Consumer Awareness Coating - Vive Car Detailing Houston TX

Is the price too good to be true?

It is natural to want to find the best value when selecting products and services. Once you understand what it takes to properly and professionally apply a ceramic coating to a vehicle, you will see why we like to say, “You get what you pay for.”

Yes, there are many low-priced ceramic coating installers out there, all claiming to do a great job. But doing it right takes dedication, commitment and time – all things that these bargain basement installers simply can’t afford to give you.

You will soon come to realize that what seemed to be a “great deal” has turned into money down the drain. At the very least, the coating may not last and will have to be reapplied by someone else, at additional cost to you. In the worst-case scenario, your vehicle’s finish could be ruined and need repainting. That cheap coating job just got very expensive.

A top-notch ceramic coating installation requires all of the steps necessary to assure a high-quality result. This includes proper paint preparation, decontamination of the exterior body surfaces, and the correct curing time after the coating has been applied. This usually takes many hours, and sometimes even days to complete.

At Vivë Auto Detailing, we take the time that’s necessary to perform all of these key processes, with an obsessive attention to detail. We are dedicated to your total satisfaction, both now and in the future.

YUANXIAN are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

How does the warranty process work if the coating fails?

Always read the fine print on the warranty card. Most often vehicle owners fall for fake advertisements that falsely promise a ‘lifetime warranty’, as a matter of fact there’s no such thing as ‘lifetime warranty’. If the original installer goes out of business or you relocate to a different city, the warranty stands void.In case you’re not satisfied with the installation, most businesses will only refund between 30% to 50% of the total invoice.Don’t overlook the importance aspects of installation, rather look for companies that maintain complete transparency and incorporate all the necessary steps and stages of the coating installation process.

How do you apply the ceramic coating without scratching my vehicle’s paint?

It takes long hours perfecting and polishing the paint surface, even then it’s not 100% protected. Even the tiniest contaminant is highly potent of causing damage to a freshly polished surface, therefore it is important that a new applicator is used at every stage of the coating process.As we apply the ceramic coating to your vehicle’s finish, we constantly change the application cloths we use to apply the coating. This reduces the possibility that any contaminants can scratch the paint. We use at least one new applicator cloth for each body panel.

Do you provide any service after my ceramic coating installation has been completed?

Vivë includes a free follow up wash and inspection, a few weeks after you have your vehicle back, at no additional cost.
This takes care of 2 things:

a) To ensure your first wash is flawless and you see the actual results of the ceramic coating.

b) To ensure our installation is phenomenal.

During the first month the glowing finish will be your favourite frequent sight, and that’s when we’ll assume everything is perfect. Self-scrutiny truly helps us become better in our responsibility to keep our promise to our clients.

Answers about window tint, PPF, and ceramic coatings

It depends! A lot of things like size of the windows, number of windows, and film type dictate how long it takes to tint. Usually we’ll give you a rough estimate when we schedule you, but a good guesstimate is: between 1.5 to 2 hours. 

And yep! You can wait in the shop while we do it!

All window films are definitely not created equally. We’re proud to offer the window films (and PPF) manufactured by XPEL: one of the leading manufacturers of premium films in the United States. There are several options: including both a basic dyed film (CS) as well as nano-ceramic films (XR and XR PLUS.) We’ll go over everything with you when providing you with a quote and getting you scheduled.

Any of our XPEL PRIME Automotive window films carry a Lifetime Warranty direct from the manufacturer!

When you see, for instance, a 5% film: that means that 95% of visible light is filtered out, allowing just 5% of Visible Light Transmission (VLT.) The percentage is the amount of light allowed through the film.

It depends! Because there are so many different coverage options, it can take anywhere from an hour for a basic wear and tear package to 5 days for a full wrap. We’ll let you know how long we need to have your vehicle when we provide you with a quote!

Pretty much anything and everything. We use state-of-the-art software that allows us to custom tailor coverage options to your needs and vehicle year/make/model. From a full wrap to just a few panels or pillars, our team can ensure your vehicle receives the coverage it deserves.

Ceramic coating is a liquid coating that hardens. It gets applied to the surfaces of the vehicle and is designed to prevent environmental contamination from damaging your clear coat. 

Paint protection film is a physical film that is adhered to the vehicle to help absorb impact damage as well as help prevent things like rock chips, key scratches, light door dings, scrapes from rings/watches/purses, and loads more.

We typically recommend that ceramic coating is installed on top of the PPF to provide your vehicle with the best of both worlds and give you the lasting coverage you’re looking for!

Short answer: not without prep work. We’d first need to “strip” the ceramic coating away by doing a polish on the paint, exposing the factory clear coat, to THEN be able to install PPF.

We recommend that you get PPF installed first, then topcoated with a ceramic coating.

Durability is highly dependent upon the environment and care of the coating. For instance, a garage-kept vehicle coating may last much longer than the 4 year XPEL FUSION PLUS warranty. In order to maintain the warranty, an annual checkup is required to be performed by an authorized XPEL dealership.
