Why Your New Car Needs a Professional Car Detail

When you buy a brand new car, it should be perfect, right? The "big idea" behind our new car detail is the realization that your brand new vehicle isn't as flawless as you think. It's an investment, and like any investment, it needs protection. At EKJ Valeting & Detailing, we provide that protection, ensuring your car not only looks its best but stays that way for years to come. Our philosophy, passed down from father to son, is "quality over quantity," a commitment you can trust - Our Story

Unveiling Perfection: The EKJ Valeting & Detailing Multi-Day Ceramic Coating Process

Introduction

At EKJ Valeting & Detailing, we’re more than just a car wash. We're about providing long-term investment protection for your vehicle. For this blog post, we'll take you through our meticulous, multi-day process on a brand new Honda Civic Type R, showcasing the care and expertise we put into every car that comes through our doors Our Services

Day 1: The Foundation of Flawlessness

The journey begins with a deep, chemical decontamination to prepare all surfaces. We perform a comprehensive exterior wash and remove the wheels for a thorough clean of the wheels, arches, and brake calipers. This level of detail is crucial for a truly flawless finish.

Once inside a dedicated 2 year heat resistant ceramic coating will be installed to the wheels and brake calipers. We also meticulously polish the exhaust tips and apply a two-year ceramic coating.

We then return to the exterior for a full chemical decontamination, followed by a mechanical clay bar treatment. This step is essential for removing any bonded-on dirt and ensuring the paint is perfectly prepared for the next stage of machine polishing. We also take the time to detail the engine bay, having already given it a wash during the exterior process.

Day 2: Precision Enhancement and Ceramic Application

Day two is dedicated to refining the paintwork and installing our advanced ceramic protection. As Rupes Certified & Accredited Machine Polishing Technicians, we perform a single-stage machine polish to eliminate any minor scratches or swirls that may have occurred during transit. This step is vital for achieving a flawless, mirror-gloss finish.

For this detail, we are applying our professional-grade, CarPro dual-layer ceramic coating system. The first layer is our D.Quartz diamond coating, which is perfect for the soft Japanese paint of the Honda Civic. This layer makes the paint incredibly hard, providing a durable foundation. After the diamond layer is installed, we apply CarPro C.Quartz three-year ceramic coating on top, which protects against environmental factors such as bird etchings and chemical staining. This system is designed to give the vehicle up to five years of protection Ceramic Coating

Day 3: Interior Sanctuary

On the final day, we focus on restoring the interior to a factory-fresh condition. Our deep cleaning process includes steam cleaning the Alcantara seats, mats, and carpets to ensure they are meticulously clean.

To provide lasting protection for all interior surfaces, we apply specific Gtechniq products. Gtechniq Leather Guard is used on all leather surfaces, and Gtechniq Smart Fabric is applied to all fabric components, including the mats, carpets, seats, and steering wheel. We treat all fabric surfaces, not just the seats, to ensure complete protection.

Our meticulous attention to detail transforms each vehicle, ensuring it is ready for its new owner to collect and enjoy for years to come.
