"Luis and his team are the only people I trust with my 488. They performed a full paint correction and applied a Gtechniq ceramic coating. The gloss is unbelievable. True professionals."
"After a 3-year family lease, my Range Rover was a mess. They performed a full interior detail... it looked better than the day I bought it. I was floored. They saved me on my lease return."
"I brought them my 1967 Mustang with swirled, hazy paint. They performed a full single-stage correction. The depth and color are incredible. Luis is an artist."
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer mobile detailing, or do I come to you?
All work is performed at our secure, climate-controlled La Jolla shop. We are not a mobile service. This is required for the level of quality we provide, as it gives us a contaminant-free environment for paint correction and ceramic coatings.
How long does a full detail take?
It depends on the service. A 'Pristine' Interior Detail takes 4-6 hours. A full Paint Correction and Gtechniq Ceramic Coating can take 2-3 days. We are not a 'fast' service; we are a 'perfect' service.
What's the difference between your service and a $50 car wash?
A $50 car wash uses harsh, acidic soaps and dirty materials that inflict swirls and scratches. We are paint specialists who use a pH-neutral, multi-bucket method to remove damage and preserve your paint's finish. It's the difference between protecting your investment and destroying it.
What kind of products do you use?
We are an accredited Gtechniq Ceramic Coating installer, one of the most respected brands in the world. All our chemicals, polishes, and pads are from top-tier brands like Gtechniq, Rupes, and CarPro, chosen for their safety and results.
I have a brand-new car. Does it need detailing?
Yes, this is the most critical time. 'New' cars sit at ports and dealerships, collecting contamination. They are almost always given a terrible "dealer prep" wash that installs swirls. Our New Car Protection Package is our most popular service for this reason.
