What's the difference between the packages?

What happens if it rains after my coating?

Accepted Answer

David schedules around the forecast and tells you exactly how long to keep the car dry and when you can wash it.

Question 11

Does a coating stop scratches and rock chips?

Accepted Answer

No. It resists light marring, chemicals, and grime, and it makes washing easier, but it won't stop rock chips.

Question 12

How do I wash a ceramic coated car?

Accepted Answer

Use a pH-neutral soap, the 2-bucket method, and a soft towel, and avoid automatic brush washes. The Maintenance Plan takes care of this for you → /maintenance-plan

Question 13

What's the difference between 1 step and 2 step?

Accepted Answer

A 1 step polish removes about 50% of imperfections and brings back gloss. A 2 step compound and polish removes about 90%. → /paint-correction-york-pa

Question 14

Is an exterior detail included with paint correction?

Accepted Answer

No. An exterior detail is required beforehand and is priced separately, since paint has to be fully clean before it's polished.

Question 15

Can every scratch be removed?

Accepted Answer

Most clear-coat defects can be. Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail may only improve.

Question 16

What's in a full detail?

Accepted Answer

A full exterior hand wash and protectant, plus a deep interior clean: carpets, seats, mats, leather, console, vents, door panels, seat tracks, and glass. See the full list → /full-detail-york-pa
