Ceramic Coating in Hawthorne

The 6-month SiO2 hybrid is rated for 6 months of UV and contaminant protection, longer with regular maintenance washes. The Polish & Ceramic Coating package ($999) lays down a 3-year coat after full paint correction.

Ceramic locks in whatever is under it, so any swirl marks or oxidation get sealed in too. A clay bar ($100) is the minimum prep. A one-step ($199) or two-step ($299) polish corrects the paint first so the coat goes over a clean finish.

For a spray SiO2 hybrid, yes. We control the surface with a clay bar and decon, then coat in a shaded, dry spot. For a multi-day, multi-layer professional coating a controlled shop is better, and we'll tell you straight if that's the right call.

One-step is a single corrective stage that removes light swirls, scratches, and oxidation. Two-step adds a heavier cutting stage then a refining pass for near-perfect clarity. Two-step costs more and takes longer because it removes more.

We watch the forecast and text you the night before if rain is coming. Light coastal mist is fine because we work under your garage, carport, or any covered spot. Heavy rain gets a free reschedule to the next clear day.

No. The truck carries a 50-gallon water tank and a generator. We detail anywhere with curb access: driveway, street, office lot, or marina. You don't have to be home as long as the car is unlocked or you leave a key.

It's the starting price for a car in normal shape. Heavy pet hair, deep stains, beach sand, or extreme buildup may need an add-on or longer booking. We quote the difference before we start, never after.

Same-day or next-day appointments are typical across Hawthorne. Booking takes a small deposit to lock the slot, and we text a confirmation right after you book. Weekends near SpaceX and Three Sixty South Bay fill first, so those spots go fast.

No. The truck is self-contained with a 50-gallon water tank and generator, so we just need access to the car. Leave a key or unlock it before your shift, and we text before-and-after photos. Payment is due after you've looked it over, by cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card.

Yes. The fine brake dust and jet exhaust that settle here bond to clear coat under all-day sun and a regular wash won't pull them. We run an iron-decontamination pass that lifts that fallout; if it has already etched, we'll quote a clay bar or one-step polish before we start.
