The flagship service
Ceramic
coating.
One installation. Years of protection. The single best investment you can make in your vehicle's finish — and the service this company is built on.
The argument
Wax is a season. This is years.
| Wax | Ceramic coating | |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | Weeks | Years |
| Bond | Sits on the surface | Chemically bonds to clear coat |
| Road salt | Absorbs brine film | Sheds it at the next rinse |
| Washing | Reintroduces swirls | Rinses clean, swirl-free |
| Prep work | None, applied over defects | Full decontamination first, every time |
Why ceramic
Built for this climate.
Salt & brine resistance
Wisconsin winters are chemical warfare on clear coat. Coated paint sheds brine film instead of absorbing it.
UV-stable gloss
Lake-country summers fade unprotected paint. Ceramic holds depth and color for years of sun.
Effortless washing
Contamination cannot bond to a coated surface. Washes take half the time and stop introducing swirls.
Resale value
Paint condition is the first thing a buyer or dealer sees. Coated vehicles appraise visibly better.
Marine & powersport
Gel coat hulls, pontoons, motorcycles, and UTVs all take coatings — and all clean up dramatically faster.
Chemical protection
Bug splatter, bird droppings, and tree sap etch bare paint in hours. On ceramic they sit harmlessly until the next rinse.

The process
Correct first. Then protect.
01
Decontaminate
Hand wash, iron removal, tar removal, and clay treatment strip every bonded contaminant off the paint. Nothing gets sealed under the coating.
02
Prep
The finish is inspected under detailing light and prepared until it is truly ready. The coating locks in whatever is underneath, so we make sure it is right first.
03
Coat
Professional-grade ceramic is applied panel by panel in controlled conditions, then inspected under detailing light before cure.
04
Maintain
You leave with simple aftercare guidance that keeps the coating performing for its full multi-year life.
A coating is only as good as the paint underneath it. Every Very Good Details ceramic package starts with full decontamination and careful prep, never a shortcut application over dirty paint.
Straight answers
Before you ask.
How long does a ceramic coating actually last?
Years, not weeks — that is the entire point versus wax. Exact longevity depends on the package installed, how the vehicle lives (garaged versus outside), and basic aftercare. We set that expectation precisely when we quote your vehicle.
What happens to my paint before the coating goes on?
Every installation starts with a hand wash, chemical decontamination, and clay treatment, then an inspection under detailing light. The coating only goes over clean, sound paint, never over grime.
What can be coated besides paint?
Marine gel coat, wheels, and glass all take coatings. Boats, pontoons, motorcycles, and UTVs are regular work for us in lake country.
What does it cost?
It depends on three things: vehicle size, paint condition (how much correction is needed), and the coating package. Quotes are free and specific — call or send the vehicle details and we will price it straight.
