Professional ceramic coating applied on-site: full decontamination, paint prep, and a hydrophobic coating that keeps your paint glossy and protected for years — $500–$1,200 depending on coating durability and vehicle size.
Why drivers in Manhattan book ceramic coating
For garaged Manhattan cars, ceramic coating keeps a high-value finish easy to maintain: grime and salt have a harder time bonding and routine washes go much faster. Coating needs a covered, dry space — exactly what most Manhattan garages provide. Just check with management first; we can send them our COI.
What's included
- Full decontamination wash
- Paint prep so the coating bonds properly
- Ceramic coating — 1 to 5-year durability options
- Hydrophobic, self-cleaning effect: water and grime bead off
- UV and oxidation protection
- Aftercare instructions for the first weeks
How the appointment works
1. Inspection and options. We check the paint and help you pick the right durability (1–5 years). Your exact price is confirmed before booking.
2. Decontamination. Hand wash plus decontamination to remove bonded grime so the paint is truly clean.
3. Paint prep. Surfaces are prepped for bonding. If the paint needs polishing first, we quote that separately — no surprises.
4. Coating and cure. Coating applied panel by panel in a covered space, then we walk you through aftercare.
Typical time: a longer appointment — we confirm the time window with your quote.
Price in Manhattan

Where we work in Manhattan
Most cars in Manhattan live in a garage, a building lot, or a hard-won street spot. Driving one to a detail shop and waiting half a day rarely makes sense. We bring the detail to wherever the car already is — a residential garage on the Upper East Side, an office garage in Midtown, or the curb outside your building.
- Garage-friendly: Tell us the garage and any rules. We coordinate access and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) if management asks.
- Office appointments: Have the car detailed in your office garage while you work — it's ready before you head home.
- Street parking: We schedule around alternate-side parking and meters on your block.
Neighborhoods: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Hudson Yards, Murray Hill, Gramercy, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Financial District, Battery Park City, Lower East Side, Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood — and everywhere else in Manhattan. See the full Manhattan detailing page.
