The Service

Correction first. Coating second. In that order.

Most ceramic jobs skip the correction step — that’s why most coated cars still show swirls in direct sun. A coating is a clear lens; it amplifies whatever’s beneath.

We level the clear coat first, then apply ceramic panel-by-panel in a controlled environment, then cure 24–72 hours.

How We Work

A repeatable process — not a guess.

Same approach every job. The order matters: rush a step or skip prep, the finish never recovers. Below is the actual sequence we follow on every Correction + Ceramic job in Orlando.

Done at your driveway with our own water and power. You don’t need to do anything but unlock the gate.

01

Decon + measure

Foam wash, iron remover, clay bar, IPA wipe. Paint thickness gauge per panel before we touch a machine.

02

Multi-stage correction

Compound pass to level defects, polishing pass to remove haze, finishing pass to maximize gloss.

03

Final wipe + bond prep

Panel wipe with IPA to remove all polishing oils so the coating bonds to bare clear coat.

04

Coating application

Panel-by-panel application and microfiber leveling in dust-controlled space.

05

Cure + delivery

24–72 hours cure. Final LED inspection. Handover with care kit and warranty paperwork.

FAQ

Ceramic Coat + Paint Correction Questions.

Everything Orlando car owners ask about correction + ceramic — honest answers, no upsell.

Why correct before coating?

A coating is essentially a clear lens that magnifies whatever's underneath. Coat over swirls and you preserve the swirls for years. Correct first, then coat — that's the only way the finish looks right.

How long does the whole job take?

2–3 days. The correction is a full day or two. Coating goes on day two or three, then cures 24–72 hours.

Is this cheaper than booking them separately?

Yes. We bundle decon and prep, so you pay once for the foundation work instead of twice.

What if my paint is already perfect?

Then you only need a single-stage polish before coating — quote drops accordingly. Most cars over 6 months old have visible defects in direct sun.

How long does the coating last?

Our 5-year warranty assumes proper care. Real-world durability with regular pH-neutral washing: 5+ years.

Do you do this on exotics?

Yes. We've coated Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren, Ferrari. The process is the same — the patience and product selection scale with the paint.

How much does paint correction plus ceramic coating cost together in Orlando?

Bundled together starts at $999 for single-stage correction plus 2–3 year ceramic. Premium (multi-stage correction + 5-year coating) runs $1,499–$2,499. Elite (full multi-stage + 7+ year coating + wheel and glass coating) starts at $2,999. Bundles save 15–25% vs booking separately.

Why should I get correction and ceramic done together?

Coating locks in whatever finish is underneath. Correcting first then coating means you preserve a flawless finish for years. Doing them separately later means re-prepping the paint, which costs more. The bundle is the most cost-efficient way to maximize protection and gloss.

How long does the combined correction plus ceramic job take?

Typical timeline is 2–3 days. Day 1: decontamination wash and correction. Day 2: panel-by-panel ceramic application. Day 3: cure period (24–72 hours). We coordinate weather windows for ceramic application to ensure proper cure quality.

Can you do correction and ceramic on a Lamborghini or other exotic?

Yes — and we do regularly. Exotic paint finishes (matte clear, candy paint, carbon-trim panels) require specific technique. We use exotic-rated pads, lower polisher speeds, and finer compounds. Quote depends on exact car and condition.

Is Drip Mobile Detailing insured?

Yes. Drip Mobile Detailing carries full general liability insurance and is bonded. We provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) on request — required by some gated communities, HOAs, marinas, and commercial fleet contracts in Orlando.

Do you bring your own water and power?

Yes. We are fully self-contained. We arrive with our own water tank, water-recovery system, generator, and all detailing products. You don't need to provide a hose, an outlet, or anything else — just a parking spot. We can detail in driveways, condos, parking garages, and gated communities.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, and cash. Invoices are sent on completion. For commercial fleet contracts and ceramic coating jobs, we also accept ACH and bank wire.

How far in advance should I book?

Most Orlando appointments are booked 2–5 days out. We often have same-day or next-day availability for standard washes and exterior details. Ceramic coatings and multi-day paint correction jobs typically require 7–10 days lead time so we can schedule the right weather window.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. If you're not satisfied with any part of the detail, we'll come back and re-do it free of charge — typically within 24–48 hours. Ceramic coatings carry manufacturer warranties (5–10 years depending on product) tied to your VIN and registered to your name.

Do you detail in the rain or heat?

We work year-round in Orlando. Light rain doesn't stop us — we set up portable canopies. Heavy rain or thunderstorms get rescheduled at no charge. We schedule ceramic coatings and paint correction during low-humidity windows, often early morning, to maximize cure quality.

Can you detail my car at an apartment, condo, or office?

Yes. We routinely detail at apartment complexes, condos (with HOA permission), office parking lots, and parking garages across Orlando — Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Winter Park, Maitland, Baldwin Park, downtown, and beyond. We bring our own water and operate quietly without runoff.

Do I need to be home during the detail?

No. Most clients leave us a key or garage code and head to work. We send before/after photos and a text when finished. For exotic vehicles or ceramic coating projects we recommend being available at the end for the walk-through.
