of a car we also have a personal investment in our vehicle. The vehicle you drive and how it looks is a major status symbol. Mother Nature is extremely harsh on vehicles. The sun can cause paint to fade and oxidize, giving it a chalky appearance. Rain can permanently etch the surface of a vehicle’s finish and the plastic trim can also fade. The interior is also damaged by the sun. The dash dries out, fades, and cracks along with any other vinyl or leather surface in the car. Added to this is all the abuse the interior takes from daily use.

How We Do It
Detailing your boat on a regular basis is a must, due to the saltwater that can damage the gel-coat, glass, clear plastics, vinyl, metal railings, and fixtures. Along with salt water, the sun’s rays can severely oxidize your boat’s surfaces causing it to appear chalky. If, when you run your hand over your boat’s surface it feels bumpy it is in need of a good polishing to remove the debris and fallout that was left by Mother Nature.
Once the boat is cleaned and polished it needs to be waxed. This is essential to protect your boat from many of the pollutants that can permanently harm it. Waxing is also what gives it that deep shine and wet look, making your boat stand out above the rest.
Engine cleaning is an important service for boats. It helps with their resale value and makes working on the engine much easier. For an extra fee, inboards are cleaned entirely by hand. This is the safest way to clean an engine as there is no danger of getting water in the intake. Outboards are cleaned and waxed as part of the full detail price.
The deck area is thoroughly cleaned, along with the captain’s area, and all railings and fixtures. The gauges and controls are next, with a detailed cleaning of all cracks and crevices. The vinyl seats are cleaned to perfection and than protected. All chrome and metal are polished to bring out a perfect shine. The canvas and bimini are also cleaned of all dirt and debris.
Cabin cleaning can also be performed at an extra cost. During this process all counters, seats and carpeting are cleaned and vacuumed. Any vinyl or leather is dressed and protected.

Our touchless car wash uses a two step soap application that busts through dirt and grime keeping your paint surface free of contaminants that could permanently damage your cars clear coat. The chemistry behind this dual soap process has been proven to be the safest and most efficient way of cleaning modern car finishes. We then use a high pressure rinse that blasts the debris, that the soap has lifted away from the cars surface, off the car. A polymer sealant is also applied to the paint surface to bring out the shine and protect the paint surface from further contamination.
The final rinse is a reverse osmosis spot free rinse that uses the purest water possible to remove solids that can not bee seen by the naked eye and prevent an spotting after the vehicle is fully dry. The drying process is done by multiple high power motors and high output oscillating fans that blow the water droplets from the vehicles surface as the dryer passes over your vehicle.
As you can see at no point is there any brushes that touch your car which prevents the chance of any damage or scratching to your car like conventional washing can all while cleaning and protecting your cars paint.
