“Estera went above and beyond my expectations! The vehicle looks amazing. She delivered a high quality of work and explained everything to me ahead of time. She applied the System-X ceramic coating and polishing to my car after taking care of the scratches and made the paint look glossy and brand new again! Thank you Zdetailz!”
“AMAZING! Estera worked for 14.5 hrs. straight on my 2018 Honda Accord in my own garage. She began at 9:00 am on a rainy Thursday washing, using a clay bar then wet sanding scraches and mars from bird droppings to compounding the entire car for paint correction. After prepping the car with a mirror finish, she applied a lifetime warranty ceramic coating then finishing the entire project at 11:30 pm. The car looks like it just pulled off the showroom floor. I have her scheduled to do the same on my other two cars. This girl is incredible!"
“Highly recommend! I purchased the lifetime ceramic coating for my 2 year old Honda CRV. I want to maintain it in optimal condition. The process was easy. Excellent communication and punctual. She was able to apply the coating while in my garage. The paint looks absolutely stunning! It’s worth every penny.”
