High-quality tints maintain clarity while reducing glare—no compromise on safety.

Will tinting make my car cooler?

Frequently Ask Questions

Paint Correction
Questions

What is paint correction?

A process of removing swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation using polishing/compounding to restore a flawless, glossy finish.

Does it remove all scratches?

Only defects within the clear coat—deep scratches may require touch-up or repainting.

How long does it take?

Typically 1–3 days, depending on paint condition and vehicle size.

Will it damage my paint?

No, when done correctly by professionals using proper techniques and tools.

Is it the same as waxing?

No, waxing adds protection; correction removes imperfections before protection is applied.

How often should I do it?

Ideally once every few years, depending on maintenance and paint wear.

Frequently Ask Questions

Paint Protection Questions

What types of Paint Protection do you offer?

A liquid-applied protective layer (ceramic coating, sealant, or wax) that shields paint from UV rays, oxidation, and contaminants

How long does it last?

Varies by product—ceramic coatings (2-5+ years), sealants (6-12 months), waxes (1-3 months).

Does it prevent scratches?

Adds scratch resistance but won’t stop deep scratches.

Can it be applied to any car?

Yes, if paint is in good condition (requires prep like polishing).

How is it different from wax?

More durable, hydrophobic, and longer-lasting than traditional wax.

Will it make my car shine?

Yes, enhances gloss and maintains a showroom finish.

Is it safe for matte paint?

Only with matte-specific coatings to avoid glossiness.

How do I maintain it?

Use pH-neutral soaps; avoid harsh chemicals or automatic car washes.

Can I apply it myself?

DIY kits exist, but professional application ensures best results.

Frequently Ask Questions

Leather Protection
Questions

What does leather protection do?

Shields against stains, UV damage, cracking, and fading while keeping leather soft and easy to clean.

How long does it last?

Typically 6–24 months, depending on product quality (e.g., ceramic coatings last longer than sprays).

Can it repair existing damage?

No—it prevents future damage. Existing cracks/scuffs may require leather repair first.

Is it safe for all leather types?

Yes (aniline, semi-aniline, coated), but always test a small area first.

Will it make my seats slippery?

No—high-quality products absorb without leaving a greasy residue.

How often should I reapply?

Every 1–2 years for coatings; sprays may need reapplication every 6 months.

Can I apply it myself?

Yes (DIY kits exist), but professional application ensures even coverage and durability.

Does it protect against spills?

Yes—creates a hydrophobic barrier to repel liquids and prevent stains.

How do I maintain protected leather?

Use pH-balanced leather cleaners; avoid alcohol-based wipes or harsh chemicals.

Is it cheaper than buying new headlights?
