At O Detail, a Stage 1 polish with a 5-year ceramic coating starts at $797 for a car.

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

PPF is a physical film that absorbs impacts from stones and debris. Ceramic coating is a liquid layer that adds gloss and makes washing easier. They solve different problems and are often done together. See PPF vs ceramic coating.

Is PPF the same as 3M or a clear bra?

Yes. PPF stands for paint protection film, and it is the newer name for the clear film many people still call 3M, after one of the best-known film brands, or a clear bra. It all means the same thing: a clear film on the front of your vehicle that takes the hit from stones so your paint does not have to.

Why does ceramic coating need a polish first?

A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirl marks. Polishing first means you protect smooth, corrected paint. That is why we only offer ceramic coating together with a polish.

Do you do windshield replacement or chip repair?

Windshield replacement and chip repair are handled by our sister company, Aztec Auto Glass.

Do you detail trucks, SUVs and minivans?

Not as separate services. All three packages clean the inside and the outside of your vehicle, and the Express Detail is the quickest way to get both done. You can add extras such as pet hair removal, steam sanitizing or headlight restoration to any package that offers them.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept card, cash and e-transfer.
