Metallized Window Tint

Metallized tint generally offers better heat rejection than dyed film but may interfere with electronic signals, unlike ceramic tint.

Full Front-End PPF Package

Full Front-End Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, durable polyurethane film applied to the front sections of your vehicle—typically including the hood, front bumper, fenders, side mirrors, and headlights—to protect the paint from chips, scratches, road debris, and environmental damage.

A standard full front-end PPF package usually includes:
  • Full hood

Yes, you can wash your car normally after the headlight protection film has been applied. However, it is recommended to avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the film for the first 24 to 48 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

Standard Detail

A standard car detailing usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the condition of the vehicle. Factors like the size of the car and the level of dirt or debris inside and outside can affect the time required.

If your car is heavily soiled or has stains, a standard detailing may not be sufficient. For more intensive cleaning, you might consider our premium or exclusive detailing service, which includes more specialized cleaning methods like deep upholstery cleaning and engine bay cleaning.

It depends on how often you use your car and the conditions it's exposed to. A standard detailing is recommended every 3-6 months to maintain cleanliness, but if you drive in harsher conditions or have pets, you may want to consider more frequent detailing.

Standard detailing will clean and polish the exterior, helping to remove minor surface contaminants and making the paint look fresher. However, it does not typically remove deep scratches or imperfections. For that, you would need a paint correction or a full detailing package.

Premium Detail

Depending on the vehicle's size and condition, it usually takes 4 to 8 hours. We prioritize quality over speed to ensure a flawless finish.

For optimal upkeep, we recommend detailing every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage, storage conditions, and weather exposure.

You can book online, call us directly, or message us. We recommend booking in advance due to high demand.
