• 12-month ceramic sealant application on paint and exterior trim
• Wheel wells, face, and barrels deep-cleaned and dressed

Interior:
• Deep blowout with tornador/compressed air
• Full extraction on floor mats and upholstery
• Multi-step leather cleaning and matte UV conditioner
• Non-greasy interior protection across dashboard and door cards
• Streak-free glass finish

Just wrapped up this multi-step correction and ceramic coating job to get this vehicle fully dialed in and protected.

Living around West Michigan (servicing the Oceana/Muskegon area), vehicle paint takes a beating from road salt, lake effect moisture, and industrial fallout.

Process breakdown:
• Full decontamination wash + iron remover
• Clay bar treatment
• 2-stage paint correction (cutting compound to remove heavy swirls + finishing polish for gloss)
• Panel wipe prep + ceramic coating application for long-term hydrophobic protection

I run a local mobile detailing outfit in West Michigan (Go Detail Me). Always happy to answer any questions about proper maintenance washes, coating longevity, or preventing swirl marks on softer clear coats. Let me know what you think of the finish!
