Nothing Else Comes Close
Clean Car Collective employs a range of coatings, the best of which is STEK’s 5-year graphene-infused Quartz ceramic coating, a multi-layered, transparent, liquid Nano-ceramic coating. Once fully cured, this innovative technology chemically transforms, forming a long-lasting, robust, yet flexible shield on the surface of your vehicle. This ceramic coating can be likened to an extra layer of clear coat, boasting greater protection, hardness, and self-cleaning capabilities. Better yet, STEKQuartz is backed with a 5-year manufacturer warranty!

NITA HILL2024-05-26 The Clean Car Collective (CCC) was proactive in communicating clearly beforehand about when their valet cleaner would be arriving. It was a miserable cold wet day, but he did an excellent job, both inside and out (the wheels were especially filthy). The car was spotless. He was pleasant, and proactive in explaining how long he would take. All in all, it was a really good customer experience. I would strongly recommend CCC to anyone wanting their car cleaned and valeted at home. scott hamilton2024-05-24 Max was excellent. Great communication and very easy to deal with. The car looked even better than expected and I couldn’t recommend highly enough. Hilary Oliver2024-05-24 I recently bought a used car that smelled strongly of wet dog. Harper of Clean Car Collective did a fantastic job of cleaning the interior and shampooing the upholstery. It's all clean and shiny, and smells great. 100% happy, thanks CCC, would recommend to anybody! Ketan Chhibu2024-05-19 Got an interior clean, great service and very professional.

Product
Are ceramic coatings safe for my PPF or paint?
Ceramic products are designed to be surface-friendly, and suitable for all surfaces, including paint, paint protection films, and vinyl. They won't harm your clearcoat or paint, and they won't invalidate any manufacturer warranties.
Does ceramic crack, fade, yellow or peel?
No, Ceramic coatings won't crack, peel, fade, or yellow. Ceramic coatings chemically bond to the paint, and are not able to "lift" from the surface. Car Pro's Cquartz has undergone rigorous testing and real-world trials in some of the most challenging environments consistently outperforming expectations."
Is ceramic an alternative to wax?
Yes, after applying ceramic coating, you'll never have to wax your vehicle again. Maintaining your vehicle's paint becomes as effortless as caring for your windshield or glass. No more need for abrasive washes, or additional waxes and sealants.
Will ceramic protect my car from scratches?
For the most part, no. Ceramic coatings will not resist heavy scratching and rock chips. A coating will however prevent light scratches from etching into the clear coat, so it can help to prevent light swirls and scratches.
Application
Can I apply CQuartz to my own vehicle?
No. Ceramic coatings have precise curing times in which they chemically bond to your clear coat. If miss applied, coatings can permanently etch into your clear coat and require extensive work to fix. A large amount of prep work, experience, and attention to detail is also required for the best application.
How long does the application take?
The ceramic coating process typically spans half a day to 2 days, contingent on factors like your paint's condition, vehicle size, and chosen packages. Here's an overview of the process:
- Vehicle Preparation: The first step involves thorough decontamination and preparation.
- Paint Correction: In the second step, any imperfections in the paint, such as swirls and scratches, are corrected according to the package you select.
- Surface Preparation: Once the vehicle is adequately prepped, a body shop-safe prep solvent is applied to prepare the clearcoat.
- Coating Application: At this point, the ceramic coating process commences. Ceramic is applied, leveled, and layered on each panel of the vehicle to achieve the selected package's specifications.
My car has scratches and swirls, can you still apply a coating?
Absolutely! For best results, we recommend restoring the paint's look before applying a coating to enhance the paint's clarity and gloss. Despite this, a coating can be applied to swirled and scratched paint, and will even help to level (cover up) light defects. If you are unsure of what packages are best for your vehicle, we recommend having a chat with any of our detailing specialists.
Can the service be done at my house?
Yes, our ceramic coating packages can generally be applied on-site at your premises. These may be weather-dependent, and if you have chosen a paint correction package, we may need to bring your vehicle to our shop.
Durability
Will ceramic protect me from rock chips?
No. Ceramic coatings have a silica make up, forming a "glass" layer of protection. Your paint will still be vulnerable to rock chips, such as your windshield is.
Will ceramic protect from water spots?
No, ceramic coatings can't protect from water spots, but they will give you a grace period by preventing deposited minerals (water spots) from etching into your clear coat. This extends the lifespan of various materials such as metals, paints, gel coats, plastics, and vinyls. Being a silica-based or glass-like product, ceramic coatings offer considerable resistance to water spots, more so than clearcoats. Even though windshields, which are glass surfaces, can still acquire water spots, they are significantly less susceptible when coated with ceramic.
What can ceramic be applied to?
VINYL/WRAP: Ceramic coatings safeguard your vinyl wraps against spills, stains, oil, grime, and UV damage. The flexible nature of Ceramic Pro ensures it won’t crack or peel off the vinyl. It also provides a self-cleaning effect, making vinyl maintenance simpler and reducing the need for multiple cleaning products.
GLASS: Ceramic coatings can be applied to glass surfaces, creating an effective water-repellent layer.
CHROME: For chrome or polished finishes, ceramic coatings offer excellent protection against corrosion, oxidation, and discoloration.
PAINT/PPF: Applying ceramic coating is the most effective method to protect your vehicle’s paint, significantly reducing the risk of fading over time.
CARPET/FABRIC: Ceramic coatings can be applied to vehicle upholstery, rendering it resistant to stains and spills, thus preventing expensive damage to the interior.
TRIM: Ceramic coatings prevent trim from fading due to UV damage, and staining from the oils on your skin.
Maintenance
What do I use to maintain the coating?
If you have no detailing experience, we recommend bringing the vehicle to us regularly to maintain the coating. The great thing about ceramic coatings is that they are easy to maintain, and so a quick waterless wash with quality microfibre towels can make for a great at-home solution.
Do I still need to wax after ceramic is applied?
No. Ceramic coatings are a permanent replacement for wax.
Does this product require regular maintenance?
The coating is designed to offer performance benefits throughout the stated duration, regardless of whether you maintain it or not. That being said, for maximum performance and to extend the product's life, we recommend at least one RESET service every 6 months. These are offered at a discount to our ceramic coating customers.
How long after application can I wash my vehicle?
We require the car to be kept dry for a minimum of 1 hour after application, and 24 hours for best results. Please refrain from washing your car using harsh chemicals within the first 5 days after application, to allow the coating to fully cure.
