About Us

• Up front cost. While a coating provides many benefits, the upfront cost is prohibitive to some. However, when calculating a prospective clients time, energy, product expense, or the cost of having a detailer wax or seal a vehicle 2-4 times per year, the cost of a ceramic coating can be significantly less over the life of a vehicle.
• Ceramic Coatings, like any surface on a car, are susceptible to water spotting as a result of hard minerals from many water sources. Washing the vehicle in the shade, early mornings, or late in the evenings in hot climates can assist in reducing water spotting. Further, using good quality microfibre towels, a leaf blower or air compressor to help dry the vehicle quickly. Water spotting can be removed safely from most coatings but are not covered under any known coating warranty or guarantee as they are preventable.
• Ceramic coatings can still be scratched and chipped. While some coatings do provide a measurable degree of hardness vs. factory clear coat, no coating is scratch or chip proof. This is a common misconception that is regularly spread by many dealerships and even some detailers looking to make a quick sale.

• The simplest answer to this question is to wash it, then dry it completely, and take it to your detailer as needed for decontamination or maintenance. Maintenance from a detailer may consist of high-PH washing to deep clean the coating, chemical decontamination with iron removal chemicals and clay bar treatment. Addtionally, it may also include the application of maintenance products meant to reinvigorate or increase slickness, or even spot polishing and recoating of small sections in case of damage. Ask your detailer if he or she provides maintenance services prior to having them apply a coating for you.

• In our years of experience dealing with these situations we have found that with full comprehensive insurance, the cost of coating re-application can be covered under some policies. Inform your detailer as soon as possible after an accident occurs so he or she can provide an estimate for re-coating the damaged sections of vehicle so that you can submit the information to your insurance company.

• Most ceramic coating company guarantees or warranties cover re-application of the product if there is premature failure. It is best to obtain details of what is needed to maintain your warranty from your detailer prior to coating application, as most companies’ warranties vary slightly.

• Yes. Any quality detailer will treat these steps as the foundation necessary for a quality ceramic coating application. Any detailer or dealership that does not follow these steps prior to the application of a ceramic coating are likely improperly applying the coating. Even for a brand-new vehicle “off the truck”, a thorough wash, clay bar treatment and light polishing are the absolute minimum before coating application. Often times more polishing and compounding is needed, even on a brand-new vehicle, to make sure the surface is as flawless as possible before the ceramic coating is applied.

• Many factors affect the pricing of a ceramic coating, including but not limited to: • The experience, knowledge, and skills of the detailer applying the coating. • The type of coating being applied, all products are different. • The level of preparation needed prior to applying the coating. Some dealerships or detailers will skip steps altogether in order to offer a lower price. • The size, colour, and manufacturer of the vehicle can also affect pricing. Some vehicles have much softer clear coats that are harder to prepare for coating application than others.

• We recommend having any paint protection film products applied to your vehicle prior to having the ceramic coating applied. This way you have the protective properties of the film, with the added hydrophobic, self-cleaning, and UV protectant abilities of the ceramic coating. Most ceramic coatings can be applied to paint protection film, but ask the detailer applying your ceramic coating prior to your appointment about any questions you may have about film.

• When looking for a professional detailer, there are many options to consider. There is a big difference between a professional detailer that works from a home-based business and a standalone detail shop that focuses on high volume services. Superior Detail Solutions is a home-based business, and with that comes several benefits:
  1. More time spent on your vehicle. Our focus is on quality, not quantity. We spend the time to make your vehicle look amazing.
  2. Specialised services. At Superior Detail Solutions, we provide unparalleled results. We specialise in high-level ceramic coatings, paint correction, vehicle protection, and everything in between. There has been a considerable investment in products, equipment and training. We are Gtechniq accredited, meaning we are trained by factory representatives in properly applying all of their products including Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating. Most importantly, we strive towards the best standards of quality and customer service in the industry. It is crucial your detailer is competent and trained to get the best finish for your vehicle.
  3. Experience. We have over a decade of experience and know how to correctly, safely and efficiently take care of your vehicle. Training and extensive experience translates to professional and exceptional results.
  4. No frills. We invest in products and the time to make your car look amazing. There’s no gimmicks, superficiality or sales tactics. We pride ourselves on genuine, honest and authentic service.

+ A FEW POINTS TO NOTE

1. 1. Price. Although home-based detailers may have lower overhead costs, they offer the time, care and attention in completing the work themselves. The investment in quality products and professional training can incur a higher cost but, in our case, provides a higher standard and quality of work than alternative options.
   2. Availability. Some businesses focus on high-volume and quick turnaround. With our focus on providing a quality, high calibre service, we are often booked weeks in advance. This means that while we try to accommodate everyone, if you are in need of an “emergency detail” (large spill or quick wash), we may not be the best option for you. At Superior Detail Solutions, we endeavour to meet the needs of all our customers. We offer personalised service, advice and expertise. We encourage you to experience this difference by contacting us today.
