Professional ceramic coating installation for The Orchard vehicles — condition-matched decontamination, inspection-based paint preparation, and CarPro ceramic application in a controlled shop environment. Shop at 13209 Frankford Ave in Lubbock; use live directions.
Delicate Details installs professional ceramic coatings for The Orchard vehicles, from $799 for a sedan. Three tiers: 2-Year CarPro CQuartz SiC at $799 sedan ($899 SUV, $1,099 truck), 5-Year CarPro DQuartz at $1,299 sedan, and 10-Year CarPro DQuartz + Gliss at $1,899 sedan, with SUV and truck pricing running higher across all three tiers. The shop is at 13209 Frankford Ave, Suite 4. Check live directions from The Orchard because route and travel time vary with traffic and road work. Every coating includes condition-matched decontamination and inspection-based paint preparation before application, done in a controlled shop environment rather than outdoors.
The Orchard is one of South Lubbock's newer and fastest-growing residential areas — new construction, newer vehicles, and residents who invest in their homes and what sits in the driveway. It's also one of the closest Lubbock neighborhoods to our Frankford Ave shop.
New vehicles in The Orchard are not immune to West Texas paint damage — new paint is often more vulnerable to hard water spots and swirl marks before any protection is applied. A ceramic coating installed early on a new vehicle is significantly more effective than one applied after damage has already occurred.

CarPro CQuartz SiC with condition-matched decontamination and inspection-based paint preparation. This two-year tier adds hydrophobic behavior that can make water and caliche residue easier to remove.
DQUARTZ coating system in our 5-year service tier. Condition-matched decontamination and inspection-based paint preparation are included; any deeper correction is agreed separately. Coating is not scratch-proof.
DQUARTZ finished with Gliss in our 10-year service tier. Condition-matched decontamination and inspection-based paint preparation are included; added correction is confirmed separately and written maintenance terms apply.
Lubbock's environment is harder on vehicles than most people realize.
Sun and heat contribute to long-term weathering, especially on vehicles parked outdoors. A product-specific coating can add a sacrificial, easier-to-clean surface, but it does not make paint immune to fading or clear-coat failure.
Caliche and road dust still settle on coated paint. Hydrophobic behavior may help during a thorough pre-rinse and wash, but the coating does not block grit or prevent scratches from wiping a dusty surface.
Mineral residue can still dry on coated paint and cause spotting or etching. Hydrophobic behavior can make water easier to remove, but prompt drying and safe spot treatment remain necessary.
Ferrous residue can remain bonded to an unprotected surface after ordinary washing. Ceramic coating can make routine cleanup easier, but it does not stop contamination from reaching the vehicle.
We normally reserve a full-day or overnight window for inspection, condition-matched preparation, application, and initial cure steps. Actual pickup timing depends on the vehicle, approved scope, product instructions, and shop conditions; we confirm it with the appointment.
Not automatically. A transparent coating does not hide existing defects, but polishing removes measurable material and should match the paint and desired result. We inspect the finish first, use the least aggressive effective preparation, and confirm any added correction before work begins.
SiO2 and SiC describe parts of a coating's chemistry, but the labels alone do not predict real-world performance. Compare the installed product, preparation, covered surfaces, service term, maintenance requirements, and exclusions. We explain those details for each offered tier before installation.
Follow the written pickup instructions for the coating installed on your vehicle. Cure and first-wash guidance can vary by product and conditions. If the vehicle gets wet or contaminated early, contact us before wiping or washing it.
A new vehicle can be a good coating candidate when the paint and ownership plan support it, but new paint is not automatically defect-free and every vehicle does not need the same preparation. We inspect first, explain any optional correction, and compare the written coating terms before booking.
