Idalou is a short drive into Lubbock, and most customers coordinate drop-off around a trip they were already making. A wax job runs $50–$150 and needs redoing every 4–8 weeks; one coating install protects continuously for 2 to 10 years depending on tier. Every install starts with a full hand wash and iron decontamination before anything else.
Idalou is one of the closest towns to our Frankford Ave shop — under 15 minutes for most residents — which makes it an easy in-and-out trip for a service that pays off for years.
A quality ceramic coating outlasts wax by years, not weeks. Where a wax job runs $50-150 and needs reapplying every 4-8 weeks, a one-time ceramic coating install protects your paint continuously for 2 to 10 years depending on the tier, with just periodic maintenance washes.
Every package includes correction — we don't coat over unaddressed paint defects, because a ceramic coating locks in whatever's underneath it permanently.
Packages start at $799 for a 2-Year Essential coating on a sedan or coupe, with 5 and 10-year options available for longer-term protection.
Call ahead and we'll get you scheduled — most Idalou customers coordinate drop-off around a normal trip into Lubbock.
We'll inspect your paint and tell you exactly what it needs — we will share current appointment availability.

Yes. Delicate Details serves Idalou drivers at our shop in south Lubbock. Confirm the service, arrival time, and pickup window before traveling; coating and correction are performed in our shop.
Ceramic coating benefits from controlled lighting, temperature, and protection from wind and dust. Our shop makes preparation, application, and inspection more consistent than working outside in changing conditions.
Timing depends on vehicle size, condition, selected scope, approved preparation, product requirements, and current workload. We confirm an expected pickup window before work begins and update you if the inspected condition changes it.
We are shop-based at 13209 Frankford Ave, Suite 4 in south Lubbock, open Mon–Fri 9am–5pm and Sat 10am–5pm. Ceramic coating benefits from stable shop conditions, including consistent lighting, temperature, and protection from West Texas wind and dust.
Coating is a multi-day job, not a drop-off and wait. Decontamination, correction, and application take a full day or more, then the coating needs overnight for its initial cure. We schedule it so you know the pickup day up front.
It is one visit that replaces years of repeat trips. A wax needs redoing every few weeks; a coating protects continuously for two to ten years depending on tier, which is exactly the math that makes the drive worthwhile.
Field dust and chemical residue settle constantly and both are harder on clear coat than ordinary road grime. Coated paint releases that material with a rinse instead of requiring contact washing every time.
