At Metropolitan Detail in Redmond, we apply CQuartz SiC, our entry-level ceramic coating. It puts a solid layer of protection over your paint, shields it from environmental contaminants like dirt, grime, and water spots, and gives it an extreme smoothness and deep gloss that makes routine cleaning much easier. Your car stays looking fresh for a year. We take care of drivers all over Bellevue and Seattle.
CQuartz SiC is an easy, affordable way to start protecting your paint. Its Silicon Carbide formula brings a deep, brilliant gloss and an incredibly slick surface that makes washing easier, while resisting chemicals from pH 3 to 12, water spots, and mineral deposits. It shields your paint from everyday environmental contaminants and holds its shine for a full year. Entry-level in price, but never in performance.
A full year of true ceramic protection, far longer than any wax or sealant can offer.
A silicon carbide base gives strong chemical resistance against harsh substances and fallout.
Water, dust, and dirt bead up and roll off, so routine cleaning gets noticeably quicker.
Every SiC coating includes a full wash, decontamination, and a polish before the coating goes on. A coating is only as good as the surface under it.
CQuartz seals your finish with a glossy, hydrophobic top coat. Every coating includes a full wash, decontamination, and prep, because a coating is only as good as the paint underneath it. If you want more swirl and scratch removal than the polish we include, we will take a look and quote it. Heavy contaminants like overspray, moss, or hard sap take extra labor, also quoted after we see the car.
The main ingredient in CQuartz SiC is silicon carbide, which gives the coating strong chemical resistance from pH 3 to 12. That protects your paint from harsh substances and the environmental fallout that settles on a car, so the finish keeps its integrity.
Water spots are one of the most common headaches for car owners out here. SiC is formulated to help mitigate mineral deposits and water spots, so the car cleans up easier and keeps its gloss even after a wash.
You get a real, noticeable jump in gloss, and the hydrophobic surface makes water, dust, and dirt bead up and roll off. That simplifies your routine cleaning and keeps the car looking freshly detailed with less work.
Entry-level in price, not in performance. CQuartz SiC protects your paint from environmental contaminants for a full year, preserving the finish and helping your car hold its value.
John, Lee and the entire team are top notch. John joined us to inspect the Tesla on the scheduled date and it happened to be the wettest day of the decade with delivery outside. John was soaking wet and yet took his time to inspect the car in painstaking detail, including the underbody. These guys are craftsmen and designers.
Great customer service and communication. Dropped off my car in the morning in exchange for their loaner car. I picked up my well-groomed car at end of the day. Every surface was seemingly cleaned. I am satisfied with the Wash, Decon and Protect package, and will return in the spring for an upgraded exterior package.
This is what truly sets us apart. Professional paint correction removes swirls and scratches from your vehicle’s paint using the world’s best polishes and techniques. Most detailers use low-grade polishes that fill swirls with silicones and waxes to hide them. We remove them. Through multiple stages of machine polishing, the process takes more time, but the result is a finish that’s genuinely restored, not masked. Every CQuartz SiC coating includes a light paint correction to prep the surface. If you want to remove deeper swirls and scratches, we can take the paint further, charged by the hour on top of your coating so the corrected paint is sealed and protected afterward. We recommend bringing your vehicle in for an evaluation, so we can assess the paint and give you an accurate quote.
SiC is the entry point in the CQuartz line. Professional steps up to a nano-ceramic hybrid for 2-3 years, and Finest Reserve is the flagship at 3-5 years, infrared cured.
While your car is here, these are easy to add on.
A hydrophobic glass coating for your windshield and glass. It repels water, cuts glare, and makes bugs and sap wipe off easily, for a clearer view in the rain.
Clear headlights matter for safe driving. Over the years, they oxidize and yellow, dimming the light they give off. We wet sand and polish them back to clear, then add paint protection film to keep them that way for years.
A high-temp ceramic on the wheels and calipers so brake dust and grime wipe right off and they stop fading.
Faded plastic trim is one of the first things that ages a car. CQuartz DLUX is a high-silica ceramic, over 50% pure silica, that restores black trim and protects it from UV fading.
Add-on pricing is subject to a vehicle inspection.
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.
About a year with proper maintenance.
It is the main ingredient, a tough material that gives the coating strong chemical resistance and helps fight water spots and mineral deposits.
SiC is the entry tier, 1 coat and 1 year. Professional is a nano-ceramic hybrid at 2-3 years with a deeper shine. Finest Reserve is the flagship at 3-5 years, infrared cured.
No. A coating is for gloss and easy cleaning, not impact. For chip protection you want paint protection film.
A single stage polish is included, so the coating goes on clean paint. If you want swirls fully removed, correction can be added, quoted after we see the car.
Hand wash with a coating-safe soap, and skip wash-and-wax products, they gum it up.
