A full detail typically runs 2–6+ hours depending on vehicle size, condition, and package level. High-end interior or correction services can extend to 4–8 hours.
-
Yes. We’re fully self-contained—water, power, and pro tools—so we can detail at homes, offices, and garages as long as property rules allow access.
-
Usually, yes—just check property rules first. Some communities control parking/onsite services; if needed, we can work in guest parking or schedule at your work place even drop off and leave your vehicle with me.
-
We plan around it. Florida’s UV is “Very High–Extreme” much of the year, so we prefer shade/indoor work, DI/spot-free rinses, and product systems designed to avoid hot-panel streaking.
-
DI removes the minerals that cause water spots, so your finish dries clean—even in sun/heat—and it reduces the need to towel-touch the paint.
-
Yes—New Port Richey, Hudson, Trinity, Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Tampa, St. Pete, Lutz, are standard. We travel for premium/recurring clients outside this area; minimums may apply.
-
Not required. If we have access to the vehicle (driveway/garage and keys), we can service while you’re out. We text before/after photos and a digital receipt when finished.
-
We watch the radar. Interiors proceed regardless. For exterior work in bad weather, we reschedule at no fee to protect results.
-
Veteran-owned, Garagekeepers insured, and COI available on request. We offer discreet concierge service and can provide an NDA for high-profile clients.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Looking for ceramic coating in Tampa Bay? A professional coating is a transparent, semi-permanent layer that chemically bonds to your clear coat. It creates a slick, ultra-hydrophobic surface that resists UV, road film, and pollution—so washes are faster, gloss is deeper, and the finish stays newer, longer. It isn’t a force field (that’s what paint protection film is for), but it reduces wash-induced micro-marring and makes maintenance effortless.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
The Science (plain English, pro results)
Modern coatings use advanced ceramic chemistry (SiO₂ / polysilazane). During application on properly prepped paint, the chemistry cross-links into a dense, glass-like network that anchors to your clear coat. That network:
Lowers surface energy so water beads/sheets off (the “lotus effect”), taking dirt with it.
Adds UV and chemical resistance to slow oxidation, fading, and staining.
Increases slickness, reducing friction during washing and helping prevent fine swirls.
How it compares:
Wax: weeks to a few months.
Synthetic sealant: ~2–6 months.
Ceramic coating: multi-year durability with proper wash technique and simple maintenance toppers.
Why Ceramic Coating Matters in Florida
Tampa Bay is gorgeous—and tough on paint. A coating is the smart way to stay ahead of the climate:
Relentless UV & heat accelerate clear-coat oxidation. Coatings add a UV-resistant, heat-tolerant layer that slows the process.
Salt air & coastal humidity cling to paint and corrode finishes. Hydrophobic coatings shed contamination more easily, making rinses safer and quicker.
Sudden showers & sprinklers leave mineral spots on hot panels. Low surface energy helps water release, reducing spotting and simplifying post-rain wipe-downs.
Lovebug seasons can etch if residue bakes in the sun—coatings buy you time and make safe removal easier.
Year-round driving means more wash cycles; coated vehicles clean faster, dry cleaner, and stay glossier between visits.
Paint correction is a precision leveling of your clear coat with ultra-fine abrasives. Swirls and scratches are tiny V-shaped valleys that catch light. We don’t “fill” them—we remove a controlled microlayer of clear so the surrounding surface is flatter and the defect’s hard edges are rounded, making it optically disappear or diminish. The result is higher clarity, deeper color, and crisp reflections.
What Is Paint Correction?
-
Goal: Big gloss jump with efficient defect removal.
Process: Single polishing stage (pad + polish) selected to balance cut and finish.
Result: Commonly up to ~50% visible defect removal with a rich, wet gloss—ideal for newer cars or well-kept daily drivers.
Timeframe: Often a half-day service depending on size/condition.
Best Pairing: Sealant or entry ceramic for durability.
-
Goal: Correct most wash marring and moderate defects while finishing crisp.
Process: One cutting stage to level defects, followed by a finishing polish to maximize clarity.
Result: Typically ~80–90% improvement in most paints; deep RIDS may remain softened and far less visible.
Timeframe: Usually a full-day service (vehicle & condition dependent).
Best Pairing: Professional ceramic coating to lock in the finish.
-
Goal: Chase near-perfect paint for a show-car look.
Process: Heavy cut where safe, an intermediate refinement, then a final jeweling polish. Localized wet sanding may be used on isolated defects if paint depth allows.
Result: Frequently ~90–95%+ correction with mirror-like depth and ultra-sharp reflections.
Timeframe: 1–2 days on many vehicles.
Best Pairing: Multi-year ceramic and meticulous wash care.
