Before you book
Cars must arrive clean — a $50 wash applies otherwise. Prices are estimates; every job starts with a free in-person assessment, and the assessment is the real quote.

Card 02 / 04 — The process · 1–3 days
01
LED-light paint evaluation. Every defect is mapped before we touch the car.
02
Two-stage wash plus iron and tar removal. Contamination has to go first.
03
Clay treatment pulls out embedded grit that washing can't reach.
04
Multi-stage correction. The gloss is built here — not in the bottle.
05
Panel wipe strips polishing oils so the coating bonds to bare clear coat.
06
Applied panel by panel in a controlled studio bay. No dust, no rush.
07
Infrared curing locks the coating down. Then the final LED inspection.

Card 04 / 04 — FAQ
Up to 9 years with the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra system and proper maintenance. Vancouver's rain and road salt are exactly what coatings are built to resist — the coating doesn't care about the weather, it just needs correct washing.
Yes — daily drivers benefit the most. Washing takes roughly half the time, and salt, bird droppings, and road film rinse off instead of bonding to the paint. Which is exactly why daily drivers are such a good fit for coating.
Coating is chemical, PPF is physical. A coating bonds with the clear coat against UV, oxidation, and light scratches. PPF is a urethane film that absorbs rock chips. On high-impact zones — bumper, hood edge, mirrors — we recommend stacking both.
If it has swirl marks, yes. A coating seals in whatever sits underneath it, so defects must be polished out first. The LED-light inspection at step one tells us exactly how much correction your paint needs.
By vehicle size — Standard, Big, or Large — plus any add-ons like wheels, glass, or interior protection. The sample prices on this page are estimates; a free in-person assessment gives you the exact number.
Daily drivers
Your car lives outside. It commutes in the rain, parks under trees, collects road salt all winter and bird droppings all spring. A coating doesn't make it precious — it makes it easy. Dirt releases in the rinse, washes take half the time, and the paint stops aging in dog years.
From daily drivers to weekend cruisers, the cars that gain the most from a coating are the ones that take the most punishment.
Collectors & exotics
The cars that live under covers and come out for dry Sundays. Cars finished here leave with concours-level gloss and a documented warranty — the kind of finish that photographs like glass and stays that way between details.
For collector cars it's about preservation: UV blocked, oxidation stopped, and a finish future buyers can verify.
