We live in a location with lots of maple trees that drip tree sap and insect honeydew which are notorious for destroying a car's paint. I looked into better car washes - like touchless centers (which are dramatically less damaging than typical automatic car washes), better car waxes, etc. I then tripped over the option of ceramic coating and PPF (Paint Protection Film), but the latter is extremely expensive and this isn't exactly a Lamborghini. A quick search of businesses that do coating in my area led to a handful of options. I called them all and got estimates ranging from $900 up to $2,500 with protection guarantees ranging from zero to nine years. Of all the places I called, the most responsive and helpful was DeCrosta. I'd obviously never done this before so I had a litany of questions. How does it work? Can it help with tree sap? How does car washing work? What doesn't it protect? What's the exact process? The list was endless. The owner, Joe, picked up the phone right away and answered all my questions in detail. After a few days, I called back again with a few more questions and, after he answered those, I set up an appointment to get it done. I opted for the nine-year application at a price well under what other shops were offering for just two or three years of protection. Much to my surprise, Joe actually picked the vehicle up at my house and took it in for the day. He recommended keeping it overnight to allow the coating to set properly. The next day he brought it back and my wife and I were astounded. I'd never seen a car shine like this before. The little glitter-like dots in the paint (Joe informed me they're called flakes) were incredibly prominent. I'd barely even noticed them before. Plus, water just fell off the car or beaded up in ways beyond what I'd seen with waxes. He showed me how simple it was to just blow the water off with a leaf blower. Joe also took the time to walk me through future care. He sent links for the right products to buy for doing my own car washes - washes that proved to be much easier given the coating. At an included follow-up wash he showed me how to do the wheels properly and the correct way to use a cleaning mitt to avoid any damage. It was all pretty fascinating for something as simple as a car wash. The first time I washed it on my own, everything happened just the way he described. The dirt slid off as did the honeydew spots and tree sap. The water vanished in the recommended towel with barely a touch. I found myself enjoying the experience for the first time since washing my first car back in the 80s. The tedious, exhausting exercise of the past was gone. DeCrosta kept me in the loop every step of the way and continued answering my questions after the process was complete. He explained why the products he uses are better than what you might normally pick up. Better pH balancing, better at working on ceramic coatings, better at reducing wear, etc. I couldn't possibly be happier with the service and his continued attention to the finest details. My wife's biggest question at the start was if this was "necessary" and I reminded her that we always spend the money to protect our phones. Why shouldn't we apply the same thinking for a $40,000 purchase? Only time will tell how well it stands up to the elements and challenges of my location, but Joe assures me he's got it covered - and we believe him.
