GEN 2 Paint correction/Ceramic coating in NoVa

[Wes H]

Anyone have any recommendations in the Northern Virginia/DC area for a full body paint correction and ceramic coating?

I got a quote a few months ago for like $3000+ from one place but wanted to check if you all had any recommendations.

I have heard good things about them and am looking for PC+ceramic coating as well. Not sure how they are on pricing.

How much paint correction do you think you need done? I have a 2020 and would like to get ceramic coated. If you call them, do you mind sharing the quote they give you?

I emailed them to ask for a ball park estimate . . . we'll see where that goes. If I have to call them I will . . .

I would say a moderate amount . . . nothing crazy, like it is in decent shape, but could definitely use a touch up in some areas.

I will absolutely share what I find out.

Update . . . I got a response from APS in Fairfax and they quoted me for $1699.95. I told them I'd need a moderate amount of paint correction, as well as the ceramic coating.

This is their full response:

Ceramic Coating:
In order to achieve a stunning Ceramic Coating application, several steps must all be undertaken with great care. The painted surfaces of your vehicle must be properly prepared to receive the coating. The coating itself must be of the highest quality, both in terms of appearance and durability. The application of the coating must be performed by a true professional who will render the highest quality outcome. Finally, the room in which the coating is applied must be clean and very well lighted. To this end - ceramic coatings at APS in Fairfax Virginia are performed to the highest standards by the most highly skilled detailer in the area in a cleanroom using a premier product IGL's Kenzo (the only ceramic coating with a 10H rating).
The first step is to thoroughly chemically clean the vehicle, remove all the tar, road grime, bugs. Then we use a clay bar and remove any embedded impurities in the clear coat of your paint. Next is a single-stage paint correction - remove any micro-scratches, swirl marks, or spider webbing and begin to restore the shine in your car or truck's paint finish. Then we'll apply the ceramic coating, Kenzo, by IGL. Full cures to 10H hardness. Super Hydrophobic properties and improved formulation to increase the resistance of water spotting on Kenzo coated vehicles warranted gloss retention for 5 years. 100% silica content, 0% solvent creating a thick film build. First coating to provide a texture similar to soft luxurious silk.
Top it off with dressing on your trim, and wheels, and crystal clear glass. The price for this service is $1699.95. -

That seems pretty decent for a full detail PC and ceramic coating. If you end up getting it done post pics!
