This Chevy Malibu came to us looking for a fresh start and long-term protection. 🔥

After speaking with the owner, we learned the vehicle had spent much of its life going through automatic tunnel washes. While those washes are convenient, they can leave behind swirl marks, scratches, and dull the overall appearance of the paint over time.

Before starting, we discussed realistic expectations and explained that not every scratch would be safely removable. However, our two-step paint correction process would dramatically improve the gloss, clarity, and overall appearance of the paint while creating the ideal foundation for a ceramic coating.

To ensure the best possible results, we performed a full decontamination process followed by a two-step paint correction to remove as many defects as safely possible. We then applied a 5-year ceramic coating to the paint, windows, wheels, and even the wheel barrels. To properly coat every surface, we removed all four wheels, allowing us to protect areas that are often overlooked.

The end result? A deeper gloss, improved clarity, easier maintenance, and years of protection against the elements.

If you’re considering a ceramic coating, remember that proper paint preparation is just as important as the coating itself. The better the foundation, the better the final result.

This 2026 Toyota Tundra came into the shop for a custom matte black tuxedo wrap and custom decal overlays, and the results speak for themselves. 🔥

The matte black accents give this Tundra a bold, aggressive look while creating a clean contrast that sets it apart from every other truck on the road. To finish it off, we added custom overlay decals for a unique, personalized touch.

Vinyl wraps are a great way to customize your vehicle without permanent modifications, all while helping protect the paint underneath from everyday wear and tear.

🔥 PROTECTED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM 🔥

This 2026 Jeep Cherokee came to us looking for long-term protection, and that’s exactly what it got.

✅ One-Step Paint Correction
✅ 5-Year Ceramic Coating on All Painted Surfaces
✅ 5-Year Ceramic Coating on Exterior Plastics
✅ 5-Year Undercarriage Coating

Before applying any protection, we performed a one-step paint correction to remove imperfections and maximize gloss. Once the paint was properly prepped, we locked it in with a premium 5-year ceramic coating for incredible shine, easier maintenance, and long-lasting protection.

But we didn’t stop there.

The exterior plastics were coated to help prevent fading and UV damage, while the undercarriage received our industrial-grade 5-year coating to help defend against Iowa’s harsh winters, road salt, moisture, and corrosion.

Most people protect what they can see. The smart ones protect what they can’t.

If you’re investing in a newer vehicle, protecting it now is far less expensive than trying to restore it later.

GM Black paint doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Every wash scratch, swirl mark, and imperfection shows up under the sun—and this C6 Corvette had plenty of them.

After a full two-step paint correction, we brought the paint back to the level it deserved. The deep black finish now has the clarity, depth, and reflection that made people fall in love with Corvettes in the first place.

To lock in the results, we ceramic coated the paint, wheels, windows, plastics, and tires, creating a slick, protected surface that will stay cleaner longer and be dramatically easier to maintain.

The goal wasn’t just to make it shiny.

The goal was to make someone stop scrolling.

Mission accomplished. 😎

If you’re tired of looking at swirls every time the sun hits your vehicle, let’s bring it back to life.

Another boat brought back to its best. 🌊✨

This one came in for a full interior detail to deep clean and refresh the entire cabin area, bringing back that clean, like-new feel for the season ahead.

Since this boat was previously ceramic coated by us, we also performed a proper maintenance wash designed specifically for coated surfaces — safely removing buildup without degrading the protection. To keep the coating performing at its highest level, we finished it off with a ceramic rejuvenator/top coat application to restore slickness, gloss, hydrophobic performance, and long-term durability.

Regular maintenance on ceramic-coated boats is extremely important, especially with constant exposure to UV rays, water minerals, algae, and contaminants. Proper upkeep helps maximize the lifespan and performance of the coating while keeping cleanup easier and the finish looking its absolute best.

If you’re wanting to protect your investment and keep your boat looking showroom-ready all season long, message Waters Auto Detail today for a free quote.
