  • How often should I get my vehicle professionally detailed?

    For most drivers, we recommend a full professional detailing every 4 to 6 months to maintain your vehicle’s appearance and protect surfaces from long-term damage.

  • What does a full vehicle detail at Prestige Detail include?

    Our full detailing service covers thorough interior cleaning, exterior decontamination, paint enhancement, trim conditioning, engine bay cleaning, and protection applications tailored to your vehicle’s needs.

  • How long does it take to install paint protection film?

    PPF installation timing depends on the coverage. Full Front PPF usually takes 1–2 days, while Full Body protection can take 3–5 days to ensure perfect alignment, bonding, and finish.

  • Can paint protection film be removed without damaging the paint?

    Yes. High-quality PPF can be safely removed by professionals without harming your original paint, even after several years, as long as the film is in good condition.

  • What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

    PPF is a physical, self-healing film that protects against rock chips, scratches, and debris. Ceramic coatings are liquid polymer layers that bond to your paint, offering UV protection, hydrophobic properties, and easier cleaning — but not impact resistance.

  • How long does window tint last?

    High-quality films like Geoshield C2 Carbon, C2 Ceramic, and Pro Nano are engineered to last 10+ years with proper installation and care, without fading, bubbling, or discoloring.

  • Does window tint block UV rays?

    Yes. Our premium window tints block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, helping protect your vehicle’s interior from fading and reducing exposure for you and your passengers.

  • Can you apply ceramic coating over PPF?

    Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend it. Applying a ceramic coating over PPF enhances gloss, adds hydrophobic properties, and makes maintenance even easier.

  • How long does ceramic coating last?

    Depending on the coating selected and maintenance, ceramic coatings can last 2 to 7 years or longer. We offer professional-grade coatings designed for maximum durability on Michigan roads.

  • How soon after PPF or ceramic coating installation can I wash my car?

    We recommend waiting at least 7 days after installation before the first wash to allow full curing of the film or coating, ensuring maximum bond strength and longevity.

  • How long does a ceramic coating last?

    A ceramic coating typically provides protection for a duration of two to five years, depending on various factors such as application quality and maintenance.

  • What does paint protection film protect against?

    Paint protection film offers defense against potential damage from rocks, road debris, and other objects that may cause chips or scratches to your vehicle's paint surface.

  • What are the benefits of window tint?

    Window tinting provides several advantages, including increased privacy, reduced glare and heat inside the vehicle, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced protection against harmful UV rays.
