The process
How it is done
Correct first
A coating locks in whatever is under it, so every coating day starts with the wash, decontamination and at least a single-stage polish.
Panel wipe
Every panel wiped with a solvent so nothing sits between the paint and the coating.
Apply
ShowCar Ceramics applied by hand, one panel at a time, levelled and flashed before moving on.
Cure
The coating cures on the car for 12–24 hours. Keep it dry and out of the wash for a week.
Register
Pro and Premier are registered to your VIN with CarFax and logged for the warranty.
How long
A full day with a single-stage polish. Two days when a two-stage correction comes first.
What you get back
Water beads and slides off, road film rinses away instead of bonding, and the gloss from correction day stays for years instead of weeks. Maintenance becomes a rinse, not a scrub — which is exactly what the Shine Club is for.
Worth knowing
Ceramic Coatings, explained
The part most detailers do not bother telling you.
What a coating actually is
A liquid ceramic that cross-links into a hard, clear layer chemically bonded to the clear coat. Unlike wax, which sits on the surface and washes away in weeks, the coating becomes a sacrificial layer that takes the UV, the road film and the bird droppings instead of your paint.
Hydrophobic is the side effect, not the point
Everyone sells the beading video. What matters is that contaminants cannot key into the surface — bugs, sap, hard water and brake dust rinse off instead of etching in. Washing gets faster and safer, which means less swirling, which means the finish stays right.
Why the prep is most of the job
A coating locks in whatever is underneath it for years. Wash, decontamination, correction and panel wipe are the bulk of a coating day; the coating itself takes an hour. Anyone quoting a coating without prep is selling you a very durable layer of your own swirl marks.
Coatings are not armour
Film stops rock chips. A coating does not — it is microns thick. What it does is stop chemical etching, UV fade and clear-coat failure, and make the car far easier to keep clean. Many members do both: film on the front, coating everywhere.
Maintenance is the warranty
Warranted coatings need correct washing and an annual inspection. That is exactly what a Shine Club membership is: the maintenance schedule that keeps the coating — and the warranty — alive.

What to expect
Mobile detailing, at your house
No shop, no drop-off, nothing needed from you but a parking spot.
How it works
Book a window in the portal. We text when we are on the way. The van parks in your driveway or the office lot and the technician works around the car where it sits. You do not need to be there.
Water and power
Nothing from you. Every van carries its own fresh-water tank, a pressure washer, a generator and lighting, so we work anywhere a van can park — apartments, offices and garages included.
Time on site
A Shine Club detail runs 60–90 minutes. A Signature Detail is 3–4 hours. Correction and coating days are half a day to a full day depending on the paint. We tell you before we start.
What we bring
Water, power, ShowCar Care products, a two-bucket wash setup, a steam cleaner, a hot-water extractor, machine polishers and the coatings themselves. The only thing we use of yours is the parking spot.
What we need from you
Keys or an open car, and about two van lengths of space. Please clear personal items from the interior — we will not open bags or the glove box.
Weather
Light rain is fine for interiors and coatings under cover. Heavy weather gets rebooked, at no cost, from the portal.
Available in every ShowCar city.
