Two choices in this industry. Both suck.
Cold, hard truth: the ceramic world only sells you two things. The cheap fake you already know is garbage, or the $2,000 leap of faith with a shop you've never met. So we built the middle. Real ceramic, thirty days, $99 (no, that is not a typo), and it rides 100% toward the full coating if you fall for us.
One car, one time. Newer cars with paint still in decent shape (we explain the why below).
The industry hands you two options. Both are a trap.
Option 1 The cheap "ceramic."
Barely dents your wallet, which is genuinely the only nice thing about it. You already know it's the spray-on stuff, not real ceramic, and it tapped out before you got home. Cheap and fake. Great combo.
Option 2 The $2,000 leap of faith.
A real shop (a shop like us) wants two grand up front, for a stranger, and now you're in a five-year relationship with a detailer you met exactly once. That's not a coating, that's an arranged marriage.
The Move Option 3 The $99 tryout.
Real ceramic on your car for 30 days for $99, and that $99 credits 100% toward the full coating later. Date us before you marry us. Wild concept, we know.
Everybody makes you pick door one or door two. Nobody builds door three, because we already know how it ends. So we built it. This porridge is just right.
What the $99 skips (on purpose, out loud)
No machine polishing.
We are not buffing your paint for six hours for $99. Nobody is. Anyone who says they are is either doing the math wrong or lying to you.
No paint correction.
We're not chasing every swirl and scratch out of the clear coat. That's the big-job stuff. This is the tryout, not the full teardown.
No thick multi-year coating.
The tryout is a lightweight 30-day sealant, not the potent stuff that lasts for years. It's the trailer, not the whole movie. Different product, fully on purpose.
We're telling you what it isn't so you never sit there wondering where the catch is. The catch is there is no catch. That's the entire bit.
How this story always ends
We'll be straight with you. This is the part where most people, after living with real ceramic for a month and actually meeting us, just book the full coating. We are not nervous about the wall of cars below. We're a little smug about it.
Real cars that rolled through our bay. Every one of them started right where yours is about to.
Fine print with zero shame: the 30-day tryout is the lightweight sealant, so it wears off in about a month by design. The forever-shine on these full builds is the real multi-year coating, with the machine polish and the thick self-healing layers. Same shop, bigger product.
What the $99 actually buys you
A real strip-down wash
The whole car comes into the bay and gets a proper deep wash, not a gas-station rinse. We start from actually clean, like adults.
Full decon (iron + clay)
We pull the embedded iron and clay-bar the junk your regular wash leaves behind. Your paint is about to feel smoother than it has any right to.
Real 30-day ceramic sealant
Actual ceramic protection you can see and feel, laid down to live on your car for about a month. Water beads, dirt slides, you drag your neighbor out to look.
An honest taste of us
A full month to see how the shine holds, how we text, how we treat your car, and whether we're your people. Zero pressure to go further.
That is a genuinely great month of protection for $99. It's just not the years-long armor, and we'd rather tell you that flat out than let you find out the hard way.
The one rule (and why it exists)
Here's the actual reason, not a gimmick. Newish paint doesn't need correction yet, so we can skip the polisher entirely and the ceramic still pops like crazy. That's the whole trick to pulling off real results at $99 instead of two grand. Older, rougher paint honestly needs the full job to look right, and we are not going to fake it for you. Tell us what you drive and we'll tell you straight whether yours is a fit.
Let's bust up what's actually stopping you
You are not scared of ceramic. You already know you want to protect your car, you know the dealership stinks, and you know the cheap stuff is fake. What you're actually scared of is picking the wrong shop and being stuck with them for years. Totally fair. So let's drag every one of those worries into the light, because the whole point of the $99 tryout is to answer them about US before you commit to anything big.
"What if they're impossible to schedule with? I'll be chasing this shop for years."
Book the tryout and find out exactly how we schedule while it costs you $99, not two thousand. If we're a nightmare to pin down, at least you learned it on the cheap month.
"What if I need them to stand behind the work later and they just ghost me?"
You get to watch how we treat people for a full month first. See whether Mark actually texts back before you bet the big money on us. (He texts back. That is sort of his entire personality.)
"What if they skip steps? Is the coating even any good, and how long does it really last?"
The tryout has real steps you can literally feel, since that decon and slick finish are hard to fake. Run your hand across the paint, then decide for yourself if we're the corner-cutting type. The full coating is where the multi-year life lives, and this is your preview of the hands doing it.
"If I buy the real coating I'm stuck with this shop for years. What if I hate them?"
That is the whole reason a 30-day trial exists. Live with the ceramic, live with us, and only sign up for the long haul if you actually like us. Nobody is trapping you into anything.
"There's a million things I'd have to research and I do not have the time."
Cool, then don't research for a month. Spend $99, live with it, and let the experience do the homework for you. Way faster than 40 browser tabs open at midnight.
This is the first date, not the marriage. Ninety-nine dollars to find out if we're your shop, zero obligation to ever go further. And if you do, that same $99 comes right off the top.
How the tryout goes, in three steps
You tap the button and tell us what you drive. Takes ten seconds and we don't ask for a dime to check. Mark looks at your car and tells you straight whether it's a fit for the tryout.
We text you and get your car into the bay. Mark reaches out (a real human, hi), you pick a time, and we do the strip-down wash, the full iron-and-clay decon, and lay down the real 30-day ceramic sealant.
You live with it for a month and decide. Enjoy the shine, judge us honestly, and if you want the years-long coating your $99 comes 100% off the price. If not, you got a great month and we got to meet you.
When you're ready for the full armor
When the month's up and you're hooked (it happens a lot), your $99 credits 100% toward the full coating. Not a coupon, not store credit, the actual $99 off the price. Our packages are X at around $1,800 and Select starting at $2,500, and these are the potent, multi-year builds with the machine polishing and paint correction the tryout deliberately skips.
This is also where the real warranty lives. The full coatings are backed and guaranteed, so you're covered instead of crossing your fingers. But notice you don't have to take our word on the guarantee, because you already spent a month watching how we actually treat you. That's a lot more honest than a warranty PDF nobody reads, and there is no bad ending here either way.
Why run it this way instead of just charging two grand up front like everyone else? Because we already know how it ends. Once you live with real ceramic and meet the shop, most of you upgrade anyway. So we skip the hard sell, let the work and the month do the talking, and say the quiet part out loud.
The "okay but seriously" questions
Take the third option nobody else is brave enough to offer.
Real ceramic. Thirty days. $99 that comes 100% off the full coating if you decide we're your shop. One car, one time, and we'll tell you straight if yours is a fit.
