Frequently Asked Questions in Canada
From Calgary chinooks to Toronto road salt and Pacific Northwest rain, here are the answers Canadians ask about ceramic coatings, interior steam-cleaning, winter care, and on‑site mobile detailing.
Yes. A pro ceramic coating creates a hard, hydrophobic layer that resists salt, slush, and grime. In cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Winnipeg, it makes winter washes faster and reduces micro‑marring from abrasive salt film.
- Repels brine and road film so dirt rinses off easier
- UV and chemical resistance for year‑round protection
- Maintains gloss even after repeated touchless washes
Yes—weather permitting. Our vans are equipped with water, power, and interior‑safe heaters for most urban areas in BC, AB, and ON. If temperatures drop below −15°C or in heavy snow, we may re‑schedule for safety and best results.
Condo or underground parking is great—just ensure permission and clearance height.
We apply a neutralizing pre‑spray to break down salt and de‑icer minerals, agitate with soft brushes, then extract with hot water. Steam removes residue from pedals, mats, and seams. Most white rings fully disappear.
Add a fabric guard to prevent future staining through spring thaw.
Below −5°C, we recommend touchless with a proper pre‑soak to avoid freezing locks or door seals. With ceramic coating, touchless becomes far more effective. Hand washes are best in heated bays or milder days.
Ceramic resists chemical and light abrasion; PPF (paint protection film) physically absorbs impacts. For Canadian highways with sand and pea gravel, PPF on the front clip plus ceramic over the rest is the sweet spot.
Our pro coatings last 3–5 years with proper care. During winter, a pH‑neutral wash and a quarterly decon help maintain performance. We can top up slickness with a maintenance topper at mobile visits.
Absolutely. We mask sensors and charge ports, then coat paint, glass, and wheels. Ceramic prevents brown slush stains on white paints and eases snow removal from glass roofs.
Sedans typically start around $999, SUVs $1,199–$1,499 depending on paint correction level and coating system. Regional travel fees may apply for remote areas.
Yes. We register your coating application and provide care guidelines. Maintain safe wash methods and we’ll support gloss retention and hydrophobics with maintenance options.
We apply dedicated glass coatings that bead at highway speed, reducing wiper use in Vancouver rain and prairie storms. Ice scrapes off more easily in the morning.

- Winter: touchless pre‑soak, rinse, and dry to prevent icing
- Spring: decon wash to remove bonded contaminants
- Year‑round: pH‑neutral shampoo and plush towels
Typically 6–9 hours including prep and correction. We can perform in a heated garage or our studio depending on location and weather.
