One studio.
Three crafts.

/ 01

Coating

Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra (up to 9-yr warranty) and CarPro CQuartz Professional (2–10 yrs). A chemical bond with the clear coat — water sheets off, UV and oxidation are blocked, light scratches stop starting. Sample pricing from $1,699 by vehicle size.

Wheels $400 · Glass $199 · Interior $299

/ 02

Film

Paint protection film: a urethane barrier that physically absorbs rock chips. Fitted to bumpers, hood leading edges, and mirrors — stacked under coating on high-impact zones for both kinds of defense at once.

High-impact zones · Stackable

/ 03

Correction

Multi-stage machine polishing under LED inspection. Swirl marks, haze, light scratches — removed, not hidden. Required before coating when defects exist: a coating seals in whatever sits underneath.

Before you book

The fine print, up front

Cars must arrive clean — a $50 wash applies otherwise. Prices are estimates; the free in-person assessment is the real quote.

SAMPLE — sample pricing shown for illustration

The process — 1 to 3 days

Seven steps, in order.

01

Inspection

LED-light paint evaluation. Every defect mapped before we touch the car.

02

Wash & Decon

Two-stage wash, iron and tar removal. Contamination goes first.

03

Clay Bar

Embedded grit the wash can't reach. Paint should feel like glass.

04

Machine Polishing

Multi-stage correction. The gloss is built here, not in the bottle.

05

IPA Wipe-Down

Panel wipe strips oils so coating bonds to bare clear coat.

06

Coating Application

Panel by panel in a controlled bay. Level, check, move on.

07

IR Curing

Infrared curing locks it down. Final LED inspection, then handover.

Two kinds of cars

Daily drivers / collectors.

Daily drivers

Rain, road salt, parking garages, school runs. A coating makes a commuter easy to own — dirt releases in the rinse, washes take about half the time, bird droppings stop etching.

From a daily commuter to a weekend cruiser: the cars that gain the most, because they take the most punishment.

Collectors & exotics

Dry-Sunday cars under covers. Cars finished here leave with concours-level gloss and a documented warranty — glass in photos, glass in person.

For collector cars it's preservation: UV blocked, oxidation stopped, a finish the next buyer can verify.

FAQ

Short answers.

Q. How long does a coating last in Vancouver?

A. Up to 9 years with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and proper maintenance. Rain and road salt are what coatings are built to resist — bad washing shortens life, weather doesn't.

Q. Is it worth doing on a daily driver?

A. Yes — daily drivers gain the most. Washing takes roughly half the time; salt, bird droppings, and road film rinse off instead of bonding.

Q. Coating vs. PPF — what's the difference?

A. Coating is chemical, PPF is physical. Coating bonds against UV, oxidation, light scratches. PPF is urethane film against rock chips. Stack both on high-impact zones.

Q. Does the paint need correction before coating?

A. If it has swirl marks, yes. Coating seals in whatever sits underneath. The LED inspection at step one shows exactly how much correction is needed.

Q. How is the price set?

A. By vehicle size — Standard / Big / Large — plus add-ons. Sample prices above; the free in-person assessment gives the exact number.
