Wash
The paint has to be properly clean before anything is sealed onto it.
What it is
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to the clear coat and cures into a hard, slick layer. Water beads and runs off, dirt has a harder time sticking, and washing gets easier.
It sits on our detailing menu alongside clay bar treatments, wax and polish. Coating is quoted per vehicle because the prep depends on the condition of the paint. Send a photo or two and we'll come back with a price.

What's included
Prep before protection
Clay bar
A clay bar treatment lifts the bonded contamination a wash leaves behind.
Polish
Polishing brings the gloss up, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it.
Coat
The coating goes on last and is left to cure.

Laura Z. — 100000% recommend ! I went through so many mechanics & these guys are the BEST! Super affordable & honest! MOST IMPORTANTLY RELIABLE!! straightforward with everything , respectful and clean work!
Susan H. — My 10 year old car looks like new! C & G Mobile were professional, on time, and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates attention detail. Thank you, C&G!!!
Adam H. — They have detailed both my cars several times, and each time I’m blown away with how great the cars look when they are done! We have a big family so sometimes the inside can get pretty bad, but once they detail it everything is feeling brand new. They are friendly and courteous as well, and come out to us to do the work, which is really convenient.
Good to know
Questions, answered
A liquid polymer that bonds to the clear coat and cures into a hard, slick layer. Water beads and rolls off, and the car is easier to keep clean.
No. It is a tougher, glossier surface than bare paint, not a shield against scratches or stone chips.
It is quoted per vehicle. Size and paint condition both change the amount of prep, so ask for a free quote and you'll get a real number back.
Access to the vehicle and the keys. We bring our own equipment and products. When you book, tell us where it will be parked and whether there's a water spigot nearby, and we'll plan around it.
Yes. That's the point of having mechanics and detailers under one name. Tell us everything the car needs when you book.
