Services
Ceramic Coating
Our ceramic coating service applies advanced silica-based protection that bonds with your vehicle's paint. This hydrophobic layer repels water and contaminants while providing 9H hardness scratch resistance. The treatment includes paint decontamination and polishing to ensure perfect surface preparation. Lasting 1-6 years depending on package selected, it maintains showroom gloss while reducing maintenance requirements.
Paint Correction
Professional paint correction eliminates swirl marks, water spots, and oxidation through multi-stage polishing. Our technicians use precision tools to measure clear coat thickness before performing defect removal. Single-stage correction addresses light imperfections while multi-stage processes restore heavily damaged finishes. All corrections include final protective wax or sealant application.
Interior Detailing
Comprehensive interior detailing includes steam sanitization, upholstery shampooing, and leather conditioning. We use industrial extractors to remove embedded dirt and pet hair while HEPA vacuums capture microscopic allergens. Dashboard plastics receive UV protection to prevent cracking. Odor elimination treatments use enzyme-based solutions or ozone generators for complete sanitization.
Mobile Detailing
Our mobile detailing brings full-shop capabilities directly to your location. Equipped vehicles carry purified water, power supplies, and commercial equipment to complete any service. Technicians perform complete interior and exterior treatments at your home or office without requiring vehicle drop-off. Service includes protective floor runners to maintain clean workspaces.
Headlight Restoration
Professional headlight restoration removes oxidation and cloudiness from polycarbonate lenses. The multi-step process includes sanding with progressively finer abrasives, polishing, and UV-resistant coating application. This restores optimal light output while preventing future yellowing. The service typically takes 45-60 minutes with no special aftercare required.

We had been looking for a reliable car wash/detailing service for weeks when we found Fresh Layer Mobile. I booked an appointment online that same day and got a confirmation call an hour or two before the scheduled time. MIGUEL WAS AWESOME! He was very professional, quick, and exceeded our expectations. We are super grateful to have come across Fresh Layer Mobile -- especially Miguel!

Customer service was very professional and they showed up for the scheduled online appointment I made. Services I requested was a hand wash and sprayed wax. Overall job was OK since my vehicle is still fairly new. Perhaps the staff needs to slow down when they're washing the car to make sure that they are very detailed in their cleaning and not leaving any gaps.

I cannot praise them enough. My car was layers of sand, food, grime, dust, and DOG HAIR. After they spent some real quality time my car looks better than they say I bought it! Great customer service, extreme attention to detail, ensured all products would be acceptable to use, dedicated to getting all the fur out of my car. I've never had any of my cars so clean!

Extremely happy with Fresh Layer. I had them put a ceramic coat on my new Bronco. The detailer showed up on time and communicated very well all through the process, having me look at the paint after the wash and paint correction and before putting the coating on. He did a great job with the detailing and the ceramic coat turned out great. Overall I am very happy and would recommend them to anyone looking to get a ceramic coat put on.
