01 — Services

What we do.

A ceramic coating and paint protection studio on Laurel Street in Vancouver. Four services, each a full process. Rain, Highway 1 road salt, Sea-to-Sky gravel, coastal salt haze — this is what Vancouver paint is up against, and this is the menu that answers it.

/ 01Ceramic Coating

Two certified systems: Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra (warrantied up to 9 years) and CarPro CQuartz Professional (2–10 years). A chemical bond with the clear coat — hydrophobics, UV and oxidation resistance, defense against the light scratches that dull daily drivers. Sample pricing from $1,699 by vehicle size. Sample add-ons: wheels $400, glass $199, interior $299.

/ 02Paint Protection Film

A urethane film that physically absorbs rock chips — the one thing a coating alone can't stop. Fitted to bumpers, hood leading edges, and mirrors, and stacked under coating on high-impact zones for chemical and physical protection together.

/ 03Paint Correction

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

/ 04Tesla Services

Coating and film tuned for Tesla's soft clear coat. Daily drivers and collector cars: full coating, glass, and wheels, turned around in 1–3 days.

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 daily drivers to weekend cruisers.

Collectors & exotics

Dry-Sunday cars under covers. Cars finished here leave with concours-level gloss and a documented warranty.

Preservation: UV blocked, oxidation stopped, a finish the next buyer can verify.

03 — FAQ & numbers

Short answers.

Q.How long does a coating last in Vancouver?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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