  FAQs

  • Is ceramic coating good for my car?

    Great question — and the short answer is: Yes, ceramic coating is excellent for your car, especially if you're looking to protect your paint and keep your vehicle looking its best for the long haul.


    Here’s why ceramic coating is worth it:


     Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Your Car

    1. Long-Lasting Protection

    Ceramic coating forms a semi-permanent, transparent layer over your car’s paint that resists environmental damage like:


    UV rays (prevents fading)


    Road salt and grime


    Bird droppings and bug splatter


    Acid rain and tree sap


    2. Super Hydrophobic Finish

    Water, mud, and dirt bead right off—making your car easier to clean and stay clean longer.


    3. Enhanced Shine & Gloss

    It deepens the paint’s appearance, giving your car that freshly waxed, high-gloss look for years (not weeks).


    4. Scratch & Swirl Resistance

    While it won't make your car invincible, it does help reduce the chance of light scratches and swirl marks from washing or daily driving.


    5. Increases Resale Value

    Well-maintained, shiny cars look newer and often sell for more. Ceramic coating helps keep your car in top condition.

  • How often often should I wax my car?

    Great question-


    Traditional Carnauba Wax:


    Every 6–8 weeks


    Great for a deep, warm shine, but it wears off faster—especially if your car sits in the sun or gets washed frequently.


    Synthetic Wax (Sealants):


    Every 3–6 months


    Longer-lasting protection with a slicker finish. Ideal for daily drivers or busy schedules.


    Spray Waxes or Quick Detailers:


    Every 2–4 weeks


    These are great for touch-ups between full waxes, but they’re not a replacement for a full wax job.

  • What is the best way to protect my paint from New England weather?

    Excellent question—especially for New England, where your car deals with sun, snow, road salt, rain, and everything in between. To keep your paint looking its best and avoid long-term damage, here’s the best way to protect it:


     Best Ways to Protect Your Paint in New England Weather


    1. Ceramic Coating (Top Recommendation)

    Why it’s great: Forms a long-lasting protective layer over your paint that resists UV rays, road salt, acid rain, snow, and grime.


    Benefits:


    Lasts 2–5 years


    Makes your car easier to clean


    Protects against fading, corrosion, and oxidation


    Keeps your vehicle looking shiny year-round


    Perfect for: Daily drivers, new vehicles, and people who don’t want to wax every few months


    2. High-Quality Waxing

    If you’re not ready for ceramic coating, regular waxing is still effective.


    Wax every 2–3 months in the winter for extra protection from salt and slush.


    Use a synthetic sealant for better durability than traditional wax.


    3. Paint Protection Film (PPF)

    This clear film is applied to high-impact areas like the front bumper, hood, and mirrors.


    Great for stopping rock chips and scratches.


    You can combine it with ceramic coating for full-body protection.


    4. Wash Often (Especially in Winter)

    Salt and grime can eat away at your paint if left too long.


    Rinse your car off after snowstorms or salty roads.


    Don’t forget to clean the undercarriage to prevent rust!


    5. Store or Cover Your Car (If Possible)

    If you don’t have a garage, use a breathable car cover in the winter to protect from snow, ice, and tree debris.
