How Can We Help You?

1. What is ceramic coating and how does it protect my car?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your vehicle’s clear coat to form a durable, transparent shield. This protective layer repels water, dirt, UV rays, bird droppings, and other contaminants. It’s especially valuable in Miami, where sun, rain, and salt air accelerate paint damage. The result? A glossy, easier-to-clean vehicle with long-lasting defense against the elements.

Professional ceramic coatings typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on the formula and maintenance. In Miami, that means year-round protection against intense sunlight, humidity, and coastal contaminants. At DDautomotive, we use high-quality, proven coatings designed to withstand local conditions.

Absolutely. Miami’s climate is tough on vehicles—UV rays cause paint fading, while salty air and rain promote corrosion. Ceramic coating significantly reduces wear, helps your car stay cleaner, and extends your paint’s life. It also enhances resale value by maintaining a like-new appearance.

Not entirely, but it makes washing much easier and less frequent. The hydrophobic surface created by the coating causes dirt and water to slide off, preventing buildup. You’ll spend less time and money on upkeep—and your car will stay looking freshly detailed longer.

Ceramic coating provides light scratch resistance but won’t prevent deep scratches or rock chips. It adds a hard layer that defends against minor swirls, washing damage, and environmental fallout. For maximum protection, we recommend pairing it with clear bra (PPF) on high-impact areas.

DIY kits exist, but the results don’t compare to a professional-grade application. Surface prep is critical—any swirl marks or contaminants will be sealed under the coating. At DDautomotive, we include a full paint correction before application to ensure maximum bonding and the best finish possible.

Yes. Paint correction removes swirl marks, oxidation, and imperfections—giving you a flawless surface. Applying ceramic coating on uncorrected paint locks in those defects. That’s why we always inspect your paint and recommend correction when needed before coating.

On average, ceramic coating takes 4–6 hours depending on the vehicle size, paint condition, and whether paint correction is needed. We’ll give you a precise time estimate after inspecting your car.

Avoid washing your car for at least 5–7 days to allow full curing. After that, use pH-neutral soaps and microfiber towels. We’ll provide simple aftercare tips to help you get the most out of your investment.

Yes! We can also apply coating to wheels, glass, trim, and headlights. This adds hydrophobic protection to more parts of your vehicle—keeping it cleaner and protected from top to bottom.

At DDautomotive, we never cut corners. We use only professional-grade coatings, perform full surface prep (including paint correction), and apply the coating by hand for maximum coverage and durability. Our results aren’t just shiny—they’re long-lasting and proven in Miami’s toughest conditions.

Yes. We offer a 1-year satisfaction guarantee with every coating. If the coating fails due to installation error, we’ll reapply it at no cost. For extended warranties, ask us about multi-year packages.

1. What is paint correction and why is it important?

Paint correction is a multi-step polishing process that removes surface imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat—like swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, and water spots. It restores clarity and depth to your paint, making your car look brand new. In Miami, where the sun, salt, and humidity accelerate paint wear, paint correction is one of the most effective ways to bring back your car’s shine and protect your investment.

If your paint looks dull, has spiderweb swirls under sunlight, or feels rough to the touch, it likely needs correction. We’ll inspect your vehicle’s surface and determine whether a single-stage or multi-stage correction is best for achieving a flawless result.

Yes. Our paint correction process is done with precision and care using professional-grade equipment. We remove only a very thin layer of damaged clear coat—just enough to eliminate defects—while preserving the integrity of your paint. When done properly, it’s completely safe and transformative.

It will remove or greatly minimize light surface scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. However, deep scratches that penetrate the base coat or primer may require touch-up paint or repainting. We’ll always provide a realistic expectation before we begin.

Yes. Applying ceramic coating without correcting the paint first will lock in any visible imperfections. A properly corrected surface ensures better coating adhesion, a smoother finish, and a deeper, more uniform shine that lasts for years.

The process typically takes 3 to 6 hours depending on the level of correction required, the size of your vehicle, and its current condition. Multi-stage corrections may take longer. We’ll provide a time estimate during your initial consultation.

One-step correction removes moderate defects and enhances gloss in a single polish pass. Multi-step correction involves a compounding phase followed by polishing, which targets deeper imperfections and yields near-perfect results. We’ll recommend the right option based on your vehicle’s paint.

Yes—but it depends on the quality and thickness of the clear coat. We perform a paint inspection and thickness reading to ensure safe correction. Some repainted surfaces require extra caution, but we’re experienced with both factory and aftermarket finishes.

It will if you maintain it properly. Swirl marks often come from improper washing (e.g., automated car washes or dirty towels). We’ll guide you on how to wash and dry your car safely—or you can join our maintenance program and let us handle it for you.

Paint correction results can last 1–2 years or more, depending on how the vehicle is maintained. When paired with ceramic coating, the results are protected long-term and easier to preserve through Miami’s tough conditions.

Yes. Paint correction is effective on all colors, but it’s especially dramatic on darker finishes, which tend to show defects more clearly. No matter the color, we take extra care to deliver a mirror-like finish.

Always. Once we’re done, we walk you around the vehicle, highlight the improvements, and provide before-and-after photos when available. We want you to see—and feel—the difference.

1. What’s included in a full car detailing service?

Our full detailing service covers both interior and exterior care. On the outside, we hand wash, clay bar, decontaminate, and protect your paint with wax or sealants. Inside, we deep clean all surfaces—vacuuming carpets, shampooing upholstery, conditioning leather, and eliminating odors. Every inch of your vehicle is restored to feel and look fresh, down to the door jambs, glass, vents, and trim.

Car washes clean the surface—detailing restores and protects it. While a basic wash may remove dirt, it can also leave behind swirls and water spots. Detailing is a more thorough process using safe, paint-friendly tools and premium products that preserve your vehicle’s finish and interior condition. Our detailing gives your vehicle that just-new look and feel again.

In Miami’s hot, humid, and coastal climate, we recommend a full detail every 3–4 months to prevent long-term wear. If your car is parked outdoors or near the beach, we suggest more frequent care. To make it easier, we offer monthly maintenance plans to help keep your car in pristine condition year-round.

Absolutely. Regular detailing prevents permanent damage like clear coat failure, faded trim, or cracked leather. A clean, well-maintained car always holds more resale value and looks more attractive to buyers. It’s one of the simplest ways to protect your investment.
