Overview

Del Mar puts a car through two different problems depending on where it spends the day. The fairgrounds lots are open ground with no shade at all, so a car left there through a summer afternoon takes hours of unbroken sun. Down in the village it is wind off the water, salt in the air and street parking with nothing over the car at any point.

We have been family-run since 1994, with a 5.0 rating across more than 1,000 five-star reviews, and no tier is priced differently for a Del Mar address.

Ceramic Coating Del Mar

Pick against where the car actually parks. One that sits in an unshaded lot through the season is getting the hardest version of this, and it is the case where the longer tiers make the most sense.

Protect your vehicle with our mobile ceramic coating packages, delivering a long-lasting shine, superior scratch resistance, and advanced protection against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants for a cleaner, more durable finish.

Gold Ceramic Detail

This package includes a clay treatment to remove contaminants, one-step paint polishing to restore shine, and Opti-Coat Pro applied to the paint, trim, headlights, and taillights for up to five years of protection against environmental damage.

Silver Ceramic Detail

A thorough exterior detail with a clay treatment removes contaminants, followed by one-step paint polishing to enhance shine. Optimum Gloss Coat is then applied to the paint, trim, headlights, and taillights, providing a high-gloss finish and up to three years of protection.

Bronze Ceramic Detail

A clay treatment removes contaminants, followed by one-step paint polishing to prepare the surface for ceramic coating. TEC582 Ceramic Paint Protection is then applied to all painted surfaces, providing a high-gloss finish and up to one year of durable protection.

Ceramic Maintenance Wash

A foam cannon wash with deionized water ensures a spotless finish, followed by touchless blow drying to prevent streaks. Wheels are detailed, and tires dressed for a clean look. The interior receives a thorough vacuuming, with the dash, door panels, console, door jambs, and windows wiped down for a fresh, polished appearance.

Why Get a Ceramic Coating?

Long-Lasting Protection

Ceramic coatings bond directly to your car's paint and clear coat, adding a durable layer that resists marring and fine wear over time. Unlike wax that wears off in weeks, a professional ceramic coating lasts 1 to 5 years with a single application.

Hydrophobic Water Beading

A coated vehicle repels water on contact, which helps prevent water spots and makes washing faster and easier. San Diego's coastal salt air and Santa Ana winds carry fine debris that sticks to uncoated paint. The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coating shed dirt and grime before they bond to the surface.

Easy Maintenance

With a ceramic coating, dirt and grime come off with a simple pH-neutral car wash. You no longer need to reapply wax every few months. We recommend avoiding automatic car washes with abrasive brushes, as they can wear down any coating over time. Our Ceramic Mini wash is built specifically for coated vehicles.

Sun and Environmental Protection

San Diego sun fades unprotected automotive paint over time. Nano-ceramic particles block UV rays and resist damage from bird droppings and road debris, keeping your vehicle's paint looking new for years.

Mobile Window Tinting

The coating protects the paint from the sun; the glass is what lets the sun into the cabin, and on a car that spends afternoons in an open lot that is where the damage you actually feel happens.

Our mobile window tinting service brings professional installation to your location, enhancing your vehicle’s style, privacy, and protection without the need for a shop visit. We use high-quality tint films to block harmful UV rays, heat rejection, and keep your car cooler, all while giving it a sleek, polished look.

Blocks UV Rays – Protects skin and prevents interior fading
Heat Rejection– Keeps your car cooler and enhances visibility
Enhances Privacy & Security – Deters prying eyes and adds protection
Convenient Mobile Service – Professional tinting at your home or workplace

Get expert window tinting with premium results—all at your convenience.

Ceramic coating in Del Mar

A ceramic coating deals with both. It absorbs the UV that would otherwise be oxidising the clear coat, and it gives salt nothing to bond to, so a rinse clears what used to need a wash. On a car that alternates between the two, that is a genuine reduction in how often it needs attention.

We are an authorized Opti-Coat installer and we fit coatings across Del Mar, from the village and Camino Del Mar up to Del Mar Heights and across the valley towards Via de la Valle. Tiers run from one year up to five with Opti-Coat Pro.

Mobile Auto Detailing

Our mobile auto detailing service provides thorough interior and exterior cleaning at your location, ensuring your vehicle looks its best without the hassle of a shop visit. From deep cleaning to paint protection, we use professional techniques and high-quality products for a flawless finish.

Comprehensive Cleaning – Exterior wash, interior vacuuming, and surface protection
Restores Shine & Protection – Removes dirt, contaminants, and enhances paint finish
Convenient Mobile Service – Detailing at your home, office, or any location

Enjoy a spotless, well-maintained vehicle with expert mobile detailing.

Up in the Heights, down in the village

These two halves of Del Mar are different jobs, and it is worth being clear about which one you have.

Del Mar Heights. Most homes have a garage, which makes applying and curing a coating straightforward, and it also means the car is out of the salt for most of the day. Here the coating is doing UV work, and the prep stage is usually short because the paint has been protected by the garage.

The village and Camino Del Mar. Exposed streets catch a steady breeze off the water, and wind is what makes an outdoor application difficult — it dries panels unevenly and puts grit where none should be. If the car street-parks here, we will need a garage, a carport or a genuinely sheltered spot to work in.

Through the summer race and fair season, traffic in the valley is worth allowing for when you pick a slot. A morning appointment is usually the easier one.
