CERAMIC COATING FOR MILWAUKEE'S NORTH SHORE

Professional Ceramic Coating for Milwaukee's North Shore.

Protect your new vehicle with a professional ceramic coating installation completed right in your qualifying garage.

Mobile ceramic coating for new vehicles in Bayside, Fox Point, River Hills, Shorewood and Whitefish Bay.

I specialize in ceramic coating for vehicles within the last two model years. With more than 1,000 vehicles coated and nearly a decade of experience, I focus on careful preparation rather than rushing vehicles through a shop.

Choose Paint Only or Full Exterior protection, with 5-year and 8-year options. I bring the professional installation equipment to your qualifying North Shore property.

HOW MOBILE INSTALLATION WORKS

You Handle the Space. I Handle Everything Else.

There's no need for a professional detailing setup at your home. A suitable heated, fully enclosed garage with water and power is what I need to get started.

THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT
01 / 02

A Heated, Fully Enclosed Garage.

It doesn't need to be a showroom. A typical residential garage can work as long as there's enough safe working room around the vehicle and suitable indoor conditions.

✓Heat and full enclosure
✓Access to water
✓Electrical outlet
✓Space around your vehicle
WHAT I BRING
02 / 02

All the Professional Equipment.

Your garage supplies the workspace. I arrive with the tools and materials needed to complete the coating process.

Professional Inspection Lighting

Dedicated lighting for preparation and final inspection.

Polishers and Preparation Tools

Professional equipment for cleaning and polishing.

Coating and Surface Prep Products

Everything needed for your selected exterior package.

Cleanup and Removal

Equipment, applicators and used supplies leave with me.

✓

Coating is always applied indoors. The initial wash may happen outside when weather permits. No qualifying garage? My Appleton studio is available.

Full Mobile Details →
A CLEAN EXPERIENCE

Your Garage Should Look Like I Was Never There.

Other than the finished vehicle, you won't have a cleanup project afterward.

No Overspray-Style Mess

Coating is applied to the vehicle, not sprayed around the garage.

No Standing Water

Water used during preparation is managed and cleaned up.

No Product Residue

Used towels, packaging and supplies leave with me.

No Cleanup Project

The work area is left clean at the end of the appointment.

BUILT FOR WISCONSIN OWNERSHIP

Lakefront Weather, Winter Roads and Everyday Driving.

Ceramic coating adds hydrophobic behavior, chemical resistance and gloss. It makes proper washing easier, not unnecessary.

WINTERSalt + Brine

Added chemical resistance helps with routine winter contamination.

HIGHWAYBugs + Road Film

Routine contamination can release more easily during cleaning.

WATERHydrophobic Behavior

Water sheds readily, although the coating can't prevent every water spot.

ROUTINE CAREEasier Maintenance

Properly maintained coated surfaces can stay presentable longer.

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

Excellent at Certain Jobs. Not Designed to Do Everything.

Understanding the limitations helps you make the right purchasing decision.

WHERE CERAMIC COATING HELPS
Easier Washing

Normal contamination releases more easily during routine cleaning.

Hydrophobic Water Behavior

Water beads and sheds from maintained coated surfaces.

Added Chemical Resistance

An additional layer between contamination and the underlying finish.

Long-Term Gloss

Professional preparation and coating help maintain a glossy finish.

WHAT CERAMIC COATING DOES NOT DO
Prevent Rock Chips

Impact protection is the job of paint protection film.

Make Paint Scratch Proof

Improper washing and physical contact can still damage paint.

Prevent Every Water Spot

Hydrophobic behavior doesn't eliminate mineral deposits.

Eliminate Washing

Routine maintenance is still required.

BEFORE THE COATING GOES ON

A Professional Result Starts With Preparation.

The same core process applies whether the vehicle is coated at your property or my studio.

01Clean

Remove dirt and road film.

02Decontaminate

Remove bonded and iron contamination.

03Polish

Included prep polish, with optional additional correction.

04Panel Prep

Remove polishing oils and residue.

05Coat + Inspect

Install and inspect the selected coating.
