Frequently Asked
Questions.
Clarity is the ultimate luxury. Below are the details regarding our processes, longevity, and deployment capabilities.
How long does a professional ceramic coating actually last?
The longevity of a coating depends on the specific grade applied and how the asset is maintained. Our professional-grade coatings range from 1-year introductory protection up to 5+ years of severe environmental resistance. For marine and aviation assets, we use specialized formulations designed to withstand saltwater and high-altitude UV radiation, respectively.
Do I need to bring my vehicle or vessel to your studio?
No. While we have a secure, climate-controlled studio in Houston for specialized automotive projects, our Mobile Division is fully equipped to come to you. We deploy self-contained rigs with deionized water and power generation to your home, marina, or private hangar across North America.
Can you apply a ceramic coating over oxidized boat gelcoat?
No, applying a coating over oxidation will lock in the dull appearance and fail prematurely. We perform a rigorous, multi-stage oxidation removal and gelcoat correction process to restore the deep gloss of your yacht before any ceramic protection is applied.
Are your aviation detailing processes compliant with strict hangar regulations?
Absolutely. We employ specialized 'Dry Wash' techniques that utilize eco-friendly, waterless compounds to clean and correct fuselages. This ensures zero water runoff, keeping us fully compliant with strict EPA and private hangar environmental regulations.
How should I maintain my asset after it has been coated by vpDetailings?
Ceramic coatings make maintenance significantly easier, but they are not bulletproof. We recommend regular washing using pH-neutral soaps and avoiding abrasive automated car washes or harsh deck brushes. Upon project completion, we provide a customized maintenance protocol and offer ongoing maintenance plans for our clients.
