Frequently Asked Questions

Professional ceramic coating in Orlando starts at $599 (Essential, 2-year warranty), $799 (Pro, 3-year warranty — most popular), and $999 (Signature, 5-year warranty). Prices are for sedans; SUVs and trucks add 15–30%. All tiers at Black V Protect include two-bucket hand wash, clay-bar decontamination, and a documented written warranty. Call (407) 205-8041 for an exact quote.

Essential ceramic coating lasts 2 years, Pro lasts 3 years, and Signature lasts up to 5 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends on Orlando's UV exposure, wash habits, and whether you follow a maintenance schedule. Black V Protect recommends a monthly maintenance wash ($105/sedan) to maximize coating life.

Wait 7 days after application for the ceramic coating to fully cure. After that, use the two-bucket hand-wash method with pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes — they can scratch the coating surface. Black V Protect offers a recurring maintenance plan starting at $105/month to keep your coating performing at its best.

Yes — Florida's intense UV rays, humidity, salt air, and frequent rain make ceramic coating especially valuable. It creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, prevents oxidation, and blocks UV damage for 2–5 years. Compared to waxing every 3 months, ceramic coating saves time and money long-term while providing superior paint protection in Orlando's climate.

Yes — coating a new car locks in the factory finish before Orlando's sun, bugs, and road debris cause damage. Black V Protect recommends the Pro tier ($799) for new vehicles since the paint is typically in excellent condition, requiring minimal correction before coating. New-car coating appointments are usually completed in 1 day.

Ceramic coating is a liquid nano-coating that adds gloss, UV protection, and hydrophobic properties but does not prevent rock chips. PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a thick urethane film that physically absorbs rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Many Orlando clients combine both — PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic coating on the rest — for maximum protection.

No — ceramic coating requires a climate-controlled, dust-free environment for proper curing. All ceramic coating is performed at our Conway Rd studio in Orlando (3725 Conway Rd, 32812). However, mobile detailing, paint sealants, and spray ceramic top-ups are available at your location across Greater Orlando.

Paint Protection Film at Black V Protect in Orlando starts at $699 for Basic Road (front bumper, headlights, mirrors), $1,899 for Full Front (hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors, headlights — most popular), and $4,899 for Full Vehicle coverage. All tiers use STEK Dynoshield self-healing film with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

STEK Dynoshield PPF lasts up to 10 years with a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, peeling, cracking, and bubbling. Actual lifespan depends on Orlando's UV exposure and care. Black V Protect recommends hand washing only and avoiding automatic car washes to maximize PPF life.

Yes — professionally installed STEK Dynoshield PPF removes cleanly without damaging factory paint. Black V Protect uses heat-assisted removal techniques that leave the original clear coat intact.

Paint correction at Black V Protect in Orlando costs $450 for 1-Step (removes 50%+ of swirls and light defects) and $700 for 2-Step (removes 75%+ of defects including deeper scratches and oxidation). Both use Shine Supply professional compounds. Adding ceramic coating after correction is recommended to lock in the restored finish.

Paint correction removes swirl marks, holograms, water spots, oxidation, light scratches, bird-dropping etching, and surface defects using multi-stage machine polishing with Shine Supply compounds.
