Our process is designed to enhance your vehicle’s appearance, extend its lifespan, and protect it against the salty ocean air near UCSD. From daily commuter cars to luxury vehicles driven through Torrey Pines, La Jolla Village, and the UCSD campus, every job receives the same meticulous care and attention to detail.
Protect Your Vehicle from Coastal Conditions with Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is a high-performance liquid polymer that bonds to your vehicle’s clear coat, creating a durable, glass-like barrier. It boosts shine, repels water, and shields against the damaging effects of salt air, UV rays, and environmental contaminants.
At UC San Diego, your vehicle is constantly exposed to the coastal elements — from ocean breeze drifting across campus to sunny afternoons in University City parking lots. Over time, this combination can dull your paint, fade trim, and corrode wheels.
Our advanced ceramic coating packages protect your paint, wheels, trim, and even glass from these harsh conditions. The result? A sleek, high-gloss finish that stays cleaner for longer, makes washing faster and easier, and keeps your vehicle looking freshly detailed, whether you’re parked along Gilman Drive, near the Price Center, or in a La Jolla driveway.

We bring all the water, power, and professional-grade products needed, so you don’t have to leave campus.

What services do you offer on campus?
Our UCSD mobile detailing includes full interior and exterior services, such as hand washing, wheel and tire cleaning, clay bar decontamination, wax or sealant protection, vacuuming, carpet and upholstery shampoo, leather care, and streak-free glass cleaning. We also offer ceramic coating packages for long-term paint and trim protection.
How does ceramic coating help vehicles near UCSD?
Being so close to the Pacific Ocean means your car is exposed to salt air, humidity, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. Our ceramic coating packages create a high-gloss, protective barrier that keeps your paint, wheels, and trim looking new for years while making future washes quicker and easier.

You can call or text us at (858) 224-2382 or use our online booking form. Just let us know your location on campus or in the surrounding neighborhoods, and we’ll handle the rest — including bringing all equipment and supplies.
