Protect what you
paid for. For 8 years.

You spent $80k+ on the vehicle. Texas sun, bird droppings, and drive-through brushes are slowly destroying the paint you paid for. Ceramic coating locks it in for 3 to 8 years — fading stopped, etching repelled, swirls prevented. Paint and glass, both included.

Landon just finished detailing my 2022 Ram Limited. The truck hasn't look this good since I bought it 4 years ago. I didn't realize there were still companies that had this high level of service and professionalism still around. I know I will be using them for all my detailing and paint care going forward. Highly recommend Shelton Premium Detail.

Shelton's Premium Detail did an outstanding job on the detail of my expedition and my husbands F250! The interior of my car looks brand new again and I am so thankful for his attention to detail. I was kept informed throughout the service, and was very pleased with how professional he was while cleaning both vehicles. We will be on a maintenance schedule with him from here on out for both of our vehicles.

Honest Positioning

If you're going to keep running it through a car wash, this isn't for you.

Ceramic coating only works if you treat your vehicle right after we leave. Drive-through brushes will scratch the coating, void the warranty, and waste the $1,500 to $1,900 you just spent. We're not going to apply $1,500 of ceramic so you can run it through a tunnel wash next Saturday.

If you're not committed to hand-washing your vehicle (or having us do it for you), pass on this. Get a Standard Detail every few months — it'll save you money.

But if you want to hand the washing off entirely, look at our Maintenance Programs ($175 bi-weekly) — we hand-wash your coated vehicle every two weeks, the right way. Or bundle the whole thing — coating + maintenance + full luxury detail — into the Hands-Free Program.

For The Right Owner

Your paint is aging. Faster than you think.

Texas sun fades clear coat. Bird droppings etch into it. Bug splatter sits and bakes. Drive-through brushes leave swirls you can see in sunlight. Once the clear coat is compromised, you're looking at a $3,000+ repaint to make it right.

Ceramic coating sits on top of the clear coat as a sacrificial layer — it takes the damage so your paint doesn't have to. Three to eight years of UV resistance, chemical defense, and a finish that water sheets off instead of pooling.

Both include full paint decontamination, 2-step paint correction, and ceramic applied to paint + glass at your driveway under a controlled canopy. The difference is how long the coating lasts. (Interior detail not included — see Standard or Luxury Detail for that.)

Corrected + Coated

This is what locked-in gloss looks like.

C8 Corvette ZR1 — corrected, then sealed with ceramic. Coating doesn't add gloss on its own — it protects the gloss the correction created, and keeps it sharp for years instead of weeks.

Corrected. Coated. Sealed.

Paint corrected, glass coated, every panel sealed with 3-year or 8-year ceramic. Wash less, swirl less, watch the water bead off for years.

3 or 8-year warranty. In writing.

Your coating is backed by a real manufacturer warranty — 3 years on the 3-Year tier, 8 years on the 8-Year tier. If the coating fails within that window (loses hydrophobics, UV protection, or chemical resistance), we re-apply at no charge. Warranty card and registration handed to you on application day.

Common Questions

The questions real buyers ask.

Ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat and forms a hard, hydrophobic layer on top of it. That layer blocks UV rays (no more fading), repels water (it sheets off instead of pooling), resists bird droppings and bug splatter from etching in, and makes washing dramatically easier. It's not a wax — wax lasts a couple months. Real ceramic lasts years.
3-Year ($1,500) is the right call for daily drivers — gets you a real coating with a real warranty at the lowest upfront cost. 8-Year ($1,900) is for higher-end vehicles, garaged vehicles, or anything you plan to keep long-term. The cost per year of protection is dramatically lower on 8-Year ($238/yr vs $500/yr) — if you're keeping the car for 4+ years, 8-Year pays for itself.
Yes — but only by hand, with the two-bucket method, using a soft mitt and pH-neutral soap. Drive-through brushes will scratch the coating and void the warranty. If you don't want to deal with washing it the right way, look at our Maintenance Programs — we hand-wash your coated vehicle every two weeks ($175/visit) or every four weeks ($250/visit).
The coating itself isn't cheap — professional ceramic costs us hundreds of dollars per application. But most of the cost is labor: full paint decontamination, a real 2-step paint correction (compound + polish), and the actual application under a canopy — all takes most of a day. Glass ceramic is also bundled in (a $300 value on its own). You're not paying for a bottle; you're paying for the prep that makes the coating last 3 or 8 years.
Plan on a full day at your driveway. Prep + correction takes 4–5 hours. Coating application takes 1–2 hours plus cure time. We bring the canopy, water, power, and lighting — you just hand us the keys.
2-step paint correction is included with both coatings — compound + polish removes light-to-moderate swirls, oxidation, and restores depth. For truly deep scratches (the ones you can catch a fingernail on at multiple spots), we may recommend a full standalone Paint Correction service first. We'll tell you honestly after we inspect.
If the clear coat is still intact (no flaking, no major fading) — yes. Ceramic locks in whatever paint you have left and stops further degradation. We'll inspect first; if the clear coat is too far gone, we'll tell you straight and recommend a paint correction service instead.
Depends on how hands-off you want to be. Hands-Free ($12,000/year) bundles ceramic coating + 2-step paint correction + full luxury detail + a year of bi-weekly maintenance (26 visits + 3 reapplications) — all paid in full, zero scheduling, you never touch the car. If you're willing to hand-wash the coating yourself (or pay-as-you-go for maintenance separately), standalone ceramic at $1,500 or $1,900 is the more economical path. See the program here →
