Built by Gulf Coast natives.

Born and raised on Florida’s Gulf Coast — cars, sunshine and coastal life are in our DNA. We know what Florida heat, salt and humidity do to a vehicle, so we only use films and coatings proven to survive it.

Every car is handled in a clean, climate-controlled studio by installers who care about the edges nobody else looks at.

FAQ

Good questions.

Why should I PPF my vehicle in Florida?

Florida’s intense sun, frequent rain and road debris damage paint fast. PPF is a transparent, durable shield against scratches, rock chips, bird droppings and UV fading — preserving appearance and resale value.

What % VLT should I tint my windows?

Dark (5–20%) gives privacy. Medium (30–50%) balances privacy and visibility. Light (50–70%) lets in more light while cutting glare. Try the Tint Studio to preview it.

Is dark tint legal in Florida?

Florida generally requires front side windows to let in more than 28% light. On sedans, rear sides and back glass must be above 15%; SUVs, trucks and vans may go to 6%. Medical exemptions exist — ask us.

Is ceramic coating better than wax?

Yes — it lasts years instead of weeks, forms a hard layer against dirt, sap and bird droppings, blocks UV, beads water and enhances gloss without frequent polishing.
