Washington County · OR
Aloha is largely 1970s and 80s housing, which means older, shallower driveways and a lot of cars parked fully in the open. Sustained exposure is what turns light swirl marks into genuine oxidation over a decade. If a car here has never been corrected, expect to find more under the surface than the owner is expecting — we would rather tell you that up front than surprise you.
We're about 18 minutes away, straight down Tualatin Valley Highway to Tigard. A coating isn’t a wait-around job — the car stays with us for the full correction, application and cure, so plan on leaving it rather than sitting with it.
Don’t wash it first. Decontamination is the first thing we do anyway, and arriving dirty actually helps — we can see exactly what the paint has been through.
Detailing comes to you. Coating doesn’t.
Interior, exterior and full details we do at your home or office in Aloha. Ceramic coating is the one job worth the drive — correction needs controlled inspection lighting to see what you’re cutting, and the coating has to cure indoors and undisturbed for days.
Customers come to us from right across Washington County and the wider metro. In and around Aloha that includes:
The Process
That single fact drives the whole job. Coat over swirled paint and you have sealed the swirls in for years. So most of the work happens before any coating comes out of the bottle.
Two-bucket wash, iron and tar dissolved, then clay to pull out everything still bonded to the paint. Nothing gets polished until the surface is truly clean.
Machine polishing across multiple stages to cut out swirls, light scratches and oxidation. This is the slow part, and it is the part that decides how the finished car looks.
Graphene coating applied panel by panel — paint, glass and wheels — then levelled by hand under inspection lighting so nothing high-spots.
The coating stays indoors while it cross-links and hardens. Rushing this is how coatings fail early, so the car goes home when it is ready.
Ceramic Coating Packages
Most shops make you call for a price. Here is the range for every package — the spread covers vehicle size and how much correction the paint actually needs. Send photos and we’ll narrow it to a firm number in about a minute.

Two to four days depending on the package. Most of that is paint correction and cure time, not application — the coating needs to bond to the clear coat undisturbed before the car goes back outside.
This is the climate it earns its keep in. Nine months of rain, road film and hard water spotting are exactly what a graphene coating is built to shed. Water sheets off instead of sitting on the paint, and washing takes a fraction of the time.
Yes — a coating is not a force field. It makes washing dramatically easier and safer, because contaminants sit on top of the coating instead of bonding to your clear coat. Plan on a proper maintenance wash every few weeks.
Correction is machine polishing that removes swirls, light scratches and oxidation from the clear coat. It is the labor-intensive part. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so coating over uncorrected paint permanently seals in the defects.
Graphene-infused coatings run cooler in sun, resist water spotting better, and hold their hydrophobic behavior longer than traditional silica-only ceramics. In a wet climate that difference shows up fast.
Yes. A ceramic coating occupies a bay for multiple days, so a deposit holds your slot. It comes straight off your final bill.
