Mustafa and his team PPF'ed, Ceramic Coated and detailed my 1992 Toyota Supra, and the car now looks stunning. He kept me informed of the job progress, corrected areas that had been poorly done by others and the results could not have been better. He also detailed inside and out a family member's 2020 Toyota Tacoma, and again the vehicle turned out brilliantly. It is his attention to detail, absolute commitment to satisfying the customer that stands out. He is honest, never hesitates to answer questions and I cannot recommend him and his business higher. He is definitely an exceptional provider in his industry.

These guys are professional, respectful and honest. I needed my paint protection film replaced because it was peeling on me, I gave them a call and they were able to get me in the next day. Mo took a look at my car and recommended that there was no need to remove all the paint protection film and just replace the bumper because all the other parts was perfectly fine. We also looked at some scratches that were really bothering me on my car's paint work and he recommended that I get my car paint corrected and ceramic coated. After they were done with my vehicle my car looked like it came out of the factory without a single scratch on it. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family.

I didn't think it was possible. Wow. I dropped off a 7 year old car with scratches and stained carpet,.. and got a gleaming show car back. The ceramic coating is astonishing -- its like the car has a “doesn't get dirty” superpower. Did I mention the shine? Well done Mo and your team.

I got my rav 4 detailed here amazing work I’ve been coming here ever since I got it. I did my paint protection film here as well they did a complementary check on the ppf that was previously done and gave me a great deal on protecting my headlights. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to get their car cleaned or protected.

The team did a superb job restoring our 2018 GLS450 Mercedes to as close to showroom standard as possible - in addition to the superb work completed, I was sincerely grateful at how easy it was to book a same day service (I was lucky I suspect!)
Tim C.Google review · Jul 2024 · 2018 Mercedes GLS 450
I would highly recommend this company. Mustafa and his crew are very knowledgeable, professional and do exceptional work for reasonable pricing. They go out of their way to satisfy their clients. They made my red 2015 Durango look brand new! Thanks for everything, TG.

Mo and his team transformed the interior of our extremely dusty and dirty back-roads work truck into brand new showroom quality. Their Ozone treatment removed all the built up smell of dirty/wet coveralls and chemicals. From booking the appointment to picking up the truck it was a short 48-hour turn around. 100% will be returning for repeat business.
Paul B.Google review · Jan 2024 · Work truck
I had my mom’s car detailed here in advance of listing it for sale. Booking online and knowing the full costs upfront were really helpful. The location near chinook is convenient. I was able to catch an Uber to get to a business luncheon nearby while I waited. As an added bonus they were able to repair rock chips so it’s like a one stop shop! If you want to wait while your car is in, there’s coffee and couches for you to hang Out on. I’ll recommend to friends and book other vehicles in the future.
Kristell C.Google review · Jun 2024
Did an excellent job detailing my 4Runner. They managed to get all of the dog hair out of the carpet and all the crevices it accumulated over the summer/fall, which is amazing considering I have two massively shedding pugs. Will definitely use their services again.
Christine K.Google review · Nov 2023 · Toyota 4Runner
Amazing service. Mustafa was exceptional in getting this done with Protection Film and Restoration. Definitely worth the price and time.

Calgary winters are hard on clear coat

Salt brine, road film and hard water bond to bare paint. Getting them off takes scrubbing, and scrubbing leaves swirls.
  • Salt brine

    The City treats roads with sodium and calcium chloride. A coated surface sheds brine instead of holding it.

  • Road film

    Grime that clings to bare paint rinses off a coated car more easily, so washes are quicker.

  • Swirl marks

    Every hard scrub adds fine scratches. Easier washes mean fewer of them.

  • Rock chips

    A coating won't stop chips, and we won't tell you it does. For chips you want paint protection film, and the coating goes right over it.

How we coat a car

The prep is most of the job, and every package includes it.
  1. Wash and decontaminate

    Hand wash, iron remover and clay bar lift what an ordinary wash leaves behind.
  2. Correct if needed

    If the paint has swirls, we recommend correction first so the coating locks in a clean finish. Correction before a coating starts at $599.
  3. Panel wipe and apply

    A solvent wipe strips oils, then the coating goes on panel by panel and is levelled.
  4. Cure

    The coating bonds to the clear coat as it cures. Keep it out of rain and off salted roads for the first 24 to 48 hours.

Ceramic coating packages

Full decontamination and surface prep on every package. The difference is how long the coating is rated for and how much of the car it covers.

Questions people ask us

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask it on the form and we'll answer with your quote.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Calgary?

Prices start at $899 for the 1-Year Sport package and go to $1,699 for the 8-Year Ultimate. The price includes full decontamination, clay bar treatment and surface prep. Paint correction is extra if the paint needs it.

Is ceramic coating worth it for a Calgary winter?

A coating makes the paint hydrophobic, so brine and grime can't bond to the clear coat and rinse off far more easily. It protects painted surfaces, not the undercarriage; for frame and floor-pan rust you want undercoating.

Does ceramic coating prevent rock chips?

No. A coating is only a few microns thick and has no impact absorption. For rock-chip protection you need paint protection film, about 8 mil thick. The best setup is film on the impact zones and a coating over the whole car.

Should I get PPF or ceramic first?

PPF first, always. The film has to stick to the clear coat, not to a coating. Then the coating goes over both the film and the rest of the car.

Can ceramic coating go over PPF?

Yes, and we usually recommend it. Film warranties differ on coatings, so we check which film is on your car against its maker's current warranty before we quote. With any PPF package the coating is 20% off.

Is it worth it on a leased car?

Yes. The 1-Year Sport ($899) is built for lease terms and keeps brine, bird droppings and sap from etching the paint before you hand it back. For a 3 or 4-year lease, the 4-Year Premium ($1,199) is usually the better value.

Can a coating be removed?

Yes. Coatings are semi-permanent: removal takes machine polishing, and we recommend having a professional do it so the clear coat isn't burned through.

How do I pay, and is there a deposit?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Interac Debit and cash. Credit cards carry a 2.4% surcharge, and a deposit is taken on all bookings. We don't offer financing.
