Frequently Asked Questions

Ceramic coating is a protective layer that bonds to your vehicle's surfaces—paint, gel coat, metal, plastic, and glass. It shields your vehicle for 6 months to 5 years, protecting against bird droppings, acid rain, UV rays, wear and tear, stains, and more.

We recommend a full detail twice a year—usually at the start and end of the season for boats. Monthly maintenance washes are great in between, especially if your vehicle has a ceramic coating.

Boat detailing time depends on the type, condition, and level of service. A 43' yacht needing a full detail might take up to two weeks, while a ski boat for a monthly wash could be done in 4 hours. We'll always give you our best estimate when you book.

Just like with boats, the time it takes to detail your car depends on the service being performed and the vehicle's condition. A dirty Tahoe getting ceramic coating will take longer than a clean Lexus. Sometimes, unexpected events can cause delays, but we'll always give you our best estimate when you book.

Getting ready for your detail service is easy! Just remove personal items, clear out storage compartments, and have any spare keys ready. You're all set!

The best way to detail your vehicle is to bring it to a professional. The time and cost it takes to do it yourself often outweighs having it done by experts. Most people don't have the right supplies and equipment, which can lead to less-than-ideal results. But if you decide to do it yourself, always work from front to back, top to bottom, and avoid using household cleaners.

Below the Belt Services prides themselves on providing the best service they can. This takes time. We want to be certain we did all we could to meet the level of service each and every customer has booked with us. That starts with setting realistic expectations and ends with no vehicle leaving our shop before we are satisfied with the work completed. While having to wait for your detail now may be annoying and inconvenient, it is a company policy you'll appreciate when you're vehicle is in our shop.

Primarily we provide detail and ceramic coating services for boats, classic, exotic and luxury cars & truck s well as motorcycles. Although we do make exceptions from time to time these are our focus.

There's a couple reasons we require a deposit for our detailing and ceramic coating services. The first being there are some supplies that may be needed, especially ceramic that we have to order near the time of service and the deposit goes towards those expenses.

Also, because we plan our business and personal lives around our schedule. People who make a deposit are more serious about getting a detail or ceramic coating. It lowers the cancellation and no show rate.
