We use System X Crystal+ for 2 years of paint protection. It adds a slick, glossy layer to your paint and helps make routine washing easier.
The package includes one-step machine polishing, ceramic coating on the agreed exterior painted body panels, and materials. Glass and unpainted plastic are not included.
On low-roof cars, the roof includes a light machine polish and coating. On tall SUVs, pickups and vans, roof polishing and coating are excluded when our mobile equipment cannot provide reliable access to the full roof. We confirm this before you approve the price or book.
Our ceramic coating package includes a one-step machine polish. The condition of your paint determines whether that is enough for the finish you want. Send a few clear photos and tell us which marks bother you most. We can discuss the options before your Saratoga Springs appointment, then inspect the paint in person.
You may be looking to protect a finish you already like. We still check the paint before coating; a new car can have light marks, too. The included polish prepares the finish and improves gloss. We will go over any additional correction with you before booking.
Fine circular marks from washing and light haze are the kinds of defects the included one-step polish is meant to improve. Send a photo of the whole panel and a close-up in daylight. We will explain what improvement to expect and which marks may still be visible.
If pronounced scratches are your main concern, we may recommend separately quoted Paint Correction before coating. Ceramic coating will not repair chips or deep scratches. We will discuss the likely improvement and remaining damage so you can decide how much work makes sense for your car.
Send your vehicle details, a few photos of the paint and your service address. Let us know if a driveway, garage or carport and a nearby power outlet are available.
We’ll review the photos, discuss the work your car needs and confirm your address and setup. You’ll know the proposed price and any travel charge before booking.
At the appointment, we inspect the car and carry out the agreed preparation and coating. We explain aftercare for the selected product.
Planning your mobile appointment
Send a few photos of your car, your address and a short description of where we can work. We’ll confirm the details with you before scheduling your Saratoga Springs appointment.
Tell us the year, make and model, and send a few clear photos in daylight. Include any scratches, swirls or other areas you’d like us to look at. These help us recommend the right amount of prep before coating.

Let us know if a private driveway, garage or carport is available, with room around the car and access to a working, standard 120V outlet nearby. A short description is enough to get started.
We’ll confirm your address and work setup with you before scheduling. We bring our equipment and products.
Have your car washed before we arrive; a standard car wash is fine. Keep the agreed work area clear, with room around the car, good ventilation and access to the outlet. If you rent, get the homeowner’s permission first. We work at private homes only.

Great work and very professional. Alex did a really good job getting the car ready before applying the ceramic coating. The car looks clean, shiny, and almost new again. I would definitely recommend him.
My black car had a lot of swirl marks and small scratches from car washes. After Alex worked on it, the paint looked completely different. It was darker, shinier, and most of the scratches were gone.
