What is a Paint Enhancement?
A Paint Enhancement is similar to a paint correction. A top-rated service for our clients, paint enhancements provide 75% defect removal while providing an amazing depth of gloss and deep color before applying waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings.
What is a Ceramic Coating?
A ceramic coating is a chemical polymer solution that is applied to most exterior surfaces. Ceramic coatings are among the strongest layers of protection available for automobile surfaces today. What makes coatings so unique is that they offer a hydrophobic layer of protection while keeping fallout from bonding to your vehicle's surfaces. Coatings chemically bond to all surfaces while creating a semi-permanent layer of protection that replaces waxes. Once applied, they offer years of protection from fallout. Coatings will NOT break down in normal conditions. They are designed to take a beating from rain, hot temperatures, snow, salt, and ice.
Even better? The staff at Dr. Detail's has attended several training courses for the application of Ceramic nano coatings -so rest assured, through proper application, your vehicle will receive many years of protection that it deserves, making it worth your investment.

How is a Ceramic Coating Different From Wax?
Wax is simply a topcoat of protection that eventually wears down after sun and chemical exposure. A True Ceramic Coating flashes into and bonds to your vehicle's surfaces. The unique characteristics of a ceramic coating are that they have an extremely high resistance to chemicals, heat, and fallout.
How Do I Wash My Ceramic Coated Car?
This is one of the most loved features of a coating! Washing the vehicle is a breeze.
You will love how easy your vehicle is to wash after a coating has been applied. Simply use pH-balanced soap to clean your vehicle. We recommend using microfiber towels to wash and dry the vehicle once or twice a month. You will see there is no more "scrubbing" debris off. It's a breeze!
