Frequently Asked Questions
Core Services & Expectations
-
We specialize in elite automotive surface protection and restoration. Our core services include paint correction (swirls and defect removals), ceramic coatings (long-term paint & glass protection), and window tinting (heat rejection and UV protection). Every vehicle undergoes a thorough paint inspection and clear coat analysis before any work begins (specifically for paint corrections & coating services).
-
1-Step Paint Correction: Utilizes a single polishing pad and compound combination to remove 50%-70% of light swirl marks, haze, and minor defects while dramatically enhancing paint clarity & shine.
2-Step Paint Correction: A heavy compounding phase to eliminate 80%-90%+ of deep scratches and severe defects, followed by a fine finishing polish to restore maximum depth, optical clarity, & mirror-like reflection.
-
Carbon Film: Provides a dark, matte-black finish with zero fade over time. Blocks 100% of harmful UV rays and offers moderate infrared heat rejection.
Ceramic Film: Uses nano-ceramic particles which deliver superior infrared heat rejection - blocking 98% of solar heat- without needing pitch-black darkness. Maximizes cabin comfort and optical clarity without interference of cell, GPS or satellite signals.
-
NO - no coating is completely scratch-proof. Ceramic coatings create a hard, hydrophobic sacrificial layer that drastically increases scratch resistance against light wash marring, towel marks, bird droppings, and chemical etching. Severe abrasion, rock chips, or improper washing can still damage the finish.
Logistics & Care
-
Yes, Fresh N Clean Auto Lab is fully licensed, certified and carrying comprehensive garage keepers’ insurance. Your high-value vehicle is fully protected under our care from the moment you drop-off your keys until final delivery.
-
Because most services offered require a dust free and strict temperature control, all services are performed exclusively at our dedicated facility. Drop-off and pick-ups are required at our shop location.
-
We schedule designated drop-off times to perform a joint vehicle walkthrough, inspect clear coat chemistry, and confirm your bespoke service plan. Once your vehicle has completed its service and required curing window (if applicable), we notify you for pick up via call or text.
We also review maintenance guidelines and answer any questions before you finish paying and receive your keys.
-
Ceramic coating requires a minimum of 48 hours of initial climate-controlled curing in our lab before exposure to rain or harsh elements. Full cure can take 7-14 days; during this period, avoid washing the car or using chemical cleaners.
For long-term maintenance on your coating, hand wash using neutral pH soaps, avoid automatic drive-through washes, and apply a ceramic booster sealant every 6 months (you can purchase our maintenance plans to ensure proper maintenance is upheld)
Pricing & Booking
-
Our base prices reflect standard vehicle sizes in good condition. Since every vehicle is unique, final quotes are confirmed during our initial inspection based on vehicles condition (paint condition or if previous window tint film needs to be removed) and required prep work.
Yes, a deposit is required upon scheduling to reserve your lab time and will be applied to the remaining balance. (If you do a no show or arrive more than 15 minutes late your deposit will be forfeited). All deposits are non-refundable.
-
Yes! Our Gt Quartz Ceramic Coating comes with multi-year manufacturer warranties when maintained according to our lab care protocols.
