A ceramic coating is an investment worth protecting. At Metropolitan Detail, our Ceramic Maintenance Polish revives your finish with CarPro Essence Plus, bringing back the gloss and protection that keep your vehicle looking its best. For drivers all over Redmond, Bellevue, and Seattle.
If your car already has a ceramic coating, this is how you keep it performing, bringing back deep gloss and helping your coating last longer. It’s also a great way to freshen things up after a season change. We start with a foam bath and a careful two-bucket hand wash, then move through a full paint decontamination, using an iron remover, a tar remover, and a synthetic clay pad to lift the brake dust, road tar, and grime that build up and cling to the surface over time. Once the paint is clean, we tape off your trim so no polish residue gets left behind. Then comes the main event: CarPro’s Essence+, a SiO2 coating built from ceramic repair agents, high-gloss quartz, and water-repelling nanoparticles. This non-abrasive formula fills in fine flaws in your coating, brings back deep gloss, and adds a fresh layer of protection, helping your coating last longer while making water bead off like new again.
A polish made to repair and enhance a coating, not cut through it.
Bonded contamination comes out before the polish goes on.
Final pricing is based on a vehicle inspection, since some cars need more than what is included. Bring your car by for a free evaluation.
Depending on the finish you want, paint correction may be needed, and that is priced after a vehicle inspection. Heavy contaminants like overspray, moss growth, or hard sap take extra labor, also priced after inspection.
Beyond an exterior detail, paint correction is a multi-stage polishing process that removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation at the source instead of hiding them. A lot of shops fill those swirls with waxes and polishes that look good for a few weeks. We remove them for real, using premium products and the same careful, thorough approach our customers have trusted us for over 20 years. If the Exterior polish won’t get your paint where you want it, this is the step that will. Bring the car by and we will show you what it needs.
Hard water spots are mineral deposits, and they will etch into your clear coat if they sit long enough. We remove them safely and bring the finish back smooth and clear, without damaging the protective layers underneath.
Has your car picked up paint overspray, industrial fallout, or stubborn road tar? With all the construction and development around the Eastside, it happens more than you’d think, often through no fault of your own. Our overspray removal service safely lifts these bonded contaminants from your paint, glass, and trim, bringing back a smooth, clean finish and stopping the long-term damage they cause when left untreated. It’s an essential step for protecting your paint after any exposure to a construction or industrial environment.

Took my Crosstrek here and was not expecting the final details to be so good! When discussing what I wanted done detailing wise every concern was addressed. My car looks better than it did the day I bought it from the dealership! The exterior and interior is amazing! Highly recommend for a good detailing and fresh new look! Plus the customer service is really amazing. Clean workspace and professional!
Great customer service and communication. Dropped off my Tesla in the morning in exchange for their loaner car (a very clean and usable Kia Soul). I picked up my well-groomed car at end of the day. Every surface was seemingly cleaned. I am satisfied with the Wash, Decon & Protect package, and will return in the spring for an upgraded exterior package that includes a sealant.
Because of my work schedule, I had to make arrangements ahead of time for dropping off and picking up the car and they were more than accommodating. The staff was exceptional in greeting me and getting me checked in. I am very picky about my gloss black Volvo and absolutely fearful of swirled paint. When I went to pick up my car, I was ecstatic. The paint is flawless. I took it for an exterior detail but they went above and beyond and thoroughly cleaned the interior too! Highly recommended!
Quality work takes time, and you should not have to wait around for it. We keep a small free fleet, based on availability, so your day keeps moving.
Cars that already have a ceramic coating and need it revived. If your car is bare paint, the Essential Exterior is the right one. If it has film, the PPF Maintenance Polish.
No. That is the whole point. Essence+ is a non-abrasive polish made to work with a coating rather than cut through it, so it repairs and enhances what is there.
A regular cutting polish removes a layer of your coating or clear coat. This one does not. It refreshes the coating and extends its life.
Not real defects. For that you want paint correction, priced after we see the car.
The Essence+ hydrophobicity lasts 3-6 months, and the underlying coating keeps doing its job.
Once or twice a year is common, or after a season change, to keep the coating performing.
