Garage notes, coming soon.

A library of practical detailing and ceramic coating articles for Portland metro drivers - what holds up in the rain, what's worth the money, and what's just marketing.

Upcoming topics

  • • Why Portland's road grime is harder on paint than you think
  • • Paint correction: 1, 2, or 3 stages - what your car actually needs
  • • EV-specific detailing: Tesla, Rivian, and Mach-E paint quirks
  • • Maintenance washing on a ceramic coating (and what kills it early)
  • • Pet hair, kid spills, and other interior horror stories
  • • Headlight restoration: what works and what doesn't
In the meantime
