The distinction should be in the level of attention, material care, paint evaluation and service selection. At Lotus Detailing, we do not simply charging more because a vehicle is expensive.

Lotus services a wide range of vehicles. For unusual finishes, specialty materials, collector vehicles or specific concerns, provide the vehicle details when booking so the appropriate service can be confirmed.

Not every time. Clay treatment is most useful when bonded contamination remains after washing and the paint no longer feels clean and smooth.

Paint correction is the process of using specialized machine polishing techniques to remove imperfections from your vehicle's clear coat, including swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and holograms. The result is a smoother, glossier, and more reflective finish.

If your vehicle has visible swirl marks, fine scratches, dull paint, oxidation, or lacks the deep shine it once had, paint correction can restore its appearance. It's especially beneficial before applying a ceramic coating to ensure the best possible finish.

Paint correction can eliminate most light to moderate surface scratches and swirl marks that are contained within the clear coat. However, deep scratches that have penetrated through the clear coat into the paint may not be completely removable and may require touch-up paint or refinishing.

The time required depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint. Most paint correction services take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours, while heavily neglected vehicles or multi-stage corrections may require additional time.

Yes. Paint correction and ceramic coating are the perfect combination. Paint correction restores the finish, while a ceramic coating locks in that freshly polished look and provides long-lasting protection against UV rays, contaminants, and everyday wear.

The results can last for years when the vehicle is properly maintained. Regular hand washing, proper drying techniques, and protecting the paint with a ceramic coating or quality paint sealant will help preserve the corrected finish and minimize the return of swirl marks and scratches.

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's factory paint, creating a durable, protective layer. It enhances gloss, repels water and contaminants, and helps protect against UV rays, oxidation, bird droppings, and other environmental damage.

The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on the product used, how the vehicle is maintained, and driving conditions. Professional-grade coatings can last anywhere from 2 to 7 years with proper care, while regular maintenance helps maximize their performance.

No. While ceramic coatings make your vehicle much easier to clean by repelling water, dirt, and grime, regular washing is still necessary. The coating helps contaminants release more easily, reducing the time and effort required to maintain your vehicle.

Yes. Traditional wax typically lasts a few weeks to a few months, while a ceramic coating provides significantly longer-lasting protection. Ceramic coatings also offer superior resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and environmental contaminants while delivering a deeper, longer-lasting shine.

Ceramic coating provides a sacrificial layer that can help reduce the appearance of very light swirl marks and minor surface marring, but it is not scratch-proof. It will not prevent damage from rocks, key scratches, or other significant impacts.

For many vehicle owners, absolutely. A ceramic coating helps protect your paint, enhances your vehicle's appearance, makes maintenance easier, and can help preserve resale value by keeping the exterior looking newer for longer. It's an excellent investment for anyone who wants long-term protection and a consistently glossy finish.

No. Ceramic coating protects the surface. It does not remove existing scratches or swirls. Paint correction may be recommended before coating.

No. Ceramic coating should not be confused with paint protection film. It is not designed to absorb major physical impacts from rocks and road debris.
