Compare the exact installed product and written scope—not a generic lifespan claim. Delicate Details currently includes a 2–3 month paint sealant in Essential Detail, a 6-month paint sealant in Full Reset & Protect, a ceramic sealant after correction in Premium Detail, and separate installed CarPro coating tiers.
“Spray,” “sealant,” and “ceramic” are broad labels. Two products in the same category can have different preparation, application, covered surfaces, care instructions, and written terms. Storage, mileage, washing, mineral water, dust, road film, and bonded contamination also affect real-world behavior.
Essential Detail includes a 2–3 month paint sealant after a foam bath, hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, interior vacuum, and surface wipe-down. Current pricing is $195 sedan, $220 SUV, and $240 truck.
Full Reset & Protect includes condition-matched exterior decontamination and a 6-month paint sealant, plus deeper interior cleaning and compatible surface treatments. Current pricing is $350 sedan, $375 SUV, and $400 truck.
Premium Detail adds machine correction for suitable clear-coat defects before a ceramic sealant. Current pricing is $695 sedan, $795 SUV, and $895 truck. Correction results depend on paint condition, defect depth, repaint history, and safe clear-coat limits.
The separate coating menu currently lists 2-Year CarPro CQuartz SiC, 5-Year CarPro DQuartz, and 10-Year CarPro DQuartz + Gliss. Those labels identify service tiers and written terms; they are not maintenance-free guarantees or promises that every panel will perform identically until a fixed date.
Ceramic coating can make routine cleaning and residue removal easier, but it does not prevent hail dents, rock chips, every scratch, every water spot, staining, oxidation, or neglect. Paint protection film is the separate category normally compared for meaningful impact protection.

An inspection helps separate contamination from paint defects and identifies repainting, chips, etching, oxidation, or failed clear coat that a transparent sealant or coating will not hide.
We'll inspect the vehicle, confirm the current written scope and price, and explain which existing defects or condition limits matter before work is approved.
Book Now →Pre-rinse loose grit, use clean wash media and compatible wash chemistry, and dry the vehicle rather than allowing mineral water to evaporate on the surface. Follow any product-specific care instructions supplied with the service.
Wash design, maintenance, contact media, chemistry, and vehicle condition vary. Any contact process can introduce marks if grit is trapped, while strong chemistry may affect some protection products. Confirm the installed product's care instructions.
There is no universal interval. Storage, mileage, road or jobsite exposure, wash habits, contamination, and the installed product determine when cleaning, decontamination, inspection, or renewed protection fits.
Dust, mineral water, outdoor parking, insects, road film, weather, and wash habits can change surface condition. Prompt compatible cleaning and inspection are more useful than assuming one fixed service interval.
