Question 1

What is ceramic coating and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle's exterior paint that bonds to the surface and creates a hard, hydrophobic protective layer. Our Deluxe package includes a 3-year ceramic coating that protects against UV damage, water spots, and light scratches.

Question 11

What is a ceramic coating for cars?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle. It chemically bonds with the vehicle's factory paint, creating a semi-permanent layer of protection that is hydrophobic, UV resistant, and incredibly glossy.

Question 12

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

Our premium ceramic coatings last up to 3 years with proper maintenance. This is significantly longer than traditional carnauba wax or synthetic sealants which typically only last a few months.

Question 13

Does ceramic coating prevent rock chips or scratches?

Accepted Answer

While ceramic coating offers 9H hardness that helps prevent minor wash-induced swirl marks and light scratches, it does not prevent rock chips or heavy scratches. For rock chip protection, Paint Protection Film (PPF) is required.

Question 14

Is mobile ceramic coating just as good as a shop?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Matrix Mobile Details brings professional-grade equipment, lighting, and controlled processes directly to your garage in Kansas City, ensuring a flawless application without the inconvenience of leaving your car at a shop for days.

Question 15

How do I wash my car after it's coated?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is incredibly easy! We recommend hand washing with a pH-neutral soap using the two-bucket method. Avoid automatic car washes with spinning brushes, as they will scratch the coating and void its durability. Because of the hydrophobic properties, dirt will wash off effortlessly.

Question 16

What is included in the Basic Detail?

Accepted Answer

The Basic Detail is an interior-only package. It includes a deep vacuum, steam cleaning and disinfection of all surfaces, seat shampooing, leather conditioning, and interior plastics UV protection.

Question 17

Does this package include an exterior wash?

Accepted Answer

No, the Basic Detail focuses entirely on restoring the interior of the vehicle. If you want an exterior wash included, we recommend upgrading to our Standard Detail.

Question 18

What is included in the Standard Detail?

Accepted Answer

The Standard Detail includes a complete interior deep clean (steam cleaning, seat shampoo, vacuum, plastics UV protection) plus a premium exterior foam cannon hand wash, wheel/tire deep clean, and bug removal.

Question 21

What does a machine polish do?

Accepted Answer

A machine polish gently removes a microscopic layer of clear coat to eliminate light swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches, restoring a deep, mirror-like gloss to your paint.

Accepted Answer

The Deluxe Detail includes everything from our Premium package (full interior deep clean, exterior wash, iron decontamination, clay bar, machine polish) PLUS a professional 3-Year Ceramic Coating application on your paint.
