This is NOT your average Cadillac. With a 6-speed manual transmission pushing 668 horsepower, this 2024 CTV-5 Blackwing edition is something truly special! At 9k miles, the car was already showing signs of road rash down the lower sides, so Paint Protection Film was applied in front of the rear wheels to protect and preserve the paint from future rock chips and damage.

PPF was also applied to the front of the hood, which had been recently repainted, courtesy of Lakes Finest Collision Center. Polishing was completed on the rest of the car, removing water spots and swirls, and a multi-year Pro coating was applied to the entire car, resulting in immense depth and incredible gloss! The owner was very impressed with how much more the car shines now, and it was a tremendous privilege to be entrusted with this awesome car!

Years in restoration mode, this stunning '69 Ford Torino Cobra is nearing completion! The body work & repaint on the car is amazing, and was just missing that meticulous refinement work to clear up sanding marks/haze, rotary holograms (very common from body shop work), and some light water spotting on the car.

2 and 3-step polishing was completed panel by panel to bring out a mirror-like clarity on this beautiful black finish. After removing any remaining polishing oils and dust, a multi-year ceramic coating was applied for an incredibly deep, glossy, slick and easy to clean hydrophobic surface! Yet another amazing classic I'm so grateful to be a small part of!

More gloss black GM paint in need of the Shining Armour touch! This 10 year-old Cadillac ATS came in for an Interior Refresh and multi-step polishing on the soft sensitive paint, removing swirls, defects and haze, and giving way to a much deeper, darker & glossy shine! Deeper defects still remain, but removing most of the defects still proves what a dramatic difference can be made!

2014 Ford Raptor SVT in for our signature cosmetic surgery, giving new life and revitalization to this sweet truck! 2 and 3-step paint correction work was completed to remove and improve swirls, defects and fading. Touch up paint was applied as needed, and the before and afters show just how much this Tuxedo Black Metallic paint benefited!

With the fresh, deep, reflective & glossy shine, a multi-year ceramic coating was applied to lock it in, while providing additional depth, gloss, insane slickness, and a hydrophobic repellant surface. This was such a fun project and turnaround!

3rd customer of the week who doesn't even live near Detroit Lakes, but still chooses to get their detailing work done here while they're in town! This customer lives in Illinois, but while visiting here this week I had the privilege to polish and ceramic coat her new BMW X3 M50, in Deep Sea Metallic! What a cool color, and even cooler accent lighting both inside and out!

A one-step polishing was completed to remove light defects, improve gloss & shine, and most importantly, deep-clean the paint, providing the cleanest surface possible for the coating to bond with.. a glass coating was applied to all the glass surfaces, and a multi-year ceramic coating was applied for years of deep gloss, shine, and ease of maintenance 😌

Another brand new vehicle. Another customer coming an hour away. And another truck where pictures just don't do it justice! This Radiant Red Tintcoat Metallic with the black accents looks absolutely incredible!

2026 Silverado 3500 HD LTZ Trail Boss received an Interior Refresh, Interior Coating applied to all seats, center console and steering wheel, 1 step (and 2 step where needed) polishing on all the paint and plastics. PPF was applied (bulk installed with wrapped edges) to the front of the hood and front corners of the fenders to protect against bug etching and rock chips, as well as the soft black door pillars. After polishing, PPF, and cleansing the paintwork, our latest long-term Ceramic Coating option was applied for years of high gloss shine and ease of maintenance.

This truck is absolutely glowing, stunning, epic, and looks even better in person! Thank you so much, Joe and Sheena, for bringing this amazing truck here!

Brand new High Country in gloss black, coming in for polishing, prep, and a multi-year ceramic coating! While I've obsessively tested dozens of coatings over the years, making sure I'm offering what truly works best, there's an equally important truth: a Ceramic Coating is only as good as the preparation underneath.

While most dealerships use lower-grade coatings & products, the biggest issue is their rushed installation process. Vehicles often aren't properly decontaminated, stripped of waxes, prepped, polished, or thoroughly inspected before the coating is applied. A coating can't hide defects: it locks them in.

At SHINING ARMOUR, every new vehicle goes through a meticulous prep process before the coating is ever opened. Proper washing, decontamination, paint inspection, polishing and refinement where needed, and careful prep & installation.. because the finish underneath determines the results you'll enjoy for years. Don't just buy a coating. Invest in the process behind it 🫡
