I dropped my new car with Jay — he did the whole thing himself, sent me photos the whole way, and it came back looking better than the showroom.

THE REALITY OF CAR OWNERSHIP

Stop worrying about those marks.

You've worked hard for this car, a true milestone. But keeping that perfect finish is a constant source of anxiety, especially when the industry is full of risks.

Hidden paint defects

Your "new" car likely arrived with fine swirls from transport and dealership washing. These almost invisible marks quietly ruin the perfect finish you paid for.

Constant worry

Every bird dropping, tree sap stain, or gritty wash is a new threat to your pride and joy. Instead of enjoying your car, you're constantly stressed about protecting its fragile paint.

The trust deficit

You know the dealer's "protection pack" is an overpriced shortcut. But who do you trust with your new asset? The risk of a bad job is high.

Let's inspect the paint properly and get you a clear quote in minutes.

The Elite Detail Process

Our steps to a flawless mirror finish.

A lasting, mirror-like finish is built on perfect prep work. The gloss is the easy part. It's the paint underneath that lasts. This careful process is where the magic happens.

01
Assess the paint's condition

An honest plan to achieve a flawless, lasting finish.

Most detailers guess your price over the phone. I do things differently. I check your car under special lights to see every small flaw in the paint. This means you get a real, fixed price for a perfect result, with no surprises.

  • ✓Checking paint under special lights
  • ✓Finding swirls and factory marks
  • ✓Explaining the fix your car needs
  • ✓Giving you a firm, written price
Studio-lit car, front on
02
Building the car's foundation

Work done by my own two hands, never a junior.

The amazing gloss you see isn't just from the coating. It comes from the careful work I do to the paint first. I handle the whole job myself in my studio. I permanently remove marks instead of hiding them, creating a perfect canvas for a stunning result.

  • ✓Removing iron with a special chemical wash
  • ✓Using a clay bar to make paint smooth as glass
  • ✓Machine polishing to erase all swirl marks
  • ✓Wiping every panel so it's perfectly clean
Studio-lit car, front on
03
Lock in the gloss

A hard, protective layer that makes cleaning easy.

When the paint is perfect, the last step is to protect it. I apply your chosen ceramic or graphene coating. Your car then dries overnight in my secure, clean studio. This final step is key. It allows the coating to bond with the paint for years of protection.

  • ✓Applying the coating to every panel
  • ✓Levelling the coating for a slick finish
  • ✓Letting it dry overnight in my studio
  • ✓Doing a final check before handover

Your questions answered

Straight answers to your questions.

Giving a price over the phone is just a guess. Your car’s paint is unique. I need to see it in person under special lights. This lets me give you a firm, fair price based on what your car actually needs. This way, there are no surprises for you.

I only work in my studio. Professional coatings need a super clean, dust free space to bond to the paint correctly. Doing this work in a driveway leads to poor results that won’t last. I’m not willing to take that risk with your car.

I always fix the paint first. Sealing ugly swirls under a new coating is a huge mistake. It just traps the problems. I create a perfect surface before I protect it. This makes sure the finish is flawless and will last for years.

A great job takes 1 to 2 full days. This gives me time to carefully fix the paint. It also lets the new coating dry and harden properly. Rushing the job just leads to a poor finish, and I don’t do rush jobs.

No. Dealerships often sell you a cheap sealant rather than a real ceramic coating. They apply it quickly over paint that hasn’t been fixed, which traps swirl marks. I use professional grade coatings on a perfectly prepared surface for years of real protection.

No coating is a force field. A ceramic coating adds a hard, protective layer. It helps fight against fine swirls and makes your car incredibly easy to clean. However, it won’t stop deep key scratches or rock chips.

My complete coating packages range from $1,000 to $1,900. This is a flat price that includes full interior and exterior protection. The final price depends on the type and longevity of the coating you choose. We can walk through the options during your free inspection.

Not at all. Just bring the car to me as it is. I handle everything from the initial multi-stage wash and deep chemical decontamination to the final wipe-down. My process is designed to be completely hands-off for you so you can relax.

I’ll walk you through the simple, safe-wash techniques to maintain your coating. The biggest change is how easy it becomes. Your weekend chore turns into a quick 10-minute job. For those who prefer a completely hands-off approach, I offer a maintenance detail service.

I exclusively use professional-grade, certified products from industry-leading brands I trust. This includes Magnum, Prizm, and GTechniq for coatings, Rupes for polishing equipment, and Menzerna for compounds. I’ve invested over $50,000 in tooling to ensure a perfect result.

Yes, almost always. New cars endure a long journey from the factory and are often improperly washed at the dealership. This leaves behind fine swirls and marks that are almost invisible to the naked eye. Applying a coating over these defects just seals them in. I correct these factory imperfections to create a flawless base.

Think of graphene as the next evolution of ceramic. Both offer incredible hardness, gloss, and protection. Graphene coatings typically have enhanced properties, such as better water-spot resistance and a slicker feel. We can discuss which is the best fit for your car during the inspection.

Absolutely. Every coating I apply comes with a documented, manufacturer-backed warranty of 7 or 10 years, depending on the package you choose. You’ll receive a physical warranty card and a logbook, which gives you real, tangible proof of your investment.

No, a professional coating is completely transparent. It will, however, dramatically enhance the depth, gloss, and richness of your car’s existing paint colour. It makes it look better and more vibrant than it did in the showroom.

Not at all. In fact, older cars often see the most dramatic transformations. The key is setting realistic expectations, which we’ll do during the inspection. While some very deep scratches may not be safely removed, my paint correction process can restore years of gloss and clarity, making an older car look incredible before we lock in that finish.

Yes, a large portion of my work is on EVs, particularly Teslas, BYDs, and Polestars. I’m very familiar with their notoriously soft clear coats and have specific, gentle processes to correct and protect them properly without causing any damage.

Even after the warranty expires, your paint will remain in significantly better condition than an unprotected car of the same age. You can simply bring the vehicle back for a light polish and a fresh coating application to reset the protection for the next several years.

I strongly advise against it. Automatic car washes use harsh, gritty brushes and aggressive chemicals. These will abrade the coating and drastically shorten its lifespan. The great news is, with the coating on, washing your car by hand becomes so quick and easy you’ll never want to use an automatic wash again.

Yes. Every one of my core packages is a complete, inside-and-out solution. This includes applying specialised coatings to your interior fabric, leather, and trim to protect them from spills, stains, and UV fading.

The first step is to call me to schedule a free, no-obligation paint inspection at my Clyde studio. We’ll look at your car together under the lights, I’ll give you a straight, honest assessment, and provide a firm quote on the spot with no pressure.
