Ceramic Coating in Manhattan Beach

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 (from $1,399) 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 ($180) 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.

We can usually fit a 90266 job within a few days, and same-week is common. Booking is a quick text or call to Patrick, you give the address and what you want done, and we lock in a time and sort any Sand Section permit parking before we show up.

No. As long as we can reach the car and have a curbside or apron spot, you can leave for work or stay inside. The truck carries its own water and quiet generator, so we don't need your hose or outlet, and we'll text you when it's finished.

Yes, especially Strand-side. The marine layer and salt spray off the Pier etch unprotected paint over time. A ceramic coating gives the clear coat a hard shield so morning moisture and salt film rinse off clean instead of baking in, which matters most on dark cars and daily drivers.
