Good questions,
straight answers

Pricing, timing, warranties, aftercare and Ontario tint rules, gathered from the studio and organised by service.

General

How do I book?
Call or text +1 647 643 0187, message on WhatsApp, or use the Build and Quote tool on this site to draft your request. The studio confirms the price and a time before any work starts.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, debit and credit cards, and e-transfer.
Do I need to leave my car?
For most protection work, yes. Ceramic coating and PPF need the car for several hours or overnight so everything can cure properly.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes. Contact the studio to reschedule or cancel your booking.
Do you provide a warranty?
Ceramic coatings and PPF come with manufacturer warranties, and the studio stands behind its workmanship. Ask for the exact terms on the product chosen for your car.
Can you handle luxury and exotic cars?
Yes. The team works on everything from daily drivers to high-performance cars, and every car goes through the same process.

Pricing

How much does it cost?
It depends on the vehicle size, its condition and the service. The studio inspects the car and confirms the price before any work begins. Published starting prices for window tint are shown on the tint page.
Do you offer packages?
Bundled packages, such as detailing plus ceramic coating, are available. Ask the team about current options.

Location and area

Where are you?
Unit 20, 5775 Atlantic Drive, Mississauga, ON L4W 4P3, in the Atlantic Drive industrial area, a few minutes from Highway 401 and the airport.
Do you come to me?
No. All services are done at the Mississauga studio for controlled, consistent results.
Which areas do you serve?
Customers come from Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Milton, Etobicoke, Toronto, Vaughan, Caledon and across the GTA.

Ceramic Coating

How long does ceramic coating last?
Packages come in 3, 6 and 10-year options. With the right care they last the full duration.
Should I get paint correction first?
For the best result, yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath, so swirls and scratches are corrected before it goes on.
Does a coating stop stone chips?
No. It resists chemical etching, UV fade, water spots and light wash marring, but it is not thick enough to absorb chips. Pair it with paint protection film on the front end.
Can you coat wheels, glass and trim too?
Yes. Wheel faces, glass and plastic trim can be coated in the same visit.

Paint Protection Film

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical film that stops chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a liquid layer for gloss and easy cleaning. Many owners combine both: film on the front end, coating over everything.
Is the film really invisible?
Properly installed film is virtually undetectable. The car simply keeps looking factory fresh for longer.
How long does installation take?
Typically one to three days, depending on how much of the car you cover.
Can PPF be removed later?
Yes. Quality film removes cleanly with heat. It should only go over original or properly refinished paint, so repainted panels are checked first.

Window Tinting

Which tint shades are legal in Ontario?
Rear glass has no VLT limit. The front doors must give a clear view of the driver from outside, so only light shades go there (70% is recommended). Windshield rules depend on the model year. Rules are enforced at the roadside and can change.
What does VLT mean?
Visible light transmission: the percentage of light the film lets through. Lower numbers mean darker glass.
Do all three films block UV?
Yes. All three ceramic films listed on the current site block 99% of UV rays. Moving up adds heat rejection, clarity and a global manufacturer behind the film.

Paint Correction

Can paint correction fix all scratches?
It removes most surface scratches and swirl marks. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail may need touch-up paint or PPF.
One-stage or two-stage?
A one-stage polish lifts light swirls and restores gloss in about a day. A two-stage correction adds a heavier cutting step for deeper defects, then refines. The paint is inspected under the lights and you get the stage it actually needs.
Is it safe for my clear coat?
Yes, when it is measured. Paint depth is checked before and during polishing.
Do I need a coating afterwards?
It is strongly recommended, so the corrected finish stays that way.

Car Detailing

What is the difference between basic, advanced and premium?
Basic covers a thorough wash, vacuum and wipe-down. Advanced adds seat and carpet shampoo, leather conditioning and a decontamination wash outside. Premium is the full reset with steam cleaning, extraction, odour treatment, engine bay and a sealant or wax.
Do you offer mobile detailing?
No. Detailing is done in the studio on Atlantic Drive, where the lighting, water, power and extraction equipment are. You can wait, or drop the car and collect it later the same day.
Can you remove salt stains from carpet?
Yes. Salt lines come out with hot extraction and a dedicated salt remover, then the carpet is dried before handover.
Do you remove odours and pet hair?
Yes, odour elimination and deep interior cleaning are available within the detailing packages.

Custom Floor Mats

Are they made for my specific car?
Yes. They are made to the floor shape of your exact make, model and year, not trimmed from a universal blank.
Can I get rear and trunk mats?
In most cases, yes. Front, rear and cargo area sets are available for many vehicles.
Can I add mats to another appointment?
Yes. Many customers have mats fitted during a detail, coating or tint visit.

Add-on Services

What does ozone treatment do?
It breaks down stubborn smoke, pet and food odours that linger after cleaning. It runs in the empty car, which is aired out before you get back in.
Can stickers and decals be custom designed?
Yes. Custom stickers and car and truck decals can be made to your design, from small graphics to larger pieces.
