Maintaining your vehicle’s condition can be challenging when you need your car to get to work, take care of your kids, and run errands. While our car enthusiasts might understand the importance of investing in professional detailing, it might not be as obvious for others. Let’s dive into why detailing your vehicle matters and how Fly ‘n’ Shine offers an innovative solution to deliver convenience and vehicle expertise to your life. 

The importance of professional detailing: more than just clean 

When detailing experts deep clean your car, it entails far more than a typical car wash. Using specialized techniques and tools, detailers target every inch of your vehicle, including the neglected crevices and cracks. Maintaining your vehicle’s cleanliness gives you a better driving experience with reduced allergens, dust, and bacteria, creating better air quality. Not only does it feel amazing to step into a cleaner than clean car, but you are also investing in the longevity and preservation of your vehicle’s interior and exterior. 

Regular detailing prevents the daily wear and tear that inevitably comes from a well-used vehicle, including parts of your car that get excessive passenger interaction or are exposed to the elements, like upholstery, dashboard, engine, and wheels. Detailing can protect the exterior paint and interior finish, removing and preventing stains, odors, and imperfections. For example, vehicles with leather interiors are prone to cracking and tearing over time; when you keep up with interior detailing, you can prevent those signs of age. Professional detailing keeps a well-loved car performing at its top condition. You know the saying “when you look your best, you perform your best,” and that applies to your vehicle, too. Finally, professional detailing can increase the resale value of your car, giving you tangible proof that detailing matters.

Turn Back the Clock on Your Paint

We have what your vehicle’s paint needs.

Our Icon Rocklear Paint Protection is stronger and more resilient than traditional ceramic coatings and waxes. Whether your car is right off the lot or shows its age through paint imperfections, Icon Rocklear restores your paint with numerous benefits, including: 75x stronger than other coatings, zero maintenance, increased resale value, and 30% more brilliance than other coatings.

If you are interested in more traditional options, our Ceramic Pro Coating Services create a coating that bonds to your vehicle to provide a durable and lasting shine. The super hydrophobic effect of the coating will cause water to bead up and roll off the surface, along with any dirt and grime. This service enhances gloss depth further on all painted surfaces for the premium wet look that traditional waxes can’t match, all while protecting against the elements.

Need personalized solutions to target your vehicle’s paint damage? We got those too.

1. Paint repair and correction: From bumpers to hoods, we can fix anything! Rock chips, scratches, and chipped paint that have punctured the clear coat all qualify for our Paint Touch-Up service. 
2. Three-stage paint correction: Let us enhance your vehicle’s painted surface by utilizing multiple buffing stages to remove heavy swirls and/or scratches
3. Paint overspray removal: If your vehicle was repainted, primer or new paint overspray to another area of the vehicle is possible. We utilize a clay bar, buffing process, and a wax application to remove this and restore your vehicle’s shine. 
4. Road paint and tar removal: Using buffing and a wax application, we can remove the damage that driving through fresh paint or tar can cause.
