Two thirds of the work happens before any coating goes on.
A coating only looks as good as the paint under it, so most of your car’s time in the bay is spent getting the paint right.

Decontamination
Hand wash, iron fallout remover and clay bar. Every bonded particle comes off.
- 024 to 10 hours
Paint correction
One to three machine polishing stages remove swirls, haze and light scratches.
- 031 hour
Panel prep

Coating or film? Most people need one, some need both.
Film stops chips. Coating keeps it glossy and easy to wash. If you drive the freeway every day, film the front and coat the rest.

A coating needs very little, but it does need the right wash. We make that easy, and we check it once a year as part of your warranty.
- Week 1
Let it cure
No washing for seven days. Rain is fine. Wipe off bird droppings with water and a soft cloth.
- Every 2 weeks
A gentle wash
pH-neutral shampoo and a soft mitt. Skip automatic brush washes, touchless is fine.
- Every year
Free check-up
A 30-minute look at the coating, readings retaken and a top-up where it needs one.

“Three years in and my black Model 3 still beads like day one. They showed me the gloss readings before and after, which I have never seen anyone else do.”

Signature carries a 3-year written warranty, with a check-up each year.
Front film · Honda CR-V
“The film on the front is invisible. I drive the 5 to LA twice a week and there is not a single chip on the hood.”
Essential · Mazda CX-50 · from $390
“They talked me out of the most expensive package because my car is three months old. Honest, careful, and the car looks incredible.”

Tell us about your car. Jess or Omar replies within one business day and books a 20-minute inspection at the studio.
How long does a coating last?
Our coatings carry 1, 3 or 5-year written warranties, as long as the car gets a pH-neutral wash and a yearly check-up.
How long will you have my car?
One to two days for most coatings and two to three for front film, including an overnight cure indoors.
Will it hide scratches?
Polishing removes light swirls and scratches before the coating goes on. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail need paint work, and we will tell you at the inspection.
Can I wash it myself afterwards?
Yes. Wait seven days, then use a pH-neutral shampoo and a soft mitt. Skip automatic brush washes.
