We come to you — coatings included

Do you really do ceramic coating at my house?

Yes. Every service we offer, including permanent ceramic coating and Liquid PPF, is done at your home, office, barn or storage yard — the vehicle never leaves your property and you never lose it to a shop for three days.

The reason most detailers will not coat outside a shop is dust and weather control. A coating cures on the panel, and anything that lands on it during that window is in it permanently.

We solve that two different ways depending on what we are coating, and both are covered below under how we control the environment. The short version is that cars go inside an enclosed bay, and vehicles too large for a bay get an aviation-grade protective layer over the curing coating instead.

What do you need from me on the day?

Just a parking space where we can work around the whole vehicle and access to it for the booked window — we are fully self-contained, with our own water tank and generator, so you do not need to supply water or power.

For a car in an enclosed bay, allow roughly a vehicle-and-a-half of space so the bay can be set up around it. A driveway, a carport pad, a flat section of yard or a marked space in a complex all work.

You do not need to be home for the whole appointment, and plenty of customers leave us to it and come back to a finished vehicle. We will need to reach you at the start and the end.

Can you work at an apartment or an HOA property?

Usually yes, but check with your HOA or property manager before you book — and where the rules do not allow vehicle cleaning on the property, we offer pickup and drop-off for $52 in nine communities around Poway so you do not have to be the one fighting it.

That is the answer for most condo and apartment residents. We collect the car, do the work where we are set up for it, and bring it back to you the same day. The $52 covers the whole round trip, not each leg.

If pickup is not available where you live, the usual workarounds are a nearby street space, a visitor lot, or doing the job at your workplace instead. Plenty of our customers have us come to the office rather than the house, which also means they are not giving up a Saturday. Tell us the situation when you book and we will work out where to set up.

Do you offer pickup and drop-off?

Yes — pickup and drop-off is $52 for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans on any service, in Poway, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Rancho Bernardo, Mira Mesa, Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Miramar Ranch North and Santee. The cash price is $50.

It exists for the customers who cannot have us on site — condo and apartment residents whose complex rules prohibit vehicle cleaning on the property, and anyone in a shared lot with no space to work in. One flat fee covers the collection and the return, not each leg.

It is also just convenient. You hand over the keys, we take the vehicle, and it comes back done. Fully insured in transit, and the same pre-existing-condition walk-around we do on site happens in front of you before we drive away.

Pickup is not available for RVs, trailers, campers or motorcycles. Those are done where they are parked.

What areas do you serve?

All of San Diego County — every incorporated city and the unincorporated communities — plus Temecula and Murrieta in south Riverside County.

That covers the coast from Oceanside down to Imperial Beach, the whole inland corridor through Escondido, Poway, Santee and El Cajon, the North County communities, and the back country out to Ramona, Julian and Borrego Springs.

The full list is on this page. If you are just outside it, call anyway — depending on the job and the day, we will often still come.

How do you coat an RV or horse trailer without a tent?

We use an aviation protective spray applied over the coating while it cures — the same approach used on private aircraft, which can only be detailed and coated out on the tarmac, because no hangar bay exists that solves the problem for a 40 ft motorhome either.

Our enclosed bays are sized for cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. An RV, a fifth wheel or a three-horse gooseneck is simply beyond what a portable bay can cover, and anyone promising you a dust-free tent over a 40-footer in a driveway is overselling.

The aviation answer is better anyway. Instead of trying to seal the environment out, you seal the coating in — the protective layer goes over the fresh Liquid PPF and Stealth Diamond and shields it through the cure.

We have been detailing and coating private jets and aircraft in Hawaii since 2019, which is where this method comes from. It is not a workaround we invented for trailers — it is how the aviation side of our business has always worked.

Is mobile detailing more expensive than a shop?

No. Our prices are the same prices a shop charges, and the mobile service is included rather than added as a call-out fee — there is no travel charge anywhere in San Diego County, Temecula or Murrieta.

The economics work because we are not paying rent on a commercial bay. That saving goes into coming to you rather than into a surcharge.

What you actually save is the half-day you would otherwise spend dropping a vehicle off, arranging a ride, and going back for it.
